Which Goosebumps book would work best as a full length film?
that one there, the bee movie.
>>215362263The choose your own adventure knight one
>>215362263The one where they basically bully the shit out of some girl for looking like Sweet Dee, and then at the end instead of getting some kind of comeuppance, the bullies tell a witch to turn her into a literal bird and they do, cursing her to a miserable life as a random wild bird that will die in a few short years.
>>215362263None. The whole thing that makes them cool is that you imagine them even more fucked-up then any media adaption could ever do.
>>215362309>yfw
A Shocker On Shock StreetVampire Breath
>>215362263Ghost CampThe Haunted SchoolOne Day at HorrorLandThe Horror at Camp Jellyjam
>>215364081>The Haunted SchoolIs that the one with the black and white world? That book always needed a sequel.
>>215362263Are there any goosebumps books that deal with gender changing that have aged badly? Kek
>>215364081>The Haunted School>One Day at HorrorLandthese were awesome>Ghost Camp>The Horror at Camp Jellyjamthese sucked, best camp books were Welcome to Camp Nightmare and The Curse of Camp Cold Lake
would make a kino halloween movie
>>215364144
is there a reason why Blum House hasn't adapted them all yet?
>>215364205Ghost Camp had two of the most annoying and whiny protagonists in the series, and the part where they literally wish away the monster by yelling "I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOU" was some of the gayest shit I ever read. Also saw the twist coming a mile away. Jellyjam had an awesome cover I'll give you that, and some decent mystery to it, but the villain turning out to be a giant slime was hugely disappointing and the climax was lazy and boring.>we'll all just stop cleaning him and he'll be defeated by his own smell!
>>215364305>child shows his shit opinionJelly Jam eating kids throughout the book and mind controlling the adults to get the most fit was kino. Also, the protagonist getting possessed was a nice twist. Camp Nightmare was alright until the ending, and Horrorland was just ok. The Doomslide was horrific at the time, but that was about it.
>>215364373>Camp Nightmare was alright until the ending, and Horrorland was just ok.and you call my opinions shit lmao
>traumatizes me for life so I can't eat spaghetti without thinking of that scene with the worms in itThanks R L Stein!
>>215362285Bad choice. The whole thing is a dream sequence. Picrel is my favorite You Choose the Scare. Hard to predict where it's going and also kind of hard to win from a gaming perspective. There are lots of good ones for adaptation though. I tried watching the new streamslop and it was fucking awful. Hope they'll try again someday.
>>215362309I hated how they changed that ending for the tv adaptation. It was one of the most fucked up endings and the books had a lot of those.
I think the fear street books could at least make a good TV series
>>215364681Ironic that horror stories for kids are more fucked up than horror movies for adults.
>R. L. (((Stine)))
>>215364733Ghosts of Fear Street was just Goosebumps 2.0
I was scared shitless of these books until I actually read them.
>>215364773Pure coincidence.
>>215364499I loved the purple peanut butter one
>>215364773Even though I generally think Goosebumps is wholesome and reminds me of a more civilised white society, something about his writing style has a telltale jewy quality.
>>215364814Yeah the oddball ones were the best in that series.
>>215364681It was a better ending then the shit book ending, faggot.>>215364733If it turns out anything like the haunting hour series, I'll pass.>>215364773>child shitposts to fit in
>>215364733https://youtu.be/UyUuzCGblqc?si=t9LzUOwLR1LRG2p2
>>215365143>It was a better ending then the shit book ending, faggot.it wasn't, but you probably think Horrorland's TV ending is better than the book ending, right?
Terror Tower would be good. Wasn't it already a two parter for the show?
>>215365374Of course it was a shit. If you are talking about Be Careful What You Wish For. Suffering wank isn't my thing. The Horrorland show had a worse ending though. At least the book had less of a cliff hanger.
>>215364858you sound hysterical
>>215364733I thought the trilogy they did on Netflix was alright. I didn't watch the new one though.
>>215362263I read so many of these but can't remember a single story.
>>215366421The AVGN wrote a book?What a shitload of fuck
>>215366465I hear it's the balls on the cock.
Best Goosebumps book for me personally would be I Live In Your Basement, potentially could make a good film but wouldn't be easy. Favourite choose your own was Dr Eeek and the carnival one was good too. Now, best for a film? I'd probably say one of the longer series like Monster Blood due to the amount of content, but I think Calling All Creeps could be extended to feature length.>>215364499>>215364733>>215365459>>215362285>>215363987Great picks
>>215366378say cheese and die, stay out of the basement, ghost beach, the ghost next door, beast from the east (what an awful deus ex machina 'victory')... i can remember the plots to those no problem. but the 100 other goosebumps books i read? totally forgotten.i know the night of the jack-o-lanterns ends with the two kids being aliens but that's because of the TV show episode
>>215366663carnival CYOA was top tier. actually had a "use your finger as the pointer of a roulette wheel and be honest about it" page. sovl
>>215366758this is why i fucking hate machine scanned books. zero soul. zero fucks given. archive 85% of it and fuck the 15% that gave it some character.
>>215364305Nah, King Jellyjam was kino. Like a Lovecraftian horror or the Father of Fathers in Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train
for me it's this lil nigga
God how fucking cool was it in elementary school when the scholastic book fair happened at school and you got to see all the new goosebumps books Life peaked long ago
Why did the reprints replace the Tim Jacobus covers? Those were kino.
>>215367114Good memories. Do you remember those Christian Lassen folders everyone had?
>>215367481Fuck Dolphins. Ecco was too rough.
>>215367291they would probably have to pay him something and were just being cheap, the reprint covers are horrible
For me it's Reader Beware You Choose The Scare and dying in the most horrifying ways as a child trying to escape an evil cruise ship
>>215367291>>215367696https://goosebumps.fandom.com/wiki/Goosebumps_(original_series)#ReprintsThese ones? Or are you talking about the Classic series? I would assume that is because they slightly changed the text of them for modern audiences, and because Brandon was the artist at the time.>>215367737Some of those were brutal. I am still pissed over losing because you leave a friend, yet that same friend will leave you to die.
I thought the beast from the east cover looked cool, with the muscular bear creatures climbing around on trees. Never finished reading it.
>>215367788The snake canyon one was fucking impossible.
>>215364160It already was an episode and it was creepy as hell.
When's My Teacher is An Alien getting an adaptation? I would've thought it was a slam dunk after the success of Stranger Things.
>>215362309I dunno anon living as a bird seems like it would be kind of comfy
>>215367696Sometimes it's an attempt to shield kids from art that they think is too scary. Same thing happened with Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark>books are known for some of the best horror art of all time>2011 reprint tries to replace Stephen Gammel art with Brett Helquist (guy who did the covers for Series of Unfortunate Events)>Helquist is admittedly a good artist, but the vibe is ruined>complaints about the new art completely dwarf 30 years of complaints the publisher received about the original art being "too scary" >publisher immediately switches back to Gammel
>>215367930How many times do kids need to prove they can handle and enjoy scary things before people stop trying to "shield them"? FNAF is one of the most popular franchises among kids and it's about robots that murder children
>>215367930I think the movie aesthetic was more influenced by Gammell.
>>215367788I would assume that is because they slightly changed the text of them for modern audiencesThe 2000s reprints, and yeah the changed text is retarded. Minor yes, but I was still annoyed listening to the audiobook versions and hearing that something happened back in "2001" when the book came out in 1994. God forbid a kid reading it have to contend with the fact that the books were written in the 90s. Also they removed fat jokes and the like for being insensitive lol fuck you Scholastic
>>215367998arguably del Toro's weakest work but you're absolutely right, very faithful to the art style.
>>215367481Fuck yeah I do
Goosebumps really made me with I had a tomboy monster girl gf who would protect me when things got really scary.
>>215367843Just enjoy the game. The author turned the series into shit, so at best you would have the first book be made into a show, then have it do its own thing.
>>215367967>How many times do kids need to prove they can handle and enjoy scary thingsThey can't asshat. Hence why these stories were created to terrify them. They just got older and stopped being afraid.
>>215367843The series went downhill in Flunked My Planet. Way too preachy. The aliens are supposed to have the moral high ground as they consider blowing up Earth because we have genocide and pollution.
>>215368439>They can't asshat.Yes they can dumbass. Kids fucking love horror
>>215368035>I would assume that is because they slightly changed the text of them for modern audiencesI said that exact same thing. The art for the 2000s reprints are the exact same for most of them. I do agree that I don't enjoy hearing them change dialogue from a tape, to a cd. There is a nostalgic charm from imaging the kids with such retro tech and lingo.>>215368459They consider blowing up earth because of how we will wipe them all out if we ever manage to enter the galactic stage.
>>215368473Which is why those stories worked in terrifying them and gave them nightmares for years? Jackass.
>>215363987>A Shocker On Shock StreetI read that just for the giant mantis on the cover, and they were barely in it for two pages. I was kinda disappointed. Still a decent read for a kid's book.
>>215362309The girl keeps trying to wish bad stuff on her bully then finally decides to wish that the bully met the lady who grants her the wishes thinking she's found a way to fuck her life up.
>>215368485That's a pretty stupid and presumptuous justification for preemptive mass murder of billions. They easily have the technology to disarm us well before we reach that stage if development. They even explicitly mention the option of simply sealing off Earth in its solar system so there is never a possibility of us even getting to Alpha Centuri.
>>215367080I like how they made coyotes into injuns.
>>215367930I couldnt be in the same room as that book as a kid. I read it once and promptly put it far away from me.
>>215368559>That's a pretty stupid and presumptuous justification for preemptive mass murder of billions.Amusing how you say that as we still doing the same thing they were worried about. Also, they mention how genocide is their last resort and ultimately decide not to do so when it is agreed that man can learn and change.>us never getting to Alpha CenturiUnless they try the Ur Quan route, we will discover a way eventually.
>>215367291They are trying to demoralize the population with shittier art that has no soul. I mean that with 100% sincerity. It is even worse than how they are updating the text for modern times.
>>215368500>terrifying them and gave them nightmares for yearsIf that was true they wouldnt read them and the franchise wouldn't have existed after going bankrupt, dumbass.
>>215368623
>>215368631>he thinks it was only the kids that read themIt's as if you ignored my post and just shitposted. Older kids are a thing, jackass. They are the main demographic of consumers for this kind of literature, not the kids that parents were concerned for. Same with Goosebumps.
>>215368613Amusing how you kiss that green alien ass and blindly accept without question the dubious notion that these superior extraterrestrials rose to be space faring races without wars in their own pasts.
>>215368640>bait>he doesn't knowhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architectureThey've been doing this shit since the 50s
Anthology movie with 3-4 adaptions using Legend of the Lost Legend a frame storyAs I recall, Legend of Lost Legend was about a guy taking his two kids abroad on search for this lost legendThey encounter a strange camp, whose leaders reveal that have the lost legendThey hand it over, immediately pack up and leaveThe father opens the container and reads a text that tells them the lost legend is they whoever owns it will be lost foreverMy picks>The Ghost Next Door>The Haunted Mask>A Night at Terror Tower>Ghost Beach
>>215362263I used to love collecting Goosebumps books as a kid, but I can't for the life of me remember any of the stories in them anymore.>>215367114>Life peaked long agoAmen. It's all downhill from here on out.
