But, why couldn't miss Carmen just switch the two of them so that the bee went back into her proper body and Gary went into the body he was trying to get into in the first place

[@OneCentPie]

Never realized how much childhood neglect and abuse is a theme in RL Stine's work damn!!

[@emotionalkryptonite1161]

Shouldn't she be able to just.....lure Dirk's body with the bee in it to the machine and at least switch Gary into Dirk's body and let the bee be a bee again?

[@KaishaLouise]

Yeah like that's at least a temporary solution to keep the kid safe. Surely that makes sense to arrange immediately?

[@regzlots]

as a fellow horror girlie, goosebumps was also my introduction to horror and they never scared me until the cry of the cat tv episode. that TRAUMATIZED ME

[@Foxy-ve1oh]

I don't remember much about that episode, I only remember a girl that kept running over the same cat with her bike

[@lulaloopsey]

for me it was the entirety of the haunting hour series 😭😭 truly the best children’s horror series imo

[@regzlots]

@@lulaloopsey well now i gotta rewatch all RL stine media bc ur last couple videos reawakened my hyper fixation lowkey HAAHAHAH

[@kumaxhime]

Unfortunately I was severely bullied like Gary, though at least I was only beaten up once. But I was harassed every day in junior high, had things stolen from me, been pushed around, and honestly felt too scared and downtrodden to even speak. Being autistic (and undiagnosed) sure didn't help. All this to say, these experiences really do fuck you up. I'm 27 now and waaaay past it, but the "why am I like this" sentiment during crucial developmental years are shown to lead to chronic anxiety and depression into adulthood. While the book is obviously fiction, children can and DO act cruely toward classmates just for the hell of it. And while I do have a good family, families like the one in the book do exist as well.

[@Mooms]

I remember the episode version of “Say Cheese and Die Again!” scaring me, specifically the ending where Greg’s brother rushes to make the negatives of the picture as Shari starts dying and Greg nearly explodes (cause the evil camera’s picture showed Greg as being extremely overweight and Shari extremely thin)

i'm saying! i saw as a kid and was so scared

[@lacroixer]

holy shit it’s lowkey relieving to know someone else had a similar experience to me, i was diagnosed with autism very young but didn’t know until i was 18. it’s so weird having the undiagnosed experience when i could’ve known all along. thanks for sharing ur experience and for the awesome vid as usual 🐝

[@lulaloopsey]

i’m glad my experience was validating to you! & 100% agree it’s so weird i almost feel guilty relating when getting diagnosed early is such a privilege but i felt that same undiagnosed confusion when nobody told me

[@commentor847]

Why I’m Afraid Of Bees is actually one of my favorite books in the series! I remember seeing the cover of it on a 6th grader’s desk when I was in kindergarten, wondering what kind of tale it possibly held. It was one of my earliest memories of Goosebumps.

[@Renteka-Bond]

As legitimately gutwrenching as the plot is, I can't help but question why the idea of just going on Dirks body presumably isn't brought up. It takes me out of it a bit that that isn't brought up since it feels like bad writing for the sake of drama.

[@lulaloopsey]

i wish it was talked about more what was happening in his body his parents must’ve been so concerned??? 😭

[@Renteka-Bond]

​@@lulaloopsey Right? You said the book said he was behaving weirdly, twitchy and incomprehensible and wasn't really eating properly either. No one in his life was even remotely concerned? The adults in the Bee verse are traaaaash.

[@ToonLink1210]

My favorite Goosebumps book was always "Be Careful What You Wish For". The end of it CRUSHED ME!!! I think about it all the time!!

[@Thereaperofcrows]

I read this book as a kid and I hated Dirk and honestly I would've done what Gary did. I would've stung him It's nice seeing someone finally make a video on it because it felt like Goosebumps fans either ignored it or didn't read it :/ It's pretty good! Although that scene where Gary describes death lives rent free in my head... I'd highly recommend Attack of the Jack-o-Lanterns! It's pretty awesome and it's a Halloween classic in my *books*

[@viviatwilight]

PLEASE DO CALLING ALL CREEPS THAT ENDING HAS LIVED RENT FREE FOREVER OMFG

[@Foxy-ve1oh]

Oh my God yes I loved that ending!

[@Astrovite]

I developed a fear of bees when I was a kid on the playground. These other kids all got together and stung me with a dead bee. I was too nice to fight back but I really wish I had bc those kids were terrible.

[@probablynargles]

The 90s were all about scary stuff for kids 🤣 I am a scaredy cat and I attribute it to all of the goosebumps, are you afraid of the dark, and tales from the crypt lmao. Also, those scary books with like the story about the girl who has a ribbon around her neck (she takes it off and her head falls off). Also ... That DCOM "Don't Look Under the Bed" scarred me for life. I'm 34 and you'll never catch me sleeping without a blanket covering me, even in the summer 🤣🤣😣

[@lulaloopsey]

even though i’m not a 90s kid during the peak of my goosebumps/haunting hour tv show obsession i got recommended “why i’m afraid of the dark” on youtube & binged various episodes 😭😭 this comment just reminded me of it!!

As another late diagnosed autistic I've really gotta thank you for your transparency with your experience! it is so nice to hear a youtuber talk about it and to open up about parts that I feel don't get talked about a lot :)

[@pixlpuk3]

Found your channel through the sing a ma jigs video while having a huge nostalgia kick and Im really loving your content!

[@Saintnick90]

Oh man, I was super into Goosebumps as a kid. They were the first chapter books I really got into, and I probably owned about 20 of them -- including this book. Since they were really short, that made them not only easy to read but also easy to re-read, which means they've stuck in my memory a lot more than other books I read as a kid. I wouldn't say Why I'm Afraid of Bees was one of my favorites, but there are a lot of scenes that stuck with me. (Plus, this was how I learned that bees die when they lose their stingers.) One thing that stood out for me was when Dirk-as-Gary asked Gary's mom if he could have some taco chips, and I thought those sounded so good as a kid. Turns out, he was probably just referring to plain tortilla chips (although it could have been Doritos. Who knows? When was the last time you heard someone use the phrase "taco chips"?) Also, this may be controversial, but I don't think you're missing much by not having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I like peanut butter and I even like grape-flavored stuff, but the combination of the two is a bit messy and not very filling. I prefer sliced tomatoes and olive oil on toast.

[@elaynadiedinside]

I'm literally an adult now and I still live with PTSD of that one time a bee stung me when I was I was like 7. Everytime I see a bee I mentally freak the fuck out but I have to stay calm so that history doesn't repeat itself. But it's so unfair the little bitchass bug get's to invade my personally space and get all up in my business and I'm not even allowed to swat it away or else they get all defensive

[@Lee-cn4df]

Ive never heard of this Goosebumps book til now but it sounds awesome

[@cairnunnos4185]

If I remember correctly, a lot of the Goosebumps books were pretty comedic so that might have been intentional here. I don't think I ever read this one either, but I might have to go back and read it now. I appreciate the pretty unambiguously happy ending in this one since I remember a lot of these books having bittersweet or rugpull scary endings, hahaha

[@misspinkpunkykat]

28:38 My dad knew a guy who made a similar type candy to what I think you're describing. I had no idea they were intended to be spread, I though you were supposed to eat them straight out of the tube. I mostly saw them for sale in hardware stores, auto part stores, and farm animal supply stores.

[@katiediane7082]

My favorite is Phantom of the Auditorium and Horrorland, the ideas were so different and unique. I read the books yearly now!

[@protodroidstuff]

Honestly subbed during the late diagnosis autism segment, incredibly relatable. I meant to sub earlier by the way, I've watched your content for a minute now but I'm very bad at actually clicking the sub button! Apologies! Anyway, I feel very similarly. Always knew I was alien somehow, I was very severely bullied in elementary but just seemed to exude a discomforting aura from then on, people just seemed to not like me, and often admitted as such. My dad often referred to me as lazy for most of my life, my teachers all called me scatterbrain and spastic, I really felt like I *knew* I was the problem. And I didn't even find out about autism until I was maybe... 22? Like 2 years ago. I had an ADHD diagnosis (along with severe depression and severe anxiety) but it was from when most doctors thought the two conditions could not co-exist. Since I had received the ADHD diagnosis so early, I was also never recommended for an autism assessment. I still have not been able to receive the assessment, but rest assured I *know* I'm autistic, after these 2 years of exploration and research and trying really hard to understand exactly what autism *is*, I am absolutely assured of that. And I also wrote a 320 page document detailing my symptoms and experiences, just in case haha. It became a special interest of mine to say the least. I'm still trying to forgive myself and realign myself with who I should be, to take my mask down and everything, but it's so deeply ingrained in me (via abuse of various kinds and of varying severity) that it's extremely difficult to do. Anyway, hope you are doing well. Love the bee outfit btw ngl

[@maytalacedo2942]

I was such a scary cat when I saw goosebumps every where as a kid and try to avoid them all elementary school years because the book covers look so scary and unsettling. I did at least read one when I was in middle school and it was a warewolf mask and it fit the Halloween feel and it was a bit scary even though reading it at 13 years old wasn't a big deal. But it showed the writers to some older audience can feel the terror so well

[@devonmmi]

this book is one of the weirdest ones in the series. there is just something about the last scene about tasting flower nectar

[@SilentProti]

as a kid i saw a trailer for a movie Fly (or idk i watched a part of it on tv) and it has a similar premise and i was scarred for life too

[@JAYZ-47465]

Why does it remind me of The Metamorphosis but its bees lmao

[@give_em_the_Ol_Razzle_Dazzle]

I remember growing up RL Stine wrote horror novels called Fear Street series, and if you think Goosebumps is scary, then I highly recommend this. I was traumatized by these books! There was one called college weekend, where a girl discovers her boyfriend’s roommate murdered him, and she finds his rotting body in a closet.😰

[@katiediane7082]

I JUST read “Give me a K-I-L-L” and it’s so good!

[@lulaloopsey]

i haven’t read that series but remember hearing about the netflix movie adaptations awhile back! i did however read one of the “ghosts of fear street” books which has stuck with me for years! (aka “night of the werecat”)

[@tarotsushima3332]

College Weekend was a formative memory for him. That scene of her finding pictures of herself in that dark room stuck with me.

Could you do a review of The Haunted Mask book?

[@claymationhell]

Lulaloopsy you are such a queen I hope you're having and amazing life being spoiled and loved ❤

[@thatdoodlebunny1593]

I also skipped this one as a kid. Not because it scared me, but because I didn’t think it looked spooky enough. Child-me was only interested in the ones with ghosts, werewolves, and other monsters because that’s what I thought good horror was as a kid. I passed up the one about the shark and the worm one for the same reason.

[@angusking1593]

The ending, so is it if one of the beings participating in "Person To Person" expires then all involved in the swap go back to their own body. If either Gary's or Dirk's body had expired, the Bee and the survivor return to their own bodies? So in a way, when the neighbour almost removed him, the ordeal could have been over. Or was it to do with stinging Gary in particular? If it was to do with, one body expires, if it wasn't a kids book, Dirk's body being controlled by a bee couldn't be safe. Even eating flowers could be dangerous. I'd imagine that something harmless to a bee might not be so for a human, but how could a bee know that. So that way Gary would go back to normal as would the bee?

[@kyupiangel90]

I liked this little summary, a lot actually, so, do you mind doing one, and giving your opinion, about one of my favorites? It is one i read as a small child on my tiny elementary library, so i cannot remember it's title, but it is about some kids entering an old lady's garden for (some) reason, and she cursing them all for doing so, making them all suffer with a trump card mark on their bodies as a warning of their next victim. I read only few of books from this series, but that one literally scarred me for life, lemme tell ya😂 If you do, i do seriously thank you, bc it's one of my favorites.❤

[@BellaBoop_863]

My favorite RL Stine book is The Babysitter! Idk if you’d ever read it or do a video on it but it would be so cool if u did ☺️

[@rayhayes7701]

I own this book as a physical copy and I read it probably two years ago. I enjoyed it and kinda wished it was an episode but it probably would have been a bit of a bad idea with bee's freaking people out. Gary as a protagonists I can sympathize with him because I have been bullied and it's not fun you think you're the problem. And it doesn't help when nobody wants to cut you a break.

[@mightyarbokking7197]

As unhinged as this book is and the fan community definitely has quite the mixed amount of opinions on it, Why I’m Afraid of Bees is actually one of my favorite classic books, likely because of the element of the whole plot that is becoming your worst fear, and plus i feel like i relate to Gary Lutz a lot.

[@princelandrycrusher]
