Have you seen the film "Carnival of Souls"? Which came out in 1962. I fully recommend watching it.

[@konstance13]

I think one of my favorites bits about these videos is how John relates the plots to other media, be it The Twilight Zone or a Shyamalan film or a short story. It's easy to write off Goosebumps as "just kids books", but it's cool seeing how so many story archs get reused and reimagined throughout history.

[@JohnWolfe]

Thank you! Since Goosebumps is basically Twilight Zone For Kids and it's 30+ years old now, I think it has been surprisingly influential in horror/thriller media. It's interesting to look into!

[@lich109]

"I know RL Stine isn't going to have one of the children die." Yeah, he saved that for Fear Street.

The Ghost Next Door messed me up the first time I saw it. My flabbers were absolutely ghasted

[@primetimetg]

😂😂😂😂😂 to the flabbergasted reference

[@NeonNecropolis92]

I always found Ghost Next Door to be pretty similar to The Others. In that movie, the main characters think they have ghosts in their house, but the "ghosts" are actually alive and the main characters are the ones who are dead. Sixth Sense is an apt comparison too but it doesn't really have that switcheroo element.

[@summerlynn2639]

I was gonna say too that he forgot to mention The Others

[@Jopeth23]

That scene where the little girl with a white dress playing, and turned out to be an old woman (who in the end was revealed to be a spirit medium) freaked me out a lot.

[@pinsandneedles3]

Same!!

[@nickhayley]

Cultured? We read these books as kids like any other book that you read now. The fact that decades have passed doesn't make them any more amazing than before. Apparently anything that happened in the past was somehow more wholesome or cultured. Not true, friend.

[@blacknyellow962]

Man the things John does to provide entertainment for us! His willingness to put on a horrifying mask at risk of never being able to take it off ever again just for us makes me feel truly special.

[@AnomalousNormie]

"Surprisingly sad" describes a lot of horror once the scary stuff doesn't scare you anymore. What I wouldn't give to go back to just feeling the thrills and chills instead of overthinking it. I actually once cried at one of those true-horror stories because of my mental state; I had watched it hoping to get scared out of my funk. Sheesh, the bullies in The Ghost Next Door were so cringey, I almost died from it. But the Haunted Mask will FOREVER be one of my favorite Goosebump stories.

[@crizmeow8394]

Not even in the horror department, even movies like All dogs go to heaven and the land before time make me full on sob as an adult while as a kid they were way easier to handle

[@kellensweets]

John releasing a new goosebumps episode right when the other four have become a regular part of my "fall asleep to" videos, is proof that god exists

[@rynw.3867]

Spoiler warning for The Haunting of Bly Manor: . The series has one of the best portrayals of 'character has been dead the whole time' to me, and it's because it does it completely differently from other versions. The character who's dead can be seen by everyone, so she seems like just another normal part of the cast. But there are still signs of it - like she never eats or drinks anything. It's so good and the reveal CRUSHED ME.

[@crizmeow8394]

I love the way Mike Flanagan handles ghosts as lost in time slipping constantly reliving their horror and traveling though a timeline without being able to escape, he uses them that way in hill house and it’s terrifying an sad

[@oreoorva]

[@anheroichippo5669]

Here's an idea for another bingo card thing: that overused "castle thunder" stock sound effect. I wouldn't be surprised if it's in every single episode of the whole show.

[@AngeliqueStP]

IKR? It's like the 'Wilhelm Scream' ...but for Goosebumps.

[@JohnWolfe]

Oh, nice! Thanks, I never knew what the official name for that SFX was until now

[@halloweenhaunter9842]

The Haunted Mansion also used that sound effect​@@JohnWolfe

[@Fardawg]

The shadow should have been her family trying to contact her and tell her to move on and join them.

[@trentsalyers9116]

No I disagree, that wouldn't have been scary, I like the idea of an evil shadow spirit trying to kill the living, but if it turned out that the shadow had started the fire and killed her family and her, hoping to turn her into a shadow as well through manipulation, that would be scary.

[@Emily-xk2du]

I was thinking it could have been her repressed guilt over her and everyone dying and realizing it's "her fault" determined to keep her there forever and punish her by also killing Danny, but that may be a little Much lol. I do like the idea of there being no antagonist, the shadows are her family trying to reach out to her but she can't accept they're dead, and Danny has to be saved from a situation that was pure accident and no evil beings with a plan behind it.

[@tictacmothma]

Too obvious. The "already-dead" theme is a very old one, and the older books and shows did just that. I'm old, and most of the shows I watch are from the 1950s. This was a very common plot back then. The main character who doesn't know they are dead would spend the whole show running from an enemy only to find out in the end that if they'd trusted that enemy they would've found peace or whatever. Blah. Boring. Predictable. Same ol' same ol'.

[@Fardawg]

@@tictacmothma Too predictable for kids who might have had this book be their first exposure to the trope? Goosebumps is almost nothing but recycled old tropes repackaged for kids.

[@cousinted]

I'm kind of surprised that, for the conclusion of The Ghost Next Door", Stine didn't just do the obvious thing and make the shadow some kind of personification of Hannah's loneliness? The fact that Hannah feels isolated and alone is kind of a major component of the book, and her redemption comes from saving Danny's life so it seems like having the shadow be some kind of tulpa made from Hannah's negative ghost emotions who encourages her to let Danny die so he'll become a ghost and she won't be alone any more seems like the most direct way to tie the entire story together? It's certainly a less complicated and baffling explanation than making the Shadow Danny's proto-ghost who wants to swap places with him after he dies, or something?

When I was in grade school, I went to school as Dracula for Halloween. We would go to each class, showing off our costumes. Unfortunately, I recently saw the Haunted Mask episode, and I refused to put the Dracula mask on. I was walking wearing a cape and holding a mask in my hands because I was terrified after that episode.

I would consider the Haunted Mask book tagline a pun. So I included that bingo square on mine. Almost halfway through the video, my bingo card reset to a new one for some reason. With the new card, I didn't get a bingo for either one of the stories. It was still super fun to play, though. 🎉

The Ghost Next Door was always my fav! One of the only ones I still have on my shelf 👻

[@konstance13]

Same, I remember finding it to be so existential and "grown up" as a kid.

[@emilyweaver]

i think the concept of ghosts and hauntings just kind of naturally lends itself to the twist of “YOU were the ghost all along!”. I wouldn’t say that alone is enough to claim plagiarism. I was definitely seeing the through line between this and The Sixth Sense though. (btw somehow the plot of that movie was never spoiled for me before i finally saw it several years ago. Which is cool)

[@redwiltshire1816]

Yeah especially ghosts having the whole “can’t rest with unfinished business” thing which probably comes from even older stories like the lady of the lake which all just naturally tie back into self reflection and or improvements.

[@simonreilly213]

The Others is a way better representation of the “they were dead the whole time” than The Sixth Sense.

[@yopanda2]

[@JoriOtt]

the haunted mask book scared the crap out of me as a kid. i legit was scared of putting on scary looking halloween masks for so long after reading it. but the haunted mask and cry of the cat were my first goosebumps books and they've remained my favorites!

[@Memevze]

It was SUCH an irrational fear of mine. I think i was Spiderman for Halloween when I read it too, so the mask thing was a bit 😂

[@dowfreak7]

Haunted mask was easily the scariest thing I read for a long while, but it also sparked my interest a bit more, until I ended up with some King books and slowly got into some creepy pastas. The ending specifically was so weirdly haunting to me. It's not where the mask came from or how it works, it's just what it made her do and what the ending implied.

Had to pause the video after seeing the plot summary of 'Running Out of Time'! I remember reading it like 15 years ago. I actually tried to find it again a couple of years ago but all I could distinctly remember was the books cover (the updated version) and that this girl broke out of a fake village. Definitely going to reread for the nostalgia.

[@EPEquinox]

This was the best one yet! Also, you absolutely slayed in the dress(or cold shoulder top?), John! Loving the dreadsheet and goosebingo. Sadly, I didn't win at goosebingo lol I had a couple lines that were 4/5 during The Ghost Next Door, but no dice. The TV episode lore of the mysterious shop owner being so ugly and rotten inside that he creates these horrible masks by trying to hide from himself was really cool and I loved that narrative.
