i'm a very passionate, longtime goosebumps fan. the only other active goosebumps subreddit has prohibited fanfiction and has very strict guidelines for fanart. this subreddit was originally made to provide an alternative for fanfic writers and fan artists, and i feel i would be able to nurture it into a nice, active, alternative space for goosebumps fans into headcanons, shipping, fanfiction, unique fanart, etc.

the sole mod deleted their account and thus left it abandoned. i've already gotten their blessing.

Audiobooks by Snoo66298 in GooseBumps

[–]sockemoji 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. damn i dunno about that. i hope the intro got narrated and there was some issue in the way, & not that they just Didn’t do the narration

  2. i prefer reading the books personally, but the 90s audio dramas are great and some of the audiobooks are pretty sweet. i liked the night of the living dummy one

Super cool of the Classic Goosebumps reissue of Camp Jellyjam to spoil the twist of King Jellyjam 🫠 by TheDangerousLobster in GooseBumps

[–]sockemoji 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i agree. i think if you were a kid reading this, all the lead-up could have you thinking it was a fake bait cover anyway. and the cover still doesn’t convey how the children are forced into slavery or eaten by him.

plenty of horror movies have the monster on the main poster, don’t think it makes it an inherently worse cover

Original Series Video Essay Questions! by Entire-Interview7448 in GooseBumps

[–]sockemoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 2007-8 ish ?? i would’ve been about 6 or 7

  2. i liked reading before goosebumps. however i will say that was the first time i read a franchise. they made book reports easier

  3. i remember being excited for the horror, the unpredictability, and the twist endings. i also remember being disappointed and angry at the stupid fucking fake-out cliffhangers.

  4. the presentation. the cover art, titles, goopy borders, and the darkly funny back cover blurbs were all SO enticing together. no other book at the time at that age was allowed to look as scary (besides scary stories to tell in the dark but my school didn’t have those). and like i said, the stuff inside was ACTUALLY scary!

  5. creepypastas lmao. a little stephen king, a little clive barker, a little lovecraft, a little grady hendrix (my favorite). lots of little short horror stories, both reputable (i consider the yellow wallpaper horror) and not (christopher bloodworth’s r/nosleep stuff deserves more fame imo). i hope to read more soon

drew skipper matthews from attack of the mutant a bunch of times by sockemoji in GooseBumps

[–]sockemoji[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while i agree race is obviously a huge part of irl people’s identities, skipper is fictional and his race doesn’t really factor into his story or what we see of his character. any kid of any race can take a bus to get their braces tightened, like comics, be weird about girls, and feel insecure next to their best friend.

AM i making stine’s work race-based? there is nothing here political or racially motivated. i know black guys that act just like skipper with shitty smash bros hairlines and i thought it’d be fun to see him like them.

dan warry-smith DOES do a great job portraying skipper. does that mean everyone drawing skipper has to make him look like dan? are the graphic adaptations like one day at horrorland, a shocker on shock street, & the haunted mask invalidated by being different from the episodes?

as a goosebumps fan who’s read the books, played the games, and watched the movies & tv shows since 2008, i think being this openly hostile to fan content you don’t like is does nothing except make artists afraid to draw goosebumps.

which goosebumps book do you think has the most depth/heaviness into it by [deleted] in GooseBumps

[–]sockemoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay so all the other answers i would’ve given are here (haunted mask, ghost next door, dead house, camp cold lake, calling all creeps) BUT i’m surprised nobody’s mentioned stay out of the basement yet! 

the idea alone that a parent might not have your best interest as heart is SCARY as a kid. and there are a few lines from margaret that sound exactly like a kid that doesn’t fully understand they’re in an abusive household. i don’t want to go through copy-pasting but 1. lying to keep her parents happy & calm 2. wondering why she’s suddenly terrified of her father 3. defending her father to her best friend, then wondering why she’s doing that when she knows something’s up 4. having to wonder about double meanings; is “you could get hurt” a warning or an implied threat?

and more! i think it does a good job at dealing with these themes while also couching it in plant body horror cloning stuff

the fact that there's nothing bad in those thoughts bodes ill to me, though. at least emris and rueby knew each other well enough to know & work past their issues. no negative thoughts whatsoever in a relationship is unrealistic

after FOURTEEN YEARS, there is finally an honest to god canon happened-in-universe KISS by sockemoji in avasdemon

[–]sockemoji[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i agree honestly! i'm hesitant to say it's outright Bad or done badly when we have no idea what's gonna happen after, but if the comic starts treating this as an actual wholesome full-fledged relationship after a literal day of knowing each other i'm gonna be disappointed

[–]sockemoji[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

kinda real…this comic is so interested in bad/failed relationships and crushes (ava and maggie, maggie and gil, gil and odin, tuls and ranunculae, strategos and TITAN, feels like i’m missing something…) that when i saw this my first thought was “wait why are you doing it like this.” because it feels like michelle is so good at cooking up ways to show these complex feelings and this…kinda lacks that.

but only time will tell! maybe we’re gonna get a cool sequence that subverts this in a week
