Goosebumps has been my first introduction to horror reads when I was a kid. 20 years later I still find it totally creepy and hilarious. 

Horrorland is a series with several books. 

Imagine being a teen, going on a holiday trip with you younger brother, your impatient father with kind of anger issue and your mother. Ok that's not the horror part of the book (or is it?). And before you reach your holidays destination, you find yourself and your family stuck in a creepy "amusement park" with nothing close to be amusing at all and creepy monsters trying to kill you for their own entertainment. 

It's funny creepy and tense in ways only goosebumps can produce. Typical kind of vibes you can find in any goosebumps. 

I really recommend Goosebumps in general and Horrorland series specifically, for kids and teens who like creepy but funny stuff. It's a safe and fun introduction to horror reads (comedic horror) and it's really well written.
