Geesebumps - a ”Did You Mean Goosebumps?” Podcast

Another week, another minibump! This week we're going over some news on Netflix's Fear Street saga movie series, and if you think it's news you could have gathered from context clues, you're wrong! Then we spend some time predicting what Deep Trouble will bring us. It's a delightful diversion from modern day life! Our next full episode is due to be out on February 9th! We're going to be reading R....

It's January, which means summer is here I guess, and what better way to celebrate than by going to the scariest theme park in the world, Horrorland!

We thought we were done talking about Say Cheese and Die! (Goosebumps #4) but we were wrong. We met up to discuss some of the finer points about Say Cheese and Die! we missed out on the first time.

Today on Geesebumps we are looking at R.L. Stine's Night of the Living Dummy, which is not about Slappy the dummy, takes place over multiple nights, and is barely about anything substantive. Also, did you know that it's Dumpster, not dumpster? Also, enjoy our Andrew Dice Clay dummy impressions, oh! The next episode comes out on January 5nd, 2021! Have nice holidays!  You can support Geesebumps by...

This year, 2020, the year that refuses to stop, R.L. Stine released the first entry in a new Garbage Pail Kids children's book series, Welcome to Smellville. We have made grim plans to read this particular R.L. Stine joint, but until such time, we are going to play a little game I'm calling the Garbage Pail Kid-nundrum. Can you do better than us? The next episode comes out on December 22nd, 2020!...

R.L. Stine's young adult thriller, The Babysitter, is going to be turned into a TV show. We struggle to find out how.

It's all the goofs you asked and more! The next episode comes out on December 22nd, 2020! We're going to be...

We've now read eight of R.L.

Bad news, ya'll. R.L. Stine wrote Werewolf Skin (Goosebumps #60), and did an absolutely amazing job. We go over the troubling realization that Werewolf Skin may very well be the best Goosebumps book, we discuss the ins-and-outs of being a werewolf, and our various R.L. Stines do a super-saiyan fusion. There's a lot of goofs here. Enjoy! The next episode comes out on December 8th, 2020! We're going...

In preparation for our upcoming episode on R.L. Stine's Werewolf Skin (Goosebumps #60), we invited Steve and Emmy, the hosts of Misfits and Mysteries . Together, with their brave assistance, we go through the baffling, convoluted, absolutely unassailable plot of "Werewolf Skin" parts 1 and 2, and we get more and more baffled. These episodes are bonkers. You can support Geesebumps by following us o...

It's cold and flu season so what better time to go through one of the scariest, illness based works in R.L. Stine's canon, Don't Ever Get Sick at Granny's. We talk Jilly Juice, cleansing, the dangers of water intoxication, unflattering dream sequences, and overnight cold cures. As a note, these are all things that are dangerous for you and though Danielle and Joe-Joe are doctors, they are not medi...

This wasn't a spooky book in any way, and in fact is pretty darn far from Goosebumps and the like, but as it turns out much like Jordan Peele, Robert Stine started his writing career as a humorist under the name "Jovial" Bob Stine. We recount two of his books in this episode How to Be Funny and 101 Vacation Jokes. These are both just... You can support Geesebumps by following us on twitter @Geeseb...
