Oh man, I remember reading these all the time as a kid. I actually liked them better than the main Goosebumps series. I've been doing my best to catch up to where we are now. Glad everyone can see how interesting (and utterly ridiculous) some of these can get. Looking back, I think my favourite (out of the ones I read) was Curse of the Creeping Coffin, but I do still have a soft spot for Little Comic Shop of Horrors.

Anyways, I'm voting for breaking free from the squid.

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going...

I think it's time to bail.

Oh geez, I'm suddenly remembering that fake life preserver part. Complete bullshit (like most of the deaths in this series).

Let's go back and break free from that squid.

Everyone knows that Jupiter is big. And because it's big, that means if we were on Jupiter, we'd be smaller. Smaller things weigh less.

I dare you to find fault in my logic!

Wording trouble. It's a trick question.

Floyd is wrong.

I just imagine that the entire time, Patty and Big Al were playing something simple like Tetris, and the entire time Patty was going full Egoraptor, screaming, "WHY DIDN'T THE GAME TELL ME WHAT TO DO?! WHY IS THIS SO UNINTUITIVE?! THIS GAME SUCKS!" All this immediately after skipping the tutorial.

In any case, I know the answer here, but I want to whine and complain like my boy Arin.

We won! Now onto a book I haven't read.

Actually, I'm trying to remember what other ones in the series I HAVE read... I did "You're Plant Food" and I also think "Checkout Time at the Deadend Hotel," but no others from here-on-out.

The non-adventure Goosebumps Books had the same schedule. If you go back and read some of them and they're a half-baked scattershot hodge-podge with little coherence given for rhyme, reason, structure, or quality it's because they were churned out monthly by a legion of ghostwriters.

What's funny is that about five years ago, Stine did an AMA on Reddit and claimed that there were never any ghostwriters.

That made me laugh - even if he WAS talented enough to write both a standard 96-140 page kids' novel AND a CYOA novel a month, on top of anything else he was doing, some of the books (such as Vampire Breath) have such a different prose style than the series usually has that it's a dead giveaway that he didn't write them all.

So digging a tunnah didn't work? Sad.

If it was guaranteed to be a monster, I would fight it, but there's no guarantee, and I don't want to fight a polar bear.

Let's escape on the iceberg. Merry Christmas.

We must follow the doggo. Why? Because he's a good boy. How do we know? Because he's a dog - all dogs are good boys. Even the girls.

Let's magnify it!

On a side note, I did once try the magnifying glass thing. It took me thirty minutes of experimentation because I was a stupid kid who didn't realize it was the focus that caused the burning, and even then all I managed was a bit of burn damage to a wooden deck.
