Cavity Colors has released a Goosebumps collection that includes T-shirts ($30), long sleeves ($40), zip-up hoodies ($50), and sweatpants ($45) designed by Devon Whitehead, Hillary White, Anthony Petrie, and Matthew Skiff plus two enamel pins ($15). They’ll ship the week of May 17.
I just found out that (without R. L. Stine’s approval) Scholastic has been “Updating” the language in the Goosebumps books every so often to make it “relatable” to “today’s youth.”
Sorry... Were the teens of today confused by terms like “CD Player” or “Mall”?
As far as I can recall R. L. Stine didn’t use offensive language. Were the 90s THAT long ago that todays kids would be confused by 90s slang as written by a man who was in his fifties at the time?
Wouldn’t they want kids of today to learn how people spoke casually just a few decades ago?
Hi. I'm a former Ride Operator. I have roughly 7 years of experience in the theme park industry, plus about 25 years of experience hyperfixating on the theme park industry.
I'm going to read some theme park fiction and see how wrong they are.
R.L. Stine's The Haunted Mask - the 1993 eleventh children's horror novel in the original Goosebumps series - is being turned into a graphic novel.
The 160-page graphic novel will be published on September 3 via Scholastic's Graphix. The adaptation is illustrated by Maddi Gonzalez, with colors by Corey Barba and lettering by Jesse Post.
How ugly is Carly Beth’s Halloween mask? It’s so ugly that it almost scared her little brother to death. So terrifying that even her friends are totally freaked out by it. It’s the best Halloween mask ever. With yellow-green skin and long animal fangs, the mask terrifies the entire neighborhood. Before long, it has a surprising effect on Carly Beth, too. She tries to take it off... but it won’t budge! Halloween is almost over, but fright night is just beginning.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-ACE instances are contained within their respective cans and placed within a storage containment cell at Site-AC. The room is always to stay at -500 degrees Fahrenheit with only AFA-2 units going into the room to ensure there are no malfunctions with the temperature and all cans containing SCP-ACE are still closed. Due to the volatile nature of SCP-ACE no testing shall be permitted at the moment.
Mobile Task Force Zeus-3 "The Monster's Blood Bank" are assigned to find and contain or if necessary, destroy any located SCP-ACE instances as they are still being found around the world.
Description: SCP-ACE is a gelatinous substance contained in tin cans, labeled "Monster Blood". The tin cans in general have no anomalous properties, but inside each can is an instance of SCP-ACE. SCP-ACE is slimy and cold to the touch like normal slime created by toy companies. Upon the first 24 hours of contact SCP-ACE is seemingly no different to toy slime, it can glow in the dark, is super sticky and dirty, can also be quite bouncy, slimy and cold to the touch, yet is extremely durable. However, after the 24 hours are up, SCP-ACE will start to get warmer and move on its own. SCP-ACE will start to eat whatever it can, mostly preferring to eat organic material such as humans and pets.
SCP-ACE is not above eating garbage, but only does so in desperation or to further grow its own mass. SCP-ACE will unfortunately grow regardless of how it eats; it just happens to grow larger the more it eats. It should be noted that when placed in cold temperatures it will start to shrink down and will even start to puke out its past victims as if they were never eaten in the first place. The name result happens when SCP-ACE is fed organic material such as plants like fruits and vegetables.
SCP-ACE doesn't just eat but can also be eaten, when an organism eats SCP-ACE it will suffer sudden growth depending on how much it eats. The growth rate can equate to a single ounce of SCP-ACE which leads to the organism growing twice its original size. However regardless of how much they eat they will always keep growing no matter what. The only way to stop the organism from growing is to have the core SCP-ACE instance shrink. If the organism ate the entirety of the SCP-ACE instance, then the only way for it to revert back to normal is for SCP-ACE is to expire. Each tin can contain SCP-ACE has an expiration date ranging from 1993 to 2154 so this is not always a reliable outcome to count on.
SCP-ACE was discovered in 1992 when a large green blob was reported in the suburban area of [data expunged]. Mobile Task Force Iota-10 "Damned Feds" were sent in to find SCP-ACE and the tin can, both of which were easily achieved. All involved members were amnestied with the proper amnestics and given Foundation compensation money for defeating SCP-ACE without the Foundation's help. Unfortunately, as the years have gone by more instances of SCP-ACE have been found all around the world including Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Russia, and even Egypt. Who created each SCP-ACE instance and why is unknown.
In response, Mobile Task Force Zeus-3 "The Monster's Blood Bank" was created to find them and contain them. Unfortunately, due to SCP-ACE's highly unstable anomalous properties even after containment SCP-ACE has proven extremely destructive and has led to massive damage on the public including some permanent casualties. It is for this reason that testing may never be permitted.
TV Review: #Goosebumps: "Letterman and Stoller use the sins of the past to haunt the future for these teenagers, & once the story unravels in episode four, it becomes a layered, well-crafted mystery. the perfect blend of everything that has come before."

As someone born in the ‘90s, the Goosebumps series by R. L. Stine was everywhere. His books have always centred on children experiencing obscure fantastical events. Each book had a creature that would be directly linked to how the characters in his novels were feeling. Stine often wrote parallels between grief and loss when constructing his supernatural stories. The…
So that was the skeleton's name! Curly! I knew he was on a lot of the Goosebumps merchandise (tied to the book series) in the 90s (When I was about twelve) but I don't remember him ever appearing in any of the books so I didn't know his name.
I even had a life-sized book-store cut-out of him in my room for many years until wear and tear just made him fall apart.
I finally learned his name. Curly. I just knew him as the Goosebumps skeleton, the mascot for the book series. The Wikia says he's the former mascot but if you collect the new figures each one comes with a piece of Curly so you can build him. I guess he's the mascot again even if his look is very much an early 90s look.
I think for a while they were trying to use Slappy (the evil ventriloquist dummy) as the mascot (since the 2015 Goosebumps movie) since Slappy is in the movies and at least three of the books and Curly was never actually in any of the novels. But nostalgia wins. Curly seems to be back.
For the new revival of Goosebumps R. L. Stine should write a Curly vs. Slappy novel. :-P Have Curly as the protagonist since Slappy is irredeemably evil.
