The funny thing is, the main character Todd Barstow is kind of a meme within the fandom because he’s so weird and unlikable in the book. So they kinda translated his character pretty well in that aspect to the episode.

I remember watching the movie as a kid despite not having read the book. I don't think I ever finished it, might do that tonight

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

@DankBeans It was a strange experience. At the end of the day I'm glad I went back and finished it but it was really weird and gross at times and I get why it's been mostly forgotten these days, plus my rental of it on Amazon Prime was really bugged out, at one point the audio was slowed down while the picture ran in real time, and that lasted for about 10 minutes. At the same time it does remind me of those days as a kid where we had dumb rules and did weird shit to pass time so I'll give it that

[@canaisyoung3601]

Fun fact: R.L. Stine actually hated "Go Eat Worms". No one knows why. Was it not scary enough for his taste? Was the main character too unlikable? Did he feel he could have done more with it?

[@mongofreppo7979]

To be honest, this was one of the MOST memorable episodes to me. Goosebumps rarely scared me the way Are You Afraid of the Dark did, but for some reason the giant worms in this episode really got to me as a kid! Something about their being so ancient, and being smart, and having giant ones we don't know about... I think it was tapping into the same type of horror I'd experience reading Lovecraft later on in life.

[@bunkerzero]

In the book: Danny begins a butterfly collection when he wakes up in the middle of the night he sees a giant butterfly with a giant needle in his room. This was a similar ending to a story in "tales to tell at the midnight hour." The TV ending to this episode is similar to an episode of "tales from the crypt keeper "

That ending voiceover with the kid and the fish feels like a last minute add-in.

[@lancerguy3667]

This one of the few books I actually read and it's kinda... chilling... I don't remember much but if I remember it actually goes into Todd's slow decent into madness better? It's a bit fuzzy but it doesn't just go from small worm to giant killer worm. Also the worms dont... plot openly? The whole ending was changed too as Todd goes from worms to butterflies, doing those butterfly pinups. This leads to a Giant Butterfly attacking him with a pin I think which makes sense that they wouldn't show that as like... that would give some very crucifixion vibes

[@4ever9zxyme]

Fun fact : In the haunted mask episode , the actress who plays Carly Beth, actually ate a real worm ( well I imagine took a bite of one then spit it out but still ew ) it was her idea to use a real worm when eating the sandwich so she could deliver a more realistic reaction

[@eldrichnemo9312]

What a confusing episode. When I saw the "you'll be sorry" message I thought briefly the younger sister and her friend were trying to beat Todd at his own prank game and that the giant worm experience was his own mind playing tricks on him, like he tripped on a root network and in the dark, damp earth imagined a huge worm. I'm also still trying to figure out how the fish ending ties in. Why would the fish care about treating him like a worm? Was the giant worm fishing that day? Why would worms care about minnows, a gesture of prey solidarity? Is Danny amused because he bribed the fish to prank Todd in effort to stop him for good? The poor stunt worms in this episode went through a lot it seems. I mean yeah, "just worms," but growing up my understanding of worms was based on Earthworm in James and the Giant Peach (the book, not any of the films) and my own observation of worms dying on hot sidewalks, leading to learning to pluck them up and get them into the grass from an early age if I encountered them soon enough. Although I learned today the salt on human skin will dehydrate a worm, so I better make future attempts quick!

[@meko98743]

This video just unlocked a core memory of a TV show which traumatized me as a kid. It was like Goosebumps, and one episode had a plot where an evil lunch lady, and the entire school loved her food. But the secret was it was full of bugs. What really creeped me out was that people didn't just enjoy the food, but they were addicted to it. By the end of the episode, they were fighting over the bug-filled food. The notion that you could unknowingly be eating maggots and insects is disturbing enough (even if it's actually true to some degree), but the idea that you'd be addicted to it is downright insane. I legitimately don't understand how that episode was allowed, and I'm glad that I forgot what the show was even called.

You know, a while back, I figured out why most tv movies or shows based on Stephen King's work, generally miss the mark. The reason is simple; what works on the page, doesn't work on the screen. And this episode suffers the same issue. What I mean is, if you were to read about worms crawling all over Todd's face or taking him down to an underground cave, using detailed words on a page, it might seem effective, because a clever use of vocabulary and wording, might spark the reader's imagination way more than a picture on a screen ever could. But shoot that scene, and it loses all sense of tension. And a lot of Stephen King's work, functions in the same way; much like this episode. It's a case of "the medium not working out for the premise". Or maybe you'll think I'm wrong. I may very well be.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

I agree it's not really scary in the traditional sense, but what was scary were the possibilities. Todd had cut these worms in half, frozen them, subjected them to heat etc I was expecting that was what was going to happen when he fell down that pit, before the mack daddy of worms showed up. And even then, what was its end goal? Was it trying to eat him? Incapacitate Todd so his wormy children could enact their revenge experiments ala Saw? And since the worm was scared away, what does he do when he's not attacking children? And Todd clearly didn't learn his lesson and you know what a lot of serial killers have in common.... animal torture in their childhood. Maybe eventually he and the worms worked out their differences and Todd starting enacting revenge on bait shop owners! Possibilities. Scary stuff.

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

"Worms on the brain!" I've noticed recently that the episode has been listed as one of the worst and I don't get it at all to be hon est. I think as far as the show goes, this is a good one. Not great but for their standards, it works. The mom is iconic. Now, this is mostly due to the book. The book itself was bad, even R.L. Stine had admitted as much. Seriously, he loves to bash on it. It was a loose mess with no real story and a lot of pointless and aimless scenes. Te episodes however,, really tried to fix it. They tightened it up by removing a lot of the filler and making it flow better as a story. Todd's whole thing of being an asshole victim is more clear here, they added the scene of his friendship with Danny being broke up to add some slightly deeper stakes to it all. The ending of a book involved a butterfly with a pin about to stab him. The episode's ending is kinda funnier in practice though. According to writer Rick Drew, Todd was meant to die a the end there but the network didn't want that so they forced to put in that forced ADR. This bit isn't in the original script or the Goosebumps Presents book so that checks out. The new ending is more ambiguous and weird. Worms don't gross me out so neither version was effective in that way but there's a bit more of that in the episode and in the least the story is tighter so it works on that front. It's not the deepest but the revenge angle gives it more of a purpose than the book had. The episode hasn't been historically seen as the worst so I feel like the recent reception is just the book rubbing off on it, since the book is seen that way, the episode has to be viewed like that too. I respect the clear effort Rick Drew made here so I don't wanna belittle that, especially compared to the book with how Stine admits it was a more rushed/low effort one. So yeah there's that, I feel Awesome Ants was a better animal revenge type story.

Yes! I’m always stoked for more goosebumps content.

[@Anthintendo]

I wonder what the standards are practices were for handling worms in the 90s. I know they are just worms, but worms aren’t bad at all, and I hope they weren’t mistreated.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

I know! Those worms that were tossed in the lake are definitely deseased.

[@Dragonatrix]

@@lazyhomebody1356 Gonna go out on a limb here and say that scene didn't involve real worms. Just a hunch.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

@@Dragonatrix It didn't look like a gummy worm! I could totally see the director telling a child actor, Eat that worm or you'll never work in this town again

[@snakewich]

Your humor about the worms working out and dancing made this episode a lot better. Thank you.

[@LittleBigHamm]

Awesome! A new PushingUpRoses video! Perfect to watch while I have a nice lunch.

[@RemyXAnarchy]

I always love when one of your videos finds its way to me, I hope you are doing well

[@erickrivera96]

Yessss!! I absolutely love the goose bumps and are you afraid of the dark retrospectives! Please keep them up just in time for Halloween!

[@SoulCastleFilms]

Woo, new That Time on Goosebumps episode! Thanks, Roses!

[@paigeflum8296]

Roses as a fellow writer I love your work and I love your style of film critique with humor. I was hoping you would do more Are you afraid of the dark episodes. Maybe a video about Dr. Vinks episodes? Also please consider doing the goosebumps episode the ghost next door parts 1 and 2 it’s one of my favorites. Also the haunted mask 2 parts 1 and 2 is the less than exceptional sequel to the best goosebumps episode. Just fyi. Sorry this is a lot I have just been waiting for a new video to suggest them. Stay Spooky!

Apparently R.L. Stine had said Go Eat Worms! was his least favourite book

[@josereyes7465]

I don't always leave a comment but damn, you have one of my favorite channels ever. Hugs from Paraguay.

[@theamericanwordsmith2670]

A Roses video always makes my day! Hooray for more Goosebumps!

[@gaelangaudette9576]

Stephen King for children is probably the best description of R.L. Stein I've ever heard.

[@Cocoanutty0]

Oh my gosh another Pushing Up Roses tv show review episode! I’m so happy now!

[@GnyawiRunasimi]

The kid who played the role of Todd is Noah Shebib. He went on to become a music producer who came up with Drake, he's better known as 40.

[@MissMystery1412]

You screaming at the worm pillow has made my week lmaoooo

[@zalf6810]

The best content creator in youtube! Thank you for your hard efforts and passion of entertainment

[@GrimmHooke]

I have every single one of the Clue books, and I'm so delighted someone else has heard of them! They were my favorites as a kid!

[@velocity1852]

Rose, I think you should cover the Doll episode of the haunting hour, it scared the hell out of me as a kid on the Hub. I had a fear of Annabel and the mirror shot in that episode freaked me out really bad.

[@Reet69]

Silly KZbin not pushing this , thanks for posting I missed this !

[@kevinsmusic]

Really impressed with the perfectly timed ad break 👌🏽

[@SirXer]

I really loved your commentary on this one, you're so witty! This was the only Goosebumps book I didn't read when I was younger, but watched the episode a few times even though it grossed me out.

[@whovian809]

Another GREAT video, Roses! Growing up, “The Headless Ghost” scared the LIVING CRAP out of me! I think it took three times for me to finally see the ending! 🤣 You should review it!

[@DAOW17]

Yay! More Roses with spooky videos! I’m binging your horror stuff to prep for Halloween! Currently on are you afraid of the dark episodes

[@silverscreemer]

It's so nice to still see you active :)
