People liked my old Goosebumps articles so in the spirit of October lets do this...
BEST:
SLAPPY SERIES:
Let's just call it that, he's the reason we all remember anyway.. Inspired by a Twilight episode it's about a sentient dummy who likes making people his slaves, but not before gaslighting enough to make people think your crazy, you know like most evil dolls.. He does stand out a strong enough villain that he's the most remembered..
And lets not forget, he got struck by lightening at one point, so even God was tired of this dude's shit..
WELCOME TO DEAD HOUSE:
I don't really remember the book, so I'll talk about the episode.. It's a personal favourite I still watch it at least once a year in October. I'll just repost an old review I had of it..
"This can be a very unsettling watch, even for adults, depending on your point of view. The town itself is just so dark and creepy, and everyone they meet wears hats and heavy clothes and is always acting a little off. Then we start hearing strange voices and other creepy shit, ending part one with an unsettling scene of a hand in a barrel. Part 2 is when the zombies/vampires/whatever come into play. And even for a kids show, they portray them pretty well. They are quite unnerving. Especially with the music.. Great episode."
HAUNTED MASK:
So basically one of the biggest woobies of the series gets a scary mask to get back air everyone who bullies her (and I mean it's everyone), but it turns out to a angry creature who is a Jerkass Woobie of it's own, being unloved and wanting a body.. Unfortantely it subtles for the one of the protagonist..
CAMP JELLYJAM:
What other kids book ends with slavery to a giant jam monster..
SAY CHEESE AND DIE:
While the episode is, in-different, the books stand out as actually very dark.. I haven't read them but I've seen enough YouTube reviews to understand the book is pretty good..
WORST:
OLD STORY:
So lets get this straight, their aunt is trying to age them for human trafficking? And apparently the "conveniently placed baby food" is the cure?... Yep, makes sense to me.. And baby twist, sure why not..
In the book at least it's a stranger pretending to be the aunt.. Which does actually sound scarier.. But based on episode alone, it's fucking weird..
HARIEST ADVENTURE:
While the book is probably okay I just can't get over the ending.. It stands out my "favourite moral"
"If your turned into a dog by a mysterious chemical. Your parents will just adopt another child, and forget you ever existed.."
I AM YOUR CLONE:
I just remember how extremely predictable this was. Especially the ending, where exactly what I expected the twist to be was exactly what it was..
MASKED MUTANT:
I never read the book, but the episode is so stupid. And Adam West seemed half asleep.. PushingUpRoses does it better..
