The Goo & The Gosling [Revisiting Goosebumps - Part 2]

What's Goosebumps like as an adult? In the second video in this series, we'll take a look at Monster Blood and Say Cheese and Die and see how they stack up today. Not just the books, but the TV adaptations as well! Yes, even the Goosebumps 2023 adaptation!

One of my favorite chapter cliffhangers (I don’t remember which book) was the line “those were my last words” and on the next page was immediately followed up with “well I thought those were my last words”
I remember ten year old me audibly laughing at the goofiness of that one

[bonbonbam]

I hope he gets to the story where it's a boot camp that makes perfect clones of the kids, sends those back, then traps the original ones as prisoners

[kenz]

the wording in this video leads me to believe that you are going to go over every single goosebumps book and show adaptation in the series, and i truly couldn’t be happier about that.

[LumpyTouch]

I really do love those original Goosebumps covers, thanks for taking the time to look at them/rate them!

[vahlok]

I gotta admit, I actually love reading and re-reading Goosebumps as an adult. They're cheesy, most of them aren't remotely scary, but they're infinitely charming and take me back to a simpler time in my life. They give me the warm fuzzies, feels good.

I was hoping you would continue exploring this series! Very glad to see this appear in my feed, it’s fun to see you branch off in different directions for videos, especially when you talk about a subject that you clearly care very much about. Happy Halloween!

The 'Say cheese and die' book always freaked me out. In the Dutch publications the cover had a girl taking a picture of a boy on the stairs and in the corner there was a polaroid of the boy lying on the floor with a bleeding head.
Monster Blood pictured the aunt with a knife with light coming from inside, making quite an unsettling image and Don't go into the basement pictured a boy being strangled by vines. There was another one with a girl working at a library and her boss would eat the animals kept there. The cover pictures the main characters spying on the boss in the foreground biting on the turtle.

John: “She keeps making these weird cat movements and it’s just silly.”

If you spent 30 years as a cat, you have weird cat movements too, lol.

[creatifproduction]

john's knowledge of every actor in a scene is rlly impressive lol ryan gosling appearing in goosebumps as a kid is surprising

John revisiting a series that I loved as a kid. This does put a smile on my face

[SNP]

One of my favorite new series to watch on YouTube. Already addicted to these reviews. Absolutely love these nostalgic throwbacks with John.

[BigMac]

Gotta say John, this is my favorite series you’ve done on your channel. You also look alot happier doing these too, and that’s what it’s all about! Looking forward to the next one in the series

Say Cheese and Die was so good! For those who want a more adult version of this story, read Joe Hill’s story “Snapshot”

[RainbowRexxy]

Sarabeth - a name so nice, he used it twice (actually he used it more than twice across all his series which always stands out to me because I've never heard of anyone being named Sara Beth unless they're in the Stineverse).

[spiggbo]

I nearly choked on my water when I saw Sara Beth the "witch" practicing dark magics in 80's leather pants and 6in combat boots lmao 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

Here to support John's increasingly unhinged reviews of Goosebumps

[Emily-xkdu]

I am LOVING these Goosebumps videos sm, John getting to showcase a childhood classic, he's super funny in them, and I love how he rounds it out with extra info tidbits - like for the Say Cheese and Die books, how the publisher made RL Stine write in a scene based on the cover and the inspiration from the Twilight Zone episode. It's very entertaining, thank you, John <3

JOHN I OWE YOU MY LIFE. I was just rewatching the first video since I love your clear (but onbrand snarky) affection you have for the series. It shines with your observations and commentary and I really do hope this is a series. Praying that you, one day, will do one about Give Yourself Goosebumps because I lived for that stuff. Toy Terror: Batteries Included and Tick Tock, You're Dead! were the shit.

[wumimew]

this is definitely one of my favorite series you've ever done, these are just so fun to watch! i've even rewatched the first one a few times, I hope you do more goosebumps videos!! <3

So happy you decided to keep doing these. Your reviews is something I didn’t know I needed
