And also the best one

Anyways. Night in terror tower was entertaining. I read and forgot more than I care to admit
The twist in that one made no sense to me.

Favorites that havent been mentioned yet are The Headless Ghost and The Horror of Camp Jellyjam

Yes!

That one genuinely bothered me as a kid.

Welcome To Camp Nightmare and Calling All Creeps were some of my other favorites.

Were the Goosebumps endings....canon, for lack of a better term? They often felt like huge asspulls that were contradicted by the rest of the books, but I read them as a kid so idk if they were actually well foreshadowed ever.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

I dont recall Deep Trouble being that way though.

In the book I thought the assistant was a kinda good guy who reluctantly betrayed them, rather than a douchebag who acted like a stereotypical villain? Also I dont remember there being fish monster people on an island.

But then again I read that book 20+ years ago, so I cant exactly count on my memory lol

Blogger Beware is (was) a fun site for sarcastic plot summaries of the books, including calling out the most ridiculous chapter cliffhangers and the completely out of place twists that happen at the end. He's very sincere about the books he thinks are shit and the books he was surprised somehow weren't shit.

Thats the most recent one I just read. It was enjoyable but they could have spent more time in Pasadena. Its like R.L. Stine was running out of pages so he had to wrap it up quickly. Im finding that a lot of these books wrap up too quickly.

One time I got a good ending in a CYOA without cheating/backtracking. I was very proud of myself.
Me to it was one of the special editions although i don't remember which one

I remember being with my dad and stepmom and them forbidding me from watching it because it was too scary.

But they had no problem with me being there when they watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The one thing about Haunted Mask that I remember the most, was that as the mask began fusing to the kid's face, it began giving him physical qualities or traits of an old man, and I remember one line specifically mentioning that he had a craving for warm oatmeal, or something like that.

His writing was pretty bad sometimes. Like he'd end a chapter all:

"And then the monster bit off my head"

But then the next chapter would start off all:

"Actually, it wasn't a monster, it was my sister. And she didn't bite off my head, she brought me freshly baked cookies."

Yeah as Im rereading these books, this is my biggest complaint. Its obvious when a chapter cliffhanger is just some bullshit.

I also wish some of the endings were beefed up more. Otherwise Im enjoying these books.

hey that's like my mom, she wouldn't let me see Nightmare Before Christmas which had come out a few years prior IIRC. Let me watch a lot of stupid shit about Irish ghosts and banshees though, and she was always joking about how they had scared the hell out of my older brother...
