i loved the goosebumps books because they were advertised as being super scary and then you’d read it and it’d be like. fifth grade reading level goofy dialogue dumb twist endings what have you. except there would be one thing somewhere in every book that you would think about before going to sleep every night for like five years after

#not even necessarily a scary thing. just a thing that sticks in your head #my Things were the cover of ‘you can’t scare me’ and the magic snowballs from ‘the abominable snowman of pasadena’ #like i wasn’t scared of that i was just curious about how it like. worked. if it was magic or what

I've mentioned this before, but I actually really LOVE that one comic with parents taking pictures of their kid with their smartphones as he grows up, to the point that he draws both of them with phones for their heads.

Like?

Bruh, my mom took so many pictures of me growing up that it was one of my biggest pet peeves for a good few years--I can assure you, taking pictures of your kids isn't something that was made up by the iPhone generation.

#rhys-ravenfeather signing on #okay to reblog #funnily enough i remember there's a part in the goosebumps book the abominable snowman of pasadena 1/2 #2/2 where the main character mentions that when he was a baby his photographer dad took so many pictures of him #3/3 that when he saw him WITHOUT his camera in front of his face for the first time he screamed

Twisted Wonderland Incorrect Quote #26

Goosebumps!Writer Y/N

Y/N is a very reclusive person who who keeps to themselves in their room to write, however, Deuce, Ace and Grim broke into their room and found dozens upon dozens of books with titles they’ve never heard of and when Ace opened one of them, a giant furry monster shot out but G!W Y/N came in the nick of time to save them, now they’re driving back to NRC

Grim: What are you gonna do to us?

Goosebumps!Writer Y/N: Silence.

Grim: We can’t even ask questions-

Goosebumps!Writer Y/N: Shut UP!

Deuce: We were only trying to help-

Goosebumps!Writer Y/N: I told all of you to stay away, or something bad would happen. But that’s the problem with kids today. They don’t listen! You had to pick Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, you couldn’t have picked Little Shop of Hamsters

Ace: You’re them, aren’t you?

Everyone looks at Ace in confusion

Ace: Your that F/I. M/I. L/N person

Goosebumps!Writer Y/N: F/I. M/I. Who? I don’t know who that is

Ace: Oh, really? Well, just as well, because those books look like they just suck

Yuu, Yuuken, Yuuka and Y/N (All look at Ace like he’s an idiot): What are you doing?

Ace: I can’t decide… which I sounds even lamer, Monster Blood or Go Eat Worms!

Deuce: I’m so confused

Ace: From what I heard, you see the endings coming from a mile away. It’s like… stop trying to be this Stephen King guy, man-

Goosebumps!Writer Y/N (Slams harshly on the breaks, puts their car in park and looks directly at Ace): Let me tell you about Steve King. Steve King wishes he could write like me, and I’ve sold way more books than him. But nobody ever talks about THAT!!

Ace (Scared): Okay!

Goosebumps!Writer Y/N: WAY MORE BOOKS!!!

Not gonna lie, I thought this might be a little fun idea to get into

To help with any confusion F/I is First Initial, M/I is Middle Initial, and L/N is Last Name

*Goosebumps (2023) Season 2 Theories

I read that the producers were really interested in expanding the new Goosebumps series’s by adding in the other books, most definitely Night of the Living Dummy ones, and that’s awesome! I mean, think about it, Kanduu said he can unleash more monsters, weeeeeeell what if he meant the monsters from the other books! 🤩It’s the perfect seasonal plot for Season 2! He could unleash all the other monsters and we’d get them all for Season 2! Picture this:

Calling All Creeps!-This can be about Kanduu summoning all the monsters to awaken and them slowly coming alive.

The Girl Who Cried Monster-I wanted Margot to be the one to tell the others about the monsters coming back, but then I thought, maybe Allison should! We barely knew anything about her other than being Isaiah’s jealous girlfriend, so maybe this’ll give her some characterization and become a member of the group finally when she sees there’s more to life than just the social status of high school.

Monster Blood-One fan suggested this when they said that the dupes blood can be the monster blood, but what if it’s the blood of the monster the teens defeat and when they think they won, the blood slowly moves to its next host to possess!?

The Beast from the East-Those creatures (not all the monsters are caused by the monster blood mind you, some are original monsters from the temple that were unleashed) can play that overly complicated game of tag with the teens. Also, for those who read the books, if one of the “dupes” survived, the beasts will let them go as they’re “Level 3” players😉

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp-The monster blood gets on a lone wolf dwelling in a swamp and infects it turning them into a werewolf.

The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight-The monster blood gets ahold of a simple scarecrow that attacks people at midnight.

The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb-The monster blood gets onto to a mummy at an Egyptian exhibit in a museum that awakens it from its sleep.

Phantom of the Auditorium-The monster blood infecting an actor in the schools/town theatre’s play of “The Phantom of the Opera” and kidnapping people to be the only star.

Attack of the Mutant-The monster blood infecting a cosplayer at a comic con into the character from the graphic novel, but they’re evil and delusional to think everyone at the convention is the real deal.

The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena-The monster blood infecting a yeti statue outside of an ice cream parlor in Pasadena the teens were at for a traveling thing.

Vampire Breath-Not an actual vampire in the show per se, but what if a student accidentally created this kind of potion and it’s fumes turned people into blood sucking monsters!?

The Blob That Ate Everyone-The monster blood forming together to create a giant blob that consumes everything.

How to Kill a Monster-After finding out how all these monsters keep showing up, Margot will try to figure out a way to stop it from the spell book she now has. She’ll also use it throughout the season as a guide to look up the monsters and find other spells to repel them.

——————————————-

For the Night of the Living Dummy, these will go deeper into the Kanduu storyline when he now possess Mr.Bratt.

Night of the Living Dummy lll-This’ll pick up right where we left off with Mr.Bratt discovering Kanduu isn’t dead and getting possessed again. Poor guy can’t catch a break!

Slappy's Nightmare-This’ll deal with Kanduu before the war and how his life was growing up in the 19th century and he probably didn’t have a good life judging by that era (dirt poor? abusive parents, no friends, etc.) which got worse by the war.

Bride of the Living Dummy-This one I’m excited about cuz what if Kanduu had a love interest that they forgot about due to obtaining all that power, but then something triggered that memory. Maybe he sees all these happy couples (ex.Margot and Isaiah) and remembers his sweetheart, Mary Ellen! Maybe he’ll try to bring her back by using a doll he bought from a garage sale and going to her grave to say a spell to bring her back!? Or a teacher from the school falls for Mr.Bratt and Kanduu (still possessing him) will use her as the vessel to bring Mary Ellen back!

The Eternal Enemy was a mixed bag. I love everything about the cover art of the 90s paperback edition. The VCR-centric plot was unique and dated in the best of ways. This was definitely one of Pike’s weirdest, and it’s a shame the overall book felt rushed. The main character didn’t feel as vibrant as Pike’s protagonists typically do, and the twist relied on a momentum-stopping forty-page info dump just as things were getting really interesting. I know Pike was turning out books at a steady clip in the mid-nineties. His rate rivaled that of R.L. Stine. This might be the first one I’ve encountered that seemed like it was turned in too soon in order to meet a deadline. With a few more edits this could have been something significantly better. The meat of the story is there, but the execution was lacking. The info dumping felt like the stream-of-consciousness notes an author should make but never put in the actual story. I know this was adapted for The Midnight Club, and I am curious to see how they improved upon the concept. I would be giving this a much lower rating if it weren’t so fucking weird. Weird is what saved it, kept me engaged, and where it almost thrived.

Score: 2

Re/Reading a book from my childhood: The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena by R. L. Stine.

All my life, I’ve wanted to see snow.  My name is Jordan Blake. My life has been twelve years of sun, sand and chlorine. I’d never felt cold, ever – unless you count air-conditioned supermarkets. And I don’t. It doesn’t snow in the supermarket. Jordan wants to escape the heat of California and experience snow for the first time in his life. He gets his wish granted when his dad agrees to let…

Some Wise Words for Children’s Entertainers With Imposter Syndrome

Author: Self Worth Sam, Imposter Syndrome Expert

Article Highlight: Then there’s moments when you’re with adults (while not on the job) and someone asks, ‘what do you do for a living’ and even though your words may come out right, the feeling behind it indicates a lack of self-conviction. Again, feeling like a fraud and as though you’re about to be exposed for it.

Full Article:

I thought I’d never be a children’s entertainer, but I ended up hosting a handful of birthday parties in residential homes, public parks, community fairs and the like. 

For more than the first few times, I perspired. From the moment I departed my home, drove to the venue, entered the house or park area, greeted the parents, the kids and the dog, I sweated. They’re going to call me on my act. They’re going to expose and accuse me for being an imposter!

Imposter Syndrome affects many people, including entertainers, and particularly children’s entertainers. I’m not saying these kinds of entertainers are affected more so by the psychological condition of self-doubt despite being good at what they do, than others, I’m simply recounting my experience of being one and hopefully it will cast some light on my fellow entertainers of little angels and spoilt brats.

I know what you’re going through, even if you’re an experienced entertainer. You get to the event or venue and even though you’re truly prepared, and fairly good at managing a crowd of Oompa Loompas, you’re on mid to high alert for that moment when someone points the finger and accuses you of being a fake, of not a “real” entertainer, of not having a “proper job” (that one used to dig into my sides like a thorn), and shouting, “Sus! Sus! Sus!”

Then there’s moments when you’re with adults (while not on the job) and someone asks, ‘what do you do for a living’ and even though your words may come out right, the feeling behind it indicates a lack of self-conviction. Again, feeling like a fraud and as though you’re about to be exposed for it.

In addition to children’s birthday parties, I used to run special FX make-up parties, science themed parties, and even dress up as Frosty the Snowman and walk around Pasadena, California each Christmas with Grinch, Rudolf and the Abominable Snowman.

Now, when you’re wearing a costume and no one can see your face, you don’t mind what anyone thinks or says about you. A mask or costume can do wonders for reducing imposter syndrome, and it’s cheaper than therapy. 

But say your act doesn’t call for a mask, like mine did when I was hosting human beatboxing and sound effects birthday parties for kids, and people see you. They see right through you. They see the real you. And as genuine and personable as you may intend to be (or truly be), one little self-doubting thought in your own mind can drop your self-esteem in seconds, and you still have to complete the show. 

Fortunately, there are solutions for reducing imposter syndrome as a children’s entertainer. Firstly, remind yourself that it’s about those kids and making their day memorable. Forget your pride or shame and have some fun. 

Secondly, be 100% honest with everyone you work with. The parents, the kids and the dog. If anyone questions your competency or intelligence or whatever, reply along the lines of, ‘you’re right, sometimes I feel like I’m not good at what I do, but I am going to do my best to make sure you have a good time. Now, shall we get on with the show?’ 

Tim Gard CSP & CPAE, one of the greatest professional speakers I’ve ever met, once said, “no one can stop me from seeing the fun.” I like that. He has given thousands of presentations, traveled thousands of miles, stayed in countless hotels, and attended countless conferences, and when he came across a stressful or difficult situation, he’d choose to see the fun – not make fun of people, not have fun at other people’s expense, but see the fun in the situation and try to bring a smile to those around him. I think as children’s entertainers, remembering to see the fun is medicine for the soul, and imposter syndrome. 

Last weekend, I was Spaceman Sam for my nephew’s 4th birthday. I’d never been Spaceman Sam up until a month before the party, my sister texted me on Telegram: ‘Hey bro, will you entertain at my son’s birthday? It’s a space theme and you can be Spaceman Sam. Are you in?” (or words to that effect). I replied, "I'll see what I can do."

Here's what I came up with.

With not a lot of preparation, I jumped right in. I bought an astronaut suit online and recalled some icebreakers, games and activities for 4 year olds that might work. My sister originally said, ‘there will be my son plus 4 of his friends from kindergarten.’ Turned out to be 20 kids and all their parents. A little imposter syndrome perhaps at that moment? Would you believe it, no. Why? Because I’d learned to see the fun. Now go do the same, because imposter syndrome doesn’t stand a chance when your authentic in your heart and you make it about the kids.
