Honestly this is one of the least hosed up books. I read a lot of the Give Yourself Goosebumps stuff and good god do they go all in on the body horror. Let's see the Rides path Zore fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Jun 7, 2017 |

There's a three-way tie at the moment, so next vote for Final Challenge without Monster Blood, skipping out on the freaks, or going on the rides determines what we do.

Must've left it in my other pants posted:The crowd is closing in. Your pockets are empty - you have nothing to defend yourself with. So you run! Why do they even have all these dummies posted:They're dummies. That's why they don't move! Character Sheet posted:Inventory GOOSEBUMPS LORE If you've only heard of a single Goosebumps monster, odds are it's Slappy. He's appeared in more books than any other monster in the series - three original series books, two Goosebumps 2000 books, four Goosebumps HorrorLand books, one Goosebumps Most Wanted book, and, of course, this book. And that's not counting his appearances in the TV show, live-action movie, tie-in video game, or short-lived stage play, nor the recently-released Goosebumps SlappyWorld series. Like all good horror villains, the exact details of Slappy's origin and powers vary between installments, but the general idea is that he's an evil ventriloquist dummy brought to life by an evil wizard for no adequately explained reason. He usually starts off in a dormant state, only to be brought to life when his latest unfortunate owner reads the aforementioned spell off the note in his pocket. Once awakened, Slappy sets about making trouble for as many people as possible and getting it blamed on his owner. His ultimate goal is usually to force his owner to become his slave - a goal which lends itself to unfortunate implications, especially considering his propensity for violence against his "slaves" and the fact that most of his owners in the series have been underage girls. In other words, deliberately bringing Slappy to life is a horrible, horrible idea. I honestly cannot think of a single scenario where your chances of survival would be improved by the addition of a psychopathic ventriloquist dummy. (Also, fun fact: much like fellow horror legend Jason Voorhees, Slappy wasn't the villain of the first story in his franchise. He was a red herring to distract from the real antagonist, another evil dummy with the unfortunate name of Mr. Wood. Slappy took over his role after Mr. Wood's terminal encounter with a steamroller at the end of the book.)

I assume magic spells go best when they're long and complicated and not lawyer friendly references to Willy Wonka.

Why would you do this posted:"Karru marri odonna loma molonu karrano." You say the magic words and - the dummy comes to life! Like being back in high school posted:The fortune-teller said this number might save your life. But how? I thought we weren't doing time travel until next book posted:You're outside - standing in Bennet's Field - gazing at the fence that surrounds the carnival.

To the rides! posted:"Let's go on the rides first!" you say. "That roller coaster looked awesome!" Thrills or chills? posted:The tracks stretch up so high that they seem to touch the clouds. Your gaze follows one of the cars speeding around a sharp curve. It looks like the space shuttle. You notice that it has a safety harness that locks over your body - you've seen those before. They keep you in when the ride turns upside-down. You didn't want to admit it before, but, like Brad, riding upside-down is not your favorite thing. Character Sheet posted:Inventory

Logic dictates that attempting to fly should be our last course of action. Therefore, genre-savviness dictates it's what we must do now.

Loving this so much. Thanks for this. Although, as a kid, I actually recall preferring the lesser known Strange Matter series. Althuogh still read the poo poo out of Goosebumps. Wasn't there a blog that had, like, reviews of all of them? Anyways. My vote is House of Horrors. This is a horror story, dammit!
