Idk if someone has already mentioned it, but the fact that lefty was the only left handed person in the family, and "righty" wasn't dragged back into the mirror when it shattered- would it be possible that Max's brother had found the mirror before and had already swapped places and Lefty was the original mirror doppleganger?

I think it's pretty interesting how grounded Curse of the Mummy's Tomb was despite its unusual setting; until Act 3, there was nothing overtly supernatural going on. The villain was just a regular human who happened to be a crazy serial killer, which I think makes him one of the scariest Goosebumps villains by default; he was literally going to murder these kids. Also, I kinda love how Slappy gets introduced very ominously, but then isn't the focus of the story; instead, the villain is another living dummy who the dad just happens to find in a pawn shop. It's really funny, actually, how much he got shafted until the Twist ending. I think Mr. Stine had the idea for a living Dummy named Slappy but wasn't sure how the story would resonate with kids, so he made Mr. Wood as like a test run so if the book was successful, he didn't need to explain how Slappy survived a literal steamroller.

Much like the Stephen King drinking game, you could also do the same of R.L. Stine's stories. Take a drink every time; + A character tries to scream but can't make a sound + Shouts "noooooo" + The evil wants to make the main character their slave + The evil wants to trap the characters "forever" + Implied the main character dies at the end + Main character/close friend/relative is chubby There's probably more that I don't remember (feel free to add them), but you're guaranteed to drink to at least 3 of these per story.

My two guesses were either 1. Somehow being the one to actually destroy the mirror gave Mirror Lefty some kind of immunity from being pulled back in or 2.

The substance-seeking allegory for Let's Get Invisible was such interesting commentary. It brings to mind descriptions of getting super high for the first time, or perhaps a first experience trying substances such as psychedelics, ketamine, or benzos. The book describes feeling "floaty," almost detached or dissociated from one's body, 'tingly,' dulled senses at times, vs at times feeling euphoric and almost dreamlike (and the mirror world being described as an 'undulating, rolling world of twisting lights and colors) ... after which they keep chasing that feeling despite being somewhat aware of its risks, or potential consequences of "overdoing" it, etc.

If you’re really looking for a plot twist, may I suggest author Tim Dale’s ‘My Room is A Zoo of Ghosts’ I personally still haven’t recovered from that shocking reveal with the plane.

I'd love to you see you read one of those Goosebumps books where you can make decisions that alter the story. Some of them are pretty short.

I think by Max asking his parents if they noticed anything when they grew up there, they were trying to imply that the parents grew up together and thus both spent time in the house as kids. But they didn't go into enough detail about it which makes the whole conversation seem weird.

I'm so ready. This series makes great use of John's snark.

34:15 just thinking about John slowly moving a light over the book for this spooky effect. 10/10

"Let's Get Invisible" was one of my favorites. Reading it as a little kid, it can be one of the slower books in the series, but as an adult I loved it. It had a similar eeriness and spooky almost mystical vibe to stories like Coraline, and I appreciated how the intrigue gradually intensified.

The curse of the mummy’s tomb was always my favourite!

Yay! This is one of my faves of your recent series. Makes me want to reread my old Goosebumps and Fear Street books.

This is among my favorite video series that you have made. I was never super into horror when it comes to movies, books, or games but I did read my fair share of goosebumps novels as a kid. Not really anything I could see myself reading nowadays, but it's really fun watching you go back and review these.
