Hat Thoughts posted:What does Goosebumps look like? If it was a real Goosebumps movie, every scene would end with the main characters in horrible peril... only for the next scene to reveal that no one was ever in any real danger and that the threat was completely innocuous. The trailer looks to be what I remember of Goosebumps, with an added attempt to draw in adults who read the series while growing up. It's a children's series, and I don't expect it to be scary to anyone outside the intended age group. Movie looks pretty okay for what it is.

Timby posted:The only thing I remember about Goosebumps is a book about a hamster that eats some green goo and suddenly becomes a Godzilla-sized beast. The one I remember is where the main character turns into a dog at the end. Or something like that. It might've been that he was a dog all along and just didn't know it. That's sort of scary, I guess.

The real poo poo was Are You Afraid Of The Dark? Oh man, I haven't thought about that show in a long time. The episode about the body in the pool left me really uncomfortable around drains. I also remember an episode about a purple doll that sprayed acid, but I can't seem to find it on Wikipedia for some reason. QuoProQuid fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Jul 9, 2015 |

To go on another tangent before I shut up, Beekman's World ripped off the look of MST3K to a degree where I was convinced it was a spinoff.

The ending involved a kid saving a princess with his super soaker, then they warp away into what looks like a gym, but it turns out they're trapped inside a pinball table. The story ends with them about to get crushed by a pinball. It was way more effective than it looks on page, at least for a 10-year-old kid.

The ending involved a kid saving a princess with his super soaker, then they warp away into what looks like a gym, but it turns out they're trapped inside a pinball table. The story ends with them about to get crushed by a pinball. Like 80% of the entire episode takes place inside a pinball machine. The main kid is trying to beat the "story" of the pinball machine, he breaks into the arcade after closing, starts playing it, gets stuck inside the machine, where he has to contend with everything in the story, saves the day, and thinks he's going to get freed when he does. At the end the owner of the arcade shows up while the kid is still in the machine, wondering what the hell happened, and the owner basically tells him "it's a game, and when you beat a game, it starts over again!" before plinking in a quarter and the kid watches as a giant pinball rolls into view, which means he has to do the whole thing over in a Sisyphean nightmare that now also includes a giant death ball chasing him and a maniacally evil old dude able to see every move he makes. There's also my personal favorite, the one about a restaurant whose cook makes the best soup you can get anywhere - by locking people in a room (luring them in by saying they'll learn what makes the soup so special if they go into the room and sit in the sole chair in there) with a statue that knows what scares you and subjects you to it incessantly, and the fear brought on by this creating the secret ingredient that makes the soup taste so good. Starring Neve Campbell. I'm pretty sure that one has a downer ending, too. There's also the haunted film reel episode that featured one of the recurring guest stars that was an old, super-bearded crazy man and the haunted film is basically Nosferatu. Plus the Ryan Gosling episode that had something to do with alien contact in which you'll be astounded how bad a 14 or so year old Gosling is at acting. Like holy poo poo, he's the drizzling shits in it. I remember way too much about Are You Afraid of The Dark and SNICK in general.

The one Goosebumps episode I remember had a sponge or potato with teeth. It couldn't move and didn't attack anyone, it just growled a little.

As a Canadian, I loving LOVED Are You Afraid of the Dark, what a glorious show to watch at night and actually be creepy/scary. The pinball episode is probably the best and most remembered one, at least its my personal favorite but a lot of people you talk to remember that specific one. It was insane.

Yeah, as a Canadian kid Are You Afraid of The Dark? was definitely The poo poo. It was weird seeing one of the Midnight Society kids as a weatherman years later. The episode that's always stuck with me is the swimming pool ghost zombie thing.

The Goosebumps movie looks like they're afraid to let it get even a little scary, or go a second without a joke. It's getting a Danny Elfman score, so hopefully it'll have something more of a spooky tone than that pop-song-laden romp of a trailer. The TV show really was awful and cheap though. AYAOTD was mostly classier and legitimately creepy.

The book was a little more up front about District 13 being full of jerks because there's this whole subplot about how they strictly regiment everything. Everyone has a schedule that they have to keep or they get in trouble.
