My Review Of The New Goosebumps TV Series (WTF)

[@theboundless05]

Im really enjoying the show. Im definetely not catching a Goosebumps tone with this, but I'm reaalllllyyyy enjoying this darker, more adult take on it. I just wish we got more Goosebumps than teen drama.

[@fortnitedan3615]

I like the haunting hour better imo

[@windandcloudshadow158]

It has it's pros and cons.

[@troin3925]

@@fortnitedan3615It reminds me of that and the Scary Stories to Tell in The Dark movie which I also loved. I’m glad it’s not like the movie and they tried to be scary, and surprisingly a bit more graphic. While I don’t think it tops The Haunting Hour: The Series (I’m still in the middle of the third episode), it’s still a close second.

[@kicknowledgesmith8608]

I'ma be honest they should have done an anthology series like the original show, like I loved the original series and there is so many stories that hasn't fully reached it's peak potential or not even written at all.

[@nintenvlogz]

@@fortnitedan3615anybody can say that doesn’t mean you can direct a whole production

[@troin3925]

I wish it was an anthology too but the show so far is better than I thought (at least it’s not like the movie which focused purely on the comedy and it makes more sense for the characters to be teenagers in this compared to the movie with it being reflected by its TV-14 rating).

[@EeliusAstaroth]

The other thing good about anthology series is it gives more people a chance to act and perform. Get themselves out there to land better opportunities. This eliminates that completely, and I think there are way too many people wanting to get into the business for a company like Disney to deny them. Ryan Gosling had a good start in Are You Afraid of the Dark, and a few other notable actors/resses. You also manage to keep the budget more of a set base over having to inflate for specific people over time to compensate for their worth, and that can wreak havoc on a budget that's feeding into other parts such as filming, graphics, props, etc.

[@fortnitedan3615]

@nintenvlogz I would change the way movies are made, though I'm not a professional lol

[@Ghostly2z]

I think it's pretty good, but I agreed with some of the comments about it not being too goosebumps like

Besides the design i actually loved the haunted mask episode lots of references to the original story

[@Blacknight6577]

Just finished watching the first 5 episodes released and it wasn’t bad honestly. I never seen the trailer and I’m glad cus this trailer spoiled the plot and there would have been surprises I would have saw coming. I’m eager to see more episodes. I’ll say that this is different from the original where that was more for kids and told solo stories and this is one story tied with multiple Goosebump stories. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad idea but it’s different and definitely for teens and older. Although this can be a hit or a miss depending who u are and what u expected out of this. I been a fan of Goosebumps as I grew up with it back in 90s and early 00s. Watching this was for sure something I didn’t expect, but I did accept what they were doing with it and it’s decent.

[@finnthehuman7803]

I just finished watching all current 5 episodes... And so far as a Goosebumps reader since the 90's, i am liking the series. It's not perfect yes, but it was acceptable.. Can't wait for Slappy to show up and of course my all time favorite, Welcome to Horror Land... 🥰

[@PaulCastles]

I surprisingly enjoyed the first five episodes. Watched the first one and got hooked and binged them. I dig the mature feel. Also if ppl miss the old school Goosebumps feel, Justin Long’s character is that embodiment which makes it a good mix overall.

[@resiefan3258]

I've read all the books and seen all the original episodes from the original series. This series is stupid as it disrespects the writer of the books and original tv series. Honestly I think this new series was made simply to help some young actors get a foot hold in the industry rather than to try to make a genuine effort to do a respectful reboot of the original series.

[@budthechud9795]

Disney - lets remake Goosebumps but turn it into a gay fest so everyone will love it. But the reality is countless more Disney+ accounts will be cancelled on the strength of this crap and the imbeciles at Disney still won't learn a damn thing about what the consumer wants from them.

This show is lame... It's a teen drama. The characters are unlikable and the dialogue is so incredibly fluffed. It takes forever for anything of mention to happen. Just because your atmosphere and color palette is dull and dreary and they say swear words doesn't mean it's adult.

Lifelong goosebumps lover here, and so glad to see so many fellow extreme lovers of goosebumps here! There is nothing more nostalgic to me than goosebumps. The books, the covers, the movies, the commercials, R.L. Stines personal intros and of course the theme song and video.. We all know the goosebumps theme song and video is peak nostalgia. I still love and can really appreciate goosebumps books today at age 28. R.L. Stine will always be top 3 in my favorite authors. Anyways I had no idea this new goosebumps show was coming out until I saw it randomly this week. So last night I watched it and I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed them so far. It was so cool to tap into that nostalgia in a new way, especially with the new shows intro and eerie light piano music which they did a fantastic job with. So these have been awesome so far I ended up binge watching all 5 episodes last night because I couldn't stop. And now I'm excitingly waiting for the remaining 5 episodes to come out.. Night of the living dummy part 1 and 2 and ending with welcome to horrorland.. wow we're in for a treat. I'll leave the episodes and their release dates underneath. If anyone else wants to share some goosebumps love with me here please do, I'm always looking for people I can nerd out and appreciate goosebumps with. Episode 6, “Night of the Living Dummy” - October 20 Episode 7, “Give Yourself Goosebumps” - October 27 Episode 8, “You Can’t Scare Me” - November 3 Episode 9, “Night of the Living Dummy Part 2” - November 10 Episode 10, “Welcome to Horrorland” - November 17

I’m like 99% the reason production companies don’t make anthologies anymore is because it’s harder (takes more effort) to write individual self contained stories.

[@charliejackson6535]

[@tallerwarrior1256]

I just don’t understand why they have to make everything so mature and edgy. The fun thing about the goosebumps books were that they were about little kids dealing with wacky to very scary things. If they had made the show about a group of very young kids the stakes would’ve been so much higher. I could give less of a crap about a group of very old highschool students because there’s no real threat to them that’s as bad as the stuff that they have to prepare for in real life. Whoever came up with this idea and whoever wrote the series needs to get left out of the WGA strike deal

[@drudle]

The fun thing FOR YOU was the whacky and silliness. But this show is legit made for tweens. You know, the same kids who have been playing mature horror games for years, watching LPs on KZbin, and don't want to be embarrassed for watching a baby show for babies. You aren't their demographic; middle schoolers are. And lemme tell you, if there's nothing middle schoolers love more it's pretending that they're so adult by watching supposed edgy and mature things. And this absolutely satisfies their craving. Giving kids a tween version of American Horror Story grittiness is a total win for whoever is writing this.

Just like with the Jack Black movies, I'm actually glad Goosebumps went this direction. The original television series was as perfect of adaptations as you could get. Almost line-for-line recreations of the stories in the books with the cheesy campiness that matched the covers while still having a freakiness to them that could legitimately scare. The movies and this series pays great tribute to the books and brings the creatures/stories in them to life without rehashing what we already got. And while I agree that they miss the mark on the "goosebumps" aspect a little (the reboot misses it a lot when it focuses on the teen drama bs), they are still enjoyable as new adaptations of the original material.

My main issue with the first episode is it takes half the runtime to set up the other episodes. So it's a bit weaker on dealing with the horror artifact.

And it pains me to say that since Cuckoo is one of my favorite of the books, with Worms being least favorite.

[@Leftyproductionss]

@@drudle Guess your not wrong, but it could have been the old show modernized, like how he said the say cheese and die camera could have been a normal phone.

The haunted mask episode I wish they use the original haunted mass design honestly

[@troin3925]

The fact that the mask changed to look more like the book or cover made it worth it for me.

[@kenobi1416]

I agree I like episode 1 and episode 2 was ok I do like Justin Long whenever he comes on I can't wait to c Slappy I remember reading the Goosebumps books when I was little I collected mostly every single book & I have watched the anthology series b4

[@10xr34]

The show feels more like the RL a haunting hour . Halloween was definitely watered down in the episode haunted mask

[@themeking5509]

Chris believe it or not, me and my friends, their siblings, even at their birthday parties. We’d all watch the goosebumps show, and we’re from the 2000’s. It ages like wine. 🍷👌🏼

[@chrisollirum6943]

Don't even feel like goosebumps. Yeah, it's more adult, but where's the deaths like the old goosebumps.

[@Evri500]

The new intro made by Fiverr 😂 budget was $5

[@ImCarpet]

They played a Smashing Pumpkins song in the 5th episode. That was pretty cool.

[@Starshollowconnecticut]

I’m twelve and I watch the 90s goosebumps series episodes on Netflix religiously

[@resiefan3258]

Good for you kid well done 👍👍👍👍 👏👏👏👏👏

[@alyxwold4974]

This is a show where my opinion keeps flip-flopping On one hand, the show when it remembers it's a horror series it does the horror really good, the scene what the football guy sees the camera in his locker, when the worm guy purposely breaks his hands and later when we see the worms crawling around under his skin, I thought those scenes were really great. On the other hand though, as someone who grew up reading the book religiously, I hate how little every item plays into the plot or has nothing to do with it's book counterpart. The biggest offender in that in my opinion was the Cuckoo Clock of Doom, I feel like that's what they should've used to learn the backstory of Biddle's murder. Instead they used it for a clone story which I feel like could've been better suited for something like Monster Blood Overall I don't hate it but I think it frustrates me enough to the point where I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone, I might recommend scenes on KZbin, but never the full series itself

[@troin3925]

It reminds me of Let’s Get Invisible with the evil clones with another version of Monster Blood.

Not feeling this new GB, man. OG is FAR SUPERIOR. 🎃♥️🇵🇭

[@alifepug127]

9:53 me being one of the modern day kids who actually watches the old goosebumps show on netflix 🥲

[@drudle]

I'm loving the show so far. It's got real Horrorland vibes - anthology lead in to the connected story, all culminating with characters meeting up to confrontation with a collection of enemies? Hell yes. Give me all of it. The tone and set up is definitely vibing with more of a "kid's American Horror Story" or something similar. They're really trying to push it as less "10 year old saying dorkwad" and more "sinister town with pseudo-murderous parents" etc etc. To be honest, I think they're trying to align it with the feel of the Fear Street Netflix show, just for tweens. It'd make sense for both to be similar in narrative styles and I'm here for it. I don't need a zany ending of alien snot and the kid looking up into the camera going, "AHHHHH".

[@TheRaziel07]

Miles mckenna a girl became a boy to act like a gay boy lol wtf

[@drudle]

He's a trans man who plays a gay character. I'm confused how this is confusing for you.

[@TheRaziel07]

@@drudle women who trans to become men are lesbians so they like women Women became men to love men?why became a man in the 1st place Its not confusing you because maybe you have an identity disorder and its normal to you to see these messed up minds

[@jasonbourne4670]

​@@drudleits not confusing its disgusting.

@drudle everything about it is disgusting I don't have to go into detail, you know what I mean.

[@tianfromthebrickworld8487]

This is one of the worst Tv shows, disgusting propaganda La Virgen de Guadalupe está muy desilusionada con la humanidad

[@jessejive117]

I think the show is a little edgy for like 13 year olds and 12 year olds, but overall appropriate for them and I think much younger than that. They probably wouldn’t get the inappropriate jokes. I mean some jokes the animated movies in PG musicals have are very adored, but kids don’t typically get it in the adults do. I don’t know what the guys mad about because it literally tells you it’s TV-14 I think when it starts which usually means rated R for TV…

[@onesaucynougat7471]

Todays 13 and 12 year olds are already desensitized to a lot of stuff, they probably say way more crude and out of pocket things than the show can get away with. Sixth graders sometimes today say some of the most out of pocket stuff imaginable lmao.

[@overratedclock]

So far I like how the show is going like the scene where the James clones were chasing them felt so much like how the books and og show felt

[@betsygirl19]

The song is the best and the dog!!!!

[@AshePBlack]

Honestly I wish they did it anthology style, darker is fine although I wish it had certain feels. As a goosebumps and horror fan I truly wish things to stay in own genre because if I wanted slasher gore I can just watch fear Street and fear Street is a nod to fear Street and it took collective enemies from books. I wish they would give us more fear Street even if was anthology style. And fear Street is already more mature goosebumps. Goosebumps had scary concepts but rl stein wrote it for kids. Fear Street was supposed to be grown up goosebumps. My explanation for likeking stuff in own genre is this... Goosebumps while tamer is still horror. Again if I want more horror I could just watch r rated movies or fear street

[@MaceDeMarco2010]

Honestly, I liked it. Just got done watching all 10 episodes and I thought it was good! The last two episodes felt a bit unnecessary, and I think Disney knew this considering the reason they happen. But I still thought they were good. 6/10.

[@charlessampaio6240]

I just finished the first 5 episode. I like the more mature tone. The old show was good but watching as an adult it very low budget and childish. Which yes it was target for kids. I want to know what happens after the ending of episode 5. I want to know how the ghost kid got all the other stuff like the mask and clock

[@coolface5635]

This reboot is pretty interesting the soundtrack is definitely 🔥 such a good selection of Gen X Millennial and Gen Z Music

[@joshuabrecheisen5634]

I was pleasantly surprised. I like two of the characters. The rest are fine, I guess. The story is intriguing.

[@MichaelSmaroff]

This’ll probably be like the stranger things for Disney Plus, each season is prolly just gonna get even better than before

[@KillerKnightChannel]

the Gooesbumps lore be crazy

[@garbo8962]

I think this show is such a good show I can't wait for season 2

[@Alpha_Hunter9]

If there is a season 2 I would love to see a twist to a night in terror tower

[@ColesLab]

I wasn’t sure about it at first but after episode 5 I think it’s actually kinda cool how everything is intertwined

[@khizeryusufzai2185]

Waiting for a good opportunity to watch it

[@pumkineater6945]

Instead of making it one main squad, they should have just done it different characters each episode, and it kind of just feels like a movie cut into 40 min episodes

[@Headshooter309]

I really liked the first 5 episodes and just want more of it and seeing how they make it fit together is a great idea makes it different from the original series
