He probably got bored at being the last living human on Earth forced to live a life of seclusion and squalor, so he decided to torment those who pretended to be his kind and were responsible for his current condition in the first place.

He got lonely and wanted friends

[@Legacy-sw7bv]

Unfun fact: A German soldier in WWII actually had something very similar to the piano fate after being captured by Russian soldiers. He got to live so long as he kept playing the piano. He played for the rest of his life (22 hours straight). After he collapsed from exhaustion he was congradulated, then promptly lethally shot as promised. Unfun fact 2: Turning into living statues is arguably realistic via "Stone man syndrome." This genetic condition causes the body to heal damage with bone as opposed to the proper soft tissue. As a result, joints become immobile as bones fuse and bridge together. Removal of the bone growths just leads to a larger one taking its place as the surgical wound heals. Late in the condition, sufferers have to decide which position they want to be stuck in for the rest of their lives. Unfun fact 3: This is a bit of a reach, but "locked in syndrome" is a bit close to the void fate. This condition outwardly presents like a coma, but sufferers are fully conscious and aware of their surroundings. They are even able to form long-term memories, but unable to communicate or move (they can apparently move their eyes up and down, but that's it).

Here's the funny thing about Deep Trouble. The episode is a completely different story from the book! The episode is about a chemical that mutated people and makes sharks Megolodon size (don't know why the shark wasn't the big bad), while the book was about mermaids and trying to protect them. Also in the book It Came From Beneath The Sink, Kat kills the grool by giving it love and found the laynx in the same place and way she found the grool. Also she almost got hit by a truck. And the grool changed color and had no mouth.

[@SSRuiz]

because the Deep Trouble episode was based on the sequel, Deep Trouble II, not Deep Trouble (hence why, instead of mermaids from the first Deep Trouble, we got the giant sea creatures and D-13 plankton from Deep Trouble II)

[@RanaltheBeetle]

Not exactly. In the book, “It Came from Beneath the Sink”, Kat’s dog, Killer, discovers the Grool when nosing through the cabinet after which Kat herself takes a closer look. As for the Lanx, Killer somehow finds it himself when Kat, Daniel and Carlo are out getting ice cream. They dont discover the Lanx until after they get back

I'd say the episode where all the kids were originally dogs and went back to their original animal forms in the end freaked me out. This was all due to the parents wanting kids but not having a good way to ensure their kids STAYED human.

And it’s twisted the parents pretend their kids never existed once they returned to their original forms and only the main character’s parents were willing to explain everything and keep him as their pet. So sad some parents would abandon their kids once they started to transform back than keeping them as pets.

There was a goosebumps book that I feel like is underrated. I can't remember the name of it but it's about two kids who stay with their grandparents while their parents are on a work trip. They accidentally let out the monster that the grandparents trapped. But what's crazy is how the grandparents straight up ABANDONS the kids in the house WITH the monster still inside, KNEW there were more monsters, and planned on NOT TELLING ANYONE that the kids were trapped in the house. It ends with the kids trying to figure out how to leave despite the monsters now surrounding the house. I'm surprised it wasn't made into an episode. But then again, the book was messed up so maybe it's better it WASN'T shown on tv😅

[@bizzaroblake2519]

How to kill a monster was the story you're thinking of. And here's the thing. They warn the kids not to open the door with the monster inside it, they leave a note on the back of their first note explaining everything and are sorry they didn't tell them sooner and more importantly not to leave the house to go in the swamp to find the grandparents as the house is the only safe place from the monsters in the swamp. The monster that was in the house was deathly allergic to humans but we can't assume the others are too. Then the siblings are trapped in the swamp while we are unsure if they get out of the swamp back to the house or the monsters get them. Only thing we know Is the monsters start waking up soon by the time they realize the danger they put themselves in since they didn't turn over the note in the house.

I watched the first two episodes of the new Goosebumps series on Disney+ and couldn't keep going. I don't know what the hell I watched, but it was not Goosebumps. It was some weird wanna CW-esque high school drama that's trying to be a Stephen King like story with a sprinkle of iconic Goosebumps McGuffins used loosely to tie the story together. Goosebumps was always focused around kids, with the added element that their parents wouldn't believe them if they told them. But here; we're dealing with teenagers about to graduate, and the parents are in on some deep conspiracy? Did the writers even read any of the Goosebumps books? The Haunted Mask, which was the second episode felt like a betrayal of the source material. Whatever that thing was, it wasn't the iconic unloved face that made it's titular book so incredible.

[@zakirstocks9514]

Same here

[@stefantsarev4442]

To see "Say Cheese and Die" was quite refreshing, because the main kid was no other than young Ryan Gosling.

[@scottylewis8124]

Being turned into an ornament.

[@amyrosefan1883]

This show was a true gem! I watched it a lot when I was a kid. “Night of the living dummy 2” was my first and favorite episode. Since then, I binged watched a lot of them and I have a lot of favorites, most of them are on this list like “Stay out of the Basement.” “Bride of the living dummy” “The Scarecrow walks at midnight” and “Haunted house game” are also good ones! The cheesy charm and the horror mixed together to make a fantastic show. And most of the episodes are faithful to the books with added differences. This show is legendary! Kids today don’t know what they’re missing, I swear.

[@Jcvideotumblr]

We just gonna forget "The scarecrows walk at midnight" ????

Turned into a scarecrow, or being mulched by a harvester.

330: I’ve honestly never seen the show of Goosebumps. Only the movie and the sequel. Looking at this, is just creepy. Amazing work R. L. Stine

[@SSRuiz]

you are seriously missing out if you haven't read nor watched the original books and TV series

[@GenGamesUniverse]

When WatchMojo mentioned about Carly Beth and the haunted mask; there actually was going to be a Haunted Mask III story done by R.L. Stine, but it was never released due to Scholastic Books cancelling his contract as they wanted to go in a different route to what the Goosebumps series was. This was going to be called "The Haunted Mask Lives", and there are actually sketches of the story showing Carly Beth once again battling the haunted mask, but she would actually rip off her own face and show her skull without eyes and then at the end, she would put the haunted mask on and become the haunted mask...or something along that line lol. It was never released, so yeah XD

[@orkutfinance]

I always found it funny that at the end of "Be careful what you wish for..." Clarissa always gets Samantha's straight forword wishes wrong, but Judith's vague insultcorrect.

[@CosplayDreams16]

I think Clarissa knew Judiths wish was self centered. She had it coming to her.

[@bartolomeestebanmurillo4459]

Looking back at Goosebumps all these years later, I loved how they used horror as an allegory for the fears and tribulations we all had during our formative years. Some of these episodes had legit shocking endings and left me pondering the fate of these characters.

[@cannonmovietalesfan]

I always thought the ending of A Shocker on Shock Street was pretty twisted, especially when Erin and Marty were about to gang up on Dr. Wright. The ending was added for the episode.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

"Just throw that one on the trash heap. I'll make another one." Yes, terrifying!

[@LokkerG]

If you pay attention to the background, you'll see swan boats in one of the episode's scenes. Centreville Amusement Park was a surprising cameo for me.

[@fernandomangarrez6742]

I am no longer scared of Goosebumps since I realized most of the terror is based on the Lovecraftian horror of the unknown.

[@knightwolf9863]

#10 It all depends on how you wanna flip the coin. On the one hand, to be erased from time is a real bummer. But, on the other hand, considering that it was Tara “The Terrible” who got erased, would anyone go back and save her? You be the judge. And once again, little sisters that get away with anything because Mommy and Daddy spoil and/or favor them more are nothing more than worthless shit-stains.

[@chayden153]

yeah. Tara was the absolute worst

[@jarrettowens6073]

I can't stand them either. Kind of reminds me of the book Monster Blood III. However, it was actually Evan's cousin being a little, lying, conniving, piece of shit.

[@MegBat713]

I get what you're saying, they really made Tara a terror, but she could have grown out of that phase (since she was so young) & become the best sister as they grew up...but maybe that's wishful thinking. My biggest question is if it was just Tara who wasn't born, or was everyone from that year not born!? 😱

[@MichaelWhitmire-v6j]

@@jarrettowens6073 This many times yes.

[@outdatedthrowawayaccount5629]

​​@@MegBat713from a writing perspective, probably only her to keep the ending simple. But, you could argue the book didn't deny the possibility of other people born the same year also being erased from time as well. 🤷 It really depends if there was an established range regarding how many people can get affected by the clock.

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

I saw the first 5 episodes of the reboot, and I loved it, I thought it was gonna be something like the 2015 movie, and it wasn't, thank goodness, I still love the 90s series, anyway, I think being trapped in the haunted house with a couple of ghosts is a fate well deserved, those kids got what they deserved for putting Chris through that, i would've done the same thing!

[@sharebear421]

Meh I wished they followed the books more. The old tv show didn’t adapt all the books so they shouldve done some of those. Being darker, more violent is fine though

[@terraagnew6572]

Definitely never realized Ryan Gossling was in Goosebumps

[@markdodson8570]

Before chucky I was terrified of slappy but I got older and I also found out that slappy in the third installment was voiced by the actor who voiced Wolverine in the 90’s X-men cartoon and will continue to voice him in the 2024 X-men 97 cartoon.

I grew up with the Goosebumps books. I think I had them ever since I was 8. I don’t have any now but I still really love the series. I didn’t actually discover the tv series until I was 13 when I had Netflix on my XBox 360. I really love the show as well. I wonder why the first “Night Of the Living Dummy” wasn’t adapted into a tv episode. Does anyone know why not?

Top 10 fates worse than death in power rangers 1. Anton became mesogog 2. Force diabolico to save Ryan with a price (lightspeed rescue) 3. Mike being magna defenders host (lost galaxy) 4. Carlos turned into a mutated insect (in space) 5. Tommy turned evil (mmpr) 6. Jarrod being dai shis host (jungle fury) 7. Leanbow as koragg (mystic force) 8. Mack the android (operation overdrive) 9. Watching the wild zord get killed by master org (wild force) 10. Nightmare collar (ninja storm)

12:05 What do you mean "he can go back and save her"? SHE WAS COMPLETELY ERASED FROM TIME. Unless he experiments with dinension travel, there's no possible way to save Tara!

[@ursulap.6722]

When I was a kid I had the Goosebumps books #1-44 and the Choose Your Own Adventures #1-6, yet somehow I didn't hear of this show until I was well into adulthood. I would have loved it! Also, was that Ryan Gosling and Sean from Degrassi TNG I saw?

[@WouldYouKindlyWatch]

Yes, that was them!

[@ursulap.6722]

@@WouldYouKindlyWatch while I do like that the video didn't go out of its way to bring attention to the fact that Gosling's a big star now, some mid-video confirmation would have been nice, lol

[@art.of.verser]

Yes, that was them. The latter actor, Daniel Clark, who played Sean Cameron on Degrassi: TNG, was in an episode of Goosebumps. I just figured that out myself a while back. I'm all too aware about Gosling, tho. Did you also know that Ryan Gosling was in a couple episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark?

[@agmarkwell]

There is a "Goosebumps" short story Stine did called "Nutcracker Nightmare". In it, a girl attends a performance of "The Nutcracker" with her parents and a family friend. The girl doesn't want to watch the ballet and constanly complains. As she's watching, the girl realizes that the action onstage had literally slown down enough so that literal years pass by while the family sits there. I won't spoil the ending, but the mere thought of being stuck in that situation sets my anxiety off.
