Love the video. Hey also love your videos covering these paranormal grifters. Would like to see you do a show with Steve Cambian. Great guy that covers paranormal and ufo grifters that take advantage of people. You should check him out

[@ultracapacity7531]

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp was my first Goosebumps book I ever read. Which got me into the show an so on. All because I love werewolves. 😅

[@CircusFoxxo]

Nobody is buying that slop

[@encycl07pedia-]

You should check out "Faust" or "Bedazzled" if you enjoy the cursed wishes thing.

[@MYArt-oe2td]

I went on Amazon and then I found it and it was the same picture and price

[@BlaiseArath]

Honestly the reveal that you bought an Amazon listing for the first 12 books which arrived in mint condition from a seller who's disappeared is almost Goosebumps worthy itself. Are the books cursed?! who knows. Great Piano section too.

[@LaNoturna1115]

I believe those are a reprint pack. No red square near the scholastic logo on the spines

[@Zokes4q2]

Hey I have a KZbin hack for watching John. First get your pug dog and snuggle up with pug then push play on a John Wolfe video then enjoy

[@GabrielaEdwardsLujan]

​@@Zokes4q2 Instructions unclear, I now have a giant, red-gold behemoth squashing my lap and leaving behind a veritable cloud of floof behind and I can't concentrate on the video.

[@TransistorBased]

Could just be new old stock that got lost and found by a reseller

[@appealtoreason7584]

@@LaNoturna1115I’m pretty sure those reprints still would’ve been from the early 2000’s.

[@kcesca]

To be fair to Judith, not being able to solve 4+2 at the age of 12 is a laughable offence.

[@theoutkastazzain7765]

I never clicked so fast in my life. I live for these. You made me start watching the show and reading the books again. And now i treat these vids like a book club.

[@DadDrums1015]

These videos are a great hit of nostalgia!

I agree these are great very nostalgic

[@acrustykrab]

I used to have Goosebumps blanket that I was scared to sleep under bc I thought it would transfer Goosenightmares into my brain

[@konstance13]

Not the Goosenightmares 😂

[@mozchick2]

It would have, too. So you did the right thing.

[@liio415]

When I was a kid, I had a little cow figure on my windowsill. I put it away every night because I was convinced it would cause me to get abducted by aliens. You know because aliens LOVE abducting cows. Seemed perfectly logical to me… Wild times eh’?

[@SixInchChaka]

Was it scratchy and glowed in the dark?

[@RadioRudie]

That literally sounds like the plot of a Goosebumps story

[@Dusklane.cosplays]

Dude this episode killed me as a kid. I had my first ever piano lesson less than an hour after I watched this episode, eight year old me had the biggest mental breakdown. We get there and I straight up begged my instructor to let me keep my hands-

[@Hydplant]

Holy heck, John played keyboard on camera! Nice job man, sounded great. Also that episode freaked me out too as a kid.

[@jackiebee183]

So in the Fear Street books Stine is CONSTANTLY brutally killing off pets. It's an appalling amount of animal death. Since that series is for teens, I guess he could get away with it more than in Goosebumps. ANYWAY love these videos! Happy New Year!

[@chillcreep4926]

I have to wonder whether this reflects Stine's own feelings towards household pets (unlikely, but possible) or if it is just a simple and quick way to get the reader emotionally invested. "Save the Cat" theory and all.

[@RunicSigils]

​​​@@chillcreep4926It's almost certainly 100% the latter because it's just easier to kill off a pet in a story to give emotional value than it is to flesh out a human character to make you care, then kill them off. Most people understand animals are innocent, and therefore it immediately affects them without knowing the animal but you have to know the person to give a shit.

[@jackiebee183]

@chillcreep4926 I do think it's often an instance of a quick, easy way to have something horrific happen especially early on in a story. But then I agree with John that you have to wonder about him writing a protagonist who wants to see a cat flattened. I suppose the character in the book was a rather mean-spirited prankster, so maybe it just folds into that. In this book anyway.

[@SNP80]

@@jackiebee183I feel like older horror movies/books really leaned into the dead pet/animal trope to a fault. Maybe it was easiest to establish fear, but it seemed so unnecessary at times that I’m thankful more horror has moved away from it. Shows and movies with cats in particular used to play it for laughs when a cat would get injured and make a screeching sound too. I wonder if his writing was a reflection of the times more than anything else.

[@jackiebee183]

@SNP80 Totally agree. It was a much more prevalent trope in the past and I'm also glad it's less so now. Plus, with how quickly Stine was churning out books back then it was probably an easy go-to for him, same as a raspy voice, dream sequence, any of the bingo squares. It just aged particularly not well. You bring up an interesting point about the "comedic cat screech." Maybe by 90s standards that comment by the protagonist was supposed to be...funny? Like his dad hurting his foot with the kettle was hysterical apparently? Maybe I'm not fully grasping that without more context, but either way, my how the times have changed!

[@OverlordZero]

why does Clarissa have to be so cryptic about how the wishes work? Clarissa should just explain it all.

[@Spectra651]

This works so well, too, since the actress who played Clarissa later went on to star in Sabrina the Teenage Witch 😂

[@shiningmissingno.8788]

Whats to explain? She got exactly what she asked for...

[@bnso3692]

That'd make a very short book, no? :D

[@Violet_Vortex]

This made me laugh so hard. I was totally obsessed with that show as a kid.

[@mozchick2]

Clarissa is so messy.

[@This-Present-Darkness]

I also gave myself "legitmately scary moment" for Be Careful what you wish for because Judith in Sam's bedroom is scary as hell.

[@charlessmith299]

As a longtime shareholder I just want to express my dearest wishes this New Years to my fellow shareholders and John. Happy New Year

[@drewgoin8849]

[@writingcuriosity]

I love this series of yours as someone who never experianced goosbumps as a kid.

[@gagnose26]

So the witch is named Clarissa. Melissa Joan Hart played a character named Clarissa in Clarrisa Explains It All. Famously, she also played a witch named Sabrina...

[@YamiSphinx]

I love the Bingo aspect, I even went back and generated cards for the past episodes

[@jessmstephens]

Something I haven't noticed yet in the bingo card is a square for the smell of blood being described as "metallic." My friend and I used to read Goosebumps books in her room every weekend in the '90s. We always kept an eye out for that specific description.

[@ShiraCheshire]

To be fair, large amounts of blood does smell metallic. I'm not sure how else to describe it, other than maybe saying coppery or like pennies.

[@jessmstephens]

@@ShiraCheshire The fact that we holed up in her bedroom and read 10 books a weekend also didn't help.

[@robowaffler6674]

It’s interesting that witches were kind of taboo in kids media, because around that same time, they were all over young adult media. Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, Buffy…

[@Fuffydud]

And a lot of religious communities were VEHEMENTLY opposed to it being in YA media at the time!

[@CoolMagmar]

I was surprised not going to lie, in my country witches are more common in kids stuff, and knowing USA had Halloween I thought the stigma would be much lesser than here where great majority of religious groups are made of lunatics, like types of people called a chocolate company satanic for daring to make an ad saying it taste like magic...

[@appealtoreason7584]

Right but also those were targeted towards young adults and like the commenter above me stated, were definitely protested against by certain religious groups. Goosebumps was targeted towards _children_ gotta tread a little lighter in that regard.

[@Cymorill8]

We were just coming out of the Satanic Panic, maybe that had something to do with it?

[@candyqueenify]

The bingo card interaction to this is amazing!!!

[@AshChiCupcak]

I know these may be lesser known ones, but these covers are iconic to me. There's only a handful i remember really well over the years and these where both on that list for whatever reason. I believe i read those many many times so they just kind of stuck with me.

[@echo_sprite]

Thank goodness, I was just doomscrolling trying to find a good video to settle in with. Thanks for saving me, John! Edit: got my Bingo at 23:40!

[@falconinthedive]

I thought it wasn't going to happen. It took me until 42:26!

[@Riley-Radford]

when i was in elementary school around the early 2000s, people at school used to say that if you read an entire goosebumps book in one day, you'll wake up with scratches on your body and one time i accidentally read an entire book in one sitting (i think it was say cheese and die) and then got super worried until i woke up fine the next morning lmao also since i didnt have the full collection of books, i used to steal them from classrooms cause i was obsessed with the series and didnt know how else to get them cause my mom always said no every time i asked her for shit lol

[@ShadyRK9]

Tbh as a kid I always wondered off and got lost. So for some odd reason "A Night In Terror Tower" always scared me because I feared I'd one day get lost in a museum at night!

[@williamhanekom9882]

Honestly, same. That scene where the older sister takes a photo of the executioner in the episode freaked me out when I was young.

[@sierram9573]

40:04 I’M WHEEZING AT THIS OMG 😂😂

[@jacksonjack7838]

Those are probably just recent prints of Goosebumps. They have those huge sets at an Ollies Bargain Store near me for like $25 a set. ALSO WHILE I GOT YOU, PLEASE bring back Childhood Cringe Story Time!!!! I love listening to those videos of your stories you wrote. I think that series could definitely be revived with the new format of the channel and would fit in well with the videos you make now. Just have more cut aways to up close text like you do with these Goosebumps videos. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON!!

[@jacksonjack7838]

The cats name was Bonkers. You made your cats name Bonkers in one of your child hood books. Cool reference.

[@appealtoreason7584]

Maybe a full set of the newer artwork versions are available. But the majority of books with the original artwork haven’t been reprinted in a very long time. They recently released collectors tins that had reprints of the original artworks but so far only 15 have been reprinted and 5 more releasing in July. But not all of the first 12 books have been reprinted and released. So I think he’s incredibly lucky to have bought reprints from the early 2000’s that probably have never been opened.

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

@@appealtoreason7584 I recently picked up a copy of Why I'm Afraid of Bees and I'm pretty sure its a newer reprint despite the cover being the original art, it was 2nd hand so its hard to tell if it was in a reprint Tin I heard they did around the Movies releases or not, I did own some of the 2003 reprints as a kid 2nd hand along with 2nd hand copies of the Give Yourself series.

[@Lyle-xz6iu]

Really enjoying this series! The last minute tropes gave me a bingo. Cover tagline is a pun, giving yourself a peptalk, free space, outdated pop culture reference, just moved into a new house.

[@danicacornes]

Me too. Different squares though.

[@silhouettecrow]

I ABSOLUTELY love these revisting Goosebumps as an adult vids! As long as you keep making them, I'm gonna keep watching them!

[@newtrog.367]

Ive always loved unnerving piano lessons can be murder is, the set of a dark empty school with a giant basement full of disembodied hands playing piano nonstop creeps me out

[@ColdWarHero]

Gotta say John. Ever since you branched out your content from just horror games, I've been looking forward to your videos more and more. Really digging all these different ideas you've had content-wise, thanks for all the great and entertaining content!

[@BadNewsandBadBreaks]

Honestly the adult perspective hearing "we studied witches in social studies" and knowing that had to have been the Salem Witch Trials gives Judith a really chilling factor. If what she took away from all of that is that witches are *real* it means she thinks that's just how you deal with witches. A real fridge-horror capability of violence/things sounding goofy but actually being insane when you're not ALSO a child who doesn't understand consequences. Anyway, I got bingo this time! Last one I filled out all the corners and nothing in the middle, this time I got my B column at 42:23 :)

[@Rojiace]

32:16 Hey took two books to get bingo; Raspy Voice, No Sound Came Out, They Think They're A Riot, Antagonist Has No Clear Motive, and Cover Tagline Is A Pun. 42:18 Second Bingo these last minute ones really fill in the card. Just a dream, Bad bully dialogue, Pet jumpscare, New House, Outdated Pop Culture. So much fun doing these. It's interesting how endings will change from book to show. Also never caught that the ghost lady's hands were cut off in the show, I always thought she had it in a fist from being mad.

[@katcook2482]

Got bingo at 32:20! Had so much fun with this video and concept! Keep up the good work!

I think I was too young when I read Be Careful What You Wish For, because I remember just being really confused by the ending.

[@tyler8516]

I remember being freaked out by the ghost lady, stayed with me for so long. Also, didn't get BINGO until the 'it was a dream' at 42 minutes in. i was waiting so long for 'scary everyday object' and wanted so badly to say a piano was an everyday object.

[@konstance13]

5:05 "Killing off a 12yo girl on page 17 is pretty aggressive..." Hey, he did it on like page 2 of The Ghost Next Door lol.

[@ntp4003]

John showing off his piano skills lets gooo

[@AidenRKrone]

As a kid, I had an irrational fear that my parents would randomly force me to learn how to play an instrument, so the premise of this episode being a kid being forced to play piano with his disembodied hands terrified me, so much so that I never even read the book.

[@flamingrainbows9758]

Another square that should be added to bingo is when someone “utters a low moan” reacting to something scary, I swear he uses that phrasing in so many of the books, especially the monster-heavy ones.

[@amptown1]

Oh my goodness!!! I've been waiting my whole life for this episode. Or maybe just a month... Either way it's exciting.

[@thew0rm105]

I remember seeing the Twilight Zone episode about the Monkey Paw when I was really young and have always loved seeing it in media. I have a tattoo of a monkey's paw on my arm, it's fun when people know what it means, but it's also really cool getting to tell people what it represents and they usually can relate it to some movie or book they've seen once they understand it.

[@monkeymita]

Man, as a child (and to an extent now), ghost terrified me so bad. Like, i never seen the hands episode, but if I did, I'd have been so scared. Even that last look of her is really disturbing. I think that's the second thing that actually made me uncomfortable aside from the ending of Ghost Next Door :> Amazing summary vid as always! I love this series so much

[@elsiebee33]

Weirdly, ghost lady didn't freak me out as a kid, but Shreek being a robot dìd. The reveal is still burned into my brain.

[@treeb4053]

Best Goosebumps as an adult episode yet!! Piano section was 10/10

[@Dysmorphan]

Got a diagonal bingo at the start of the second book. "They think they're a riot", Cover Tagline is a pun, Free!, "No sound came out", and Only one friend.

[@rodolfofariasjr]

I got Bingo! at the 42 minute mark. The spaces I filled were "only one friend," "outdated pop culture reference," "just moved into a new house," "cut to commercial on scream," and "legitimately scary moment." That last one I filled out despite you not specifically mentioning to with the first story's ending where the girl's bully becomes obsessed with her and hides in her room. Stalkers are terrifying and the way she covered her mouth in the episode was chilling. Ironically, this is a scare that didn't frighten me as a kid watching the episode, but gave me goosebumps as an adult.

[@lich109]

That part where everyone turned into flies has lived in my head since I was a kid. I'm not sure why, but it creeped me out as a kid.

Man i gotta say, i love your videos. i feel safe in your channel. Even though its debunking, i don't even feel any negativity towards it, just having some fun. I feel like scary videos are fundamental for a child's development, but as an adult it's just fun seeing how it all works and how good they hold up.

[@beemoji]

the ghost in piano lessons can be murdered also terrified me as a child, i remember it being one of my least favorite eps cuz i found it too scary lol thanks for another episode in this series, i always enjoy them!

[@HighSierra1500]

As a kid, the thing that scared me the most about Piano Lessons Can Be Murder, was the ending when Andrew Toggle was told he must play for all eternity!!! The thought of doing something forever without end was terrifying! I wasn't freaked out by the ghost lady though. Having her fly out of the Shreek School to scare of Jerry's parents was hilarious! Other than that, the ghost lady looked like a drowning victim. Get yourself a ResusiAnnie, paint the face green, and you got your very own ghost lady!

[@DeceptiJeown]

This episode was probably one of the scariest things I saw as kid. Hearing Moonlight Sonata go off in your basement at night would make anyone spooked out

[@SeanSnyder1993]

Bingo! 32:18 with the raspy voice. Nailed it. God, I've never been so stoked about something in my life.

[@RB-vo4gi]

I know Goosebumps ranges wildly from “this book is good” to “this book is, at the very least, memorable (probably in its weirdness).” The only one I remember actually despising was the very last one in the original series, Monster Blood 4.

[@fgseden777]

he does it once again folks! Thank you John!! these videos hit the spot and i watch them more then once often. Thank you for a great year as well 🫶🏻

I remember Piano Lessons Can Be Murder pretty well at least the episode and the spooky Piano Ghost, but I don't remember any of Be Careful What You Wish For I know it's the Monkey Paw thing but it makes me want to watch Wishmaster because the Djinn warps the wishes in the most absurd ways that movie is the best

[@jejune33]

Piano lessons can be murder was always and always will be my favorite episode. It was the only episode that really stuck with me, and I often think about it now that I'm an adult (even before I found your series). I loved the book as a kid too!

It's a trip having you revist and review these classic Goosebumps stories. I haven't thought about them since they first came out.

[@imcherylynn]

The Piano Lessons one was the first one I ever read 😅 freaked me out bad

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

Piano Lessons is one of the most underrated books/episodes imo for all the reason you pointed out and more. The fact the parents are reasonably supportive, the creepiness of the school, Dr Shreek & the mystery of the Ghost in his house.. also the book is one of the few times to have a poc character in there. Just absolutely great unsung horror

[@dragonlordd7894]

You are literally the perfect amount of cheese to be doing this. Just enough to fit in with goosebumps. I mean that in the most respectful and appreciative way. I love this
