- Today we sat down and watched GOOSEBUMPS to see if it's scary or if it's a flop. Based on the books by R.L. Stine, this 90s TV anthology series was famous for being "horror for kids", at least before 3 AM UA-camrs took over the scene lol. Can a creepy mask really haunt you? Why are the babies talking? And what is the Slappy LORE? Watch this Halloween special to find out...

Quite honestly, The Haunted Mask actually scares me to this day, but not because of any of the scares or visuals.
The idea of being transformed into someone else by something that you can't control terrifies me more than anything else. While receiving chemotherapy, it messed with my brain so much that I became a different person, but it wasn't me. I've since recovered and am all right now, but I hate the idea that my mind can be altered by the stuff that is supposed to be saving my life. That's what scares me about The Haunted Mask-the idea that you can become someone that you're not.
Same reason I try to stay away from substances
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you change from chemo?
that kinda just sounds like a metaphor for life in general
@@anth636 I'm pretty open about it.
The types of chemo and radiation that I was on caused a lot of pain, so I was put on a lot of different supplements to ease the suffering. However, I do not react well with most types of medication. I'm usually a very bubbly, happy person. The meds changed me into a very angry, suspicious, paranoid person who cut off her entire family. After I got off of the medication, I saw how horrific my behavior was, even if I can't remember most of it clearly. I now refuse most forms of medication, except for a few Tylenol here and there to ease some residual nerve pain from my treatment. Fortunately, my family understood that I had not been myself for around six months, and everything is a lot better now.
I hope you are okay!! Yeah the Haunted Mask is still the most scary one for me but it's only because it looks scary to me.
The scariest one for me is the one where some kids used some lotion that slowly turned them into dogs, and the protagonist had to watch as his family replaced him with an adopted baby after he turned into a Golden Retriever.
If I remember right, the lotion was actually a red hearing; they were always dogs that had been experimented by a scientist, and the formula that turned them Human just sort of gave up and they turned back into dogs because of it. The adopted baby was the main boy's cat the same scientist turned Human.
@@DingoWalley01 that's more accurate to what I remember from the book tbh. the kid thought him and his friends were being turned into dogs but they were dogs all along, I'm pretty sure the lotion was supposed to keep them as kids, not entirely a red herring but def less expected
All I remember of this is the johntron video about it.
@@drakenforge4276 can't a guy get a little privacy in here? HMMM HMM, HMMM HMMM HMMMM
please larry you don't understand
I’m glad Microwave Society decided to make the aspect ratio 4:3 to preserve the integrity of Goosebump’s creative vision
aaaaaand, would it have not perserved the integrity of goosebumps creative vision if they hadn't?
@@imactuallykools I’m referencing the Synder Cut lol
@@tonybippitykaye what is that?
@Gravestone999 I'm already sitting
@Gravestone999 done
I love how the aspect ratio matches the series, and they lowered the quality. Brilliant.
I was just about to say this. It's a lovely attention to detail.
@Gravestone999 yes. Very Zachary Snydernian.
I can imagine they edited the ratio so the footage wouldn't look jarring by constantly swapping. To my memory, the ratio on the show was never upscaled. The quality thing may have just been then rolling with it.

As a writer, I briefly considered having the line from the Goosebumps movie "Do you have any idea how many books I'd have to write to hold all the monsters I've created?" as my senior quote.
But then they never asked me what my senior quote should be and the spot was just left blank in the yearbook.
Well, that kinda sucks!
i'll make that my senior quote in your honor
Me too
they thought you would just tell them like i wouldnt just tell them id be too scared for some reason to ask

The scariest episode when I was a kid was “let’s get invisible” because the character would walk into a mirror and get transported into some weird mind altering dimension with loud whispers
That one was really strange, I remember it well and I found it very eerie.
My favorite episode!🤩My next fav is"An Invisible Friend"...the story itself seemed pretty lame and annoying...until the final twist!😱
I loved the part where he went “It’s bumpin time!” And goosebumped on the bad guys
Truly the moment of cinematic history.
He who? Stine?
The joke works if you say who the person is
@@jareththegoblinking3191 Goosebumps said it, duh.
My favorite moment is when slappy said "It's slappin time!" And slapped everyone! Truly one of the moments of all time.
@ Ramjet45 The best part is Slappy would definitely say that
Slappy was one of the reasons I was scared of puppets and realistic dolls as a child
I’m scared of like non-killer dolls but I’m not scared of Chucky. Send help.
I still wanna buy a slappy doll ngl
When I was a kid the episodes "Werewolf of Fever Swamp" and "Werewolf Skin" scared the fuck out of me, mainly because the erratic movements the werewolves would make and just how creepy the costumes were lmao
The Werewolf of Fever Swamp is the only episode that scares me. The atmosphere throughout it is so good.
Werewolf skin got me a bit yoo
The episode that scared me the most as kid was the episode where two boys were tricked by their grandma to eat cookies that made them older and the grandma younger, that shit gave me an existential crisis at 9
An Old Story it was called, and it wasn't their grandma, it was their aunt. But yeah, it was really chilling to see that back then, but now it's seen as creepy because...look at it this way: two boys are being turned into old folks to be given away to two old ladies. That is some of the most messed-up stuff I've ever seen in a kid's show.
@@ArkhamVI Riiiiiight, thanks man, yea some of the episodes were fucked 💀
That episode started my fear of old people
They should try “the haunting hour” it’s like when goosebumps tried making a show for older kids. I’m pretty sure they had an episode with alien cheeseballs
Then there’s the pumpkin head episode
And Bloody marrie
Pretty sure I had seen the haunting hour one time really late at night and it was about some ice cream guy who was kidnapping and killing children
The one with the mascot always stuck with me
@@normalhuman9878 That one was supposed to have a part 3 but the show got cancelled or something, so we never got to see how, or if, they'd defeat the mascot or whatever
I used to have only two goosebumps episodes on VHS, and i got to be honest it was one of my favorites
It was "Stay out of the Basement," and it really was something else
While a few parts looked cheesy, It really had a certain atmospere the whole time, having such a enthralling mystery and some pretty good scenes too. Some of the stuff back then really made me wonder "This was for kids?!"
Honestly I just wanted to write this down because of Goosebumps
What was the other one?
If it was a night in terror tower, you are either my older sister, or we are the same person.
Omg, Stay Out of the Basement is the only one I had, and I know at least five people who also only had that one. So weird! It’s such a good one, though.
The meaning of it has changed for me over the years. At the time, the idea of a parent turning into a scary person you couldn’t trust was TERRIFYING to me. Now that I’ve grown up and work with kids, I’ve realized that it’s something a lot of kids deal with in real life. I’m sure RL Stein isn’t writing this stuff to be deep and insightful, but that one comes into my mind a lot.
The book " stay out of the basement " actually had a bit of blood and violence
Jude singing “Hot Dog” and doing Goofy’s dance got me laughing, Imagine you watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episodes sometime in the future
Oh toodles
@@cheezit2398 miska mooska Mickey Mouse!
Oh I would love that!
Ukraine during kherson offensive: this (blitzkrieg) is a surprise tool that will help us later
Oh, Gwarsh!
“Piano Lessons Can Be Murder” will forever be one of my favorite episodes because of just how weird it is. I still quote “Beautiful hands!” to this day.
ok yosikage kira from jojo. /j
Despite watching that when I was a kid, always thought it was a fever dream I tricked myself into thinking was real
I honestly was a lot more freaked out by the haunting hour. Mainly because the kids actually died in that show.
10:23
“Hello”
“b a b y”
*steals child*
Idk why but I laughed so hard at this
These guys are like the reality tv of UA-cam in the best way possible, and I love it!
The thing about '90's Goosebumps is that it was a TV show in the '90's. You can depict violence but it had to be bloodless. You can lop off heads but the decapitation has to occur offscreen. Your character can use a gun but can't kill people with it.
the night of the living dummy episodes genuinely scared me. Not really this one but the one where the kid gets turned into a dummy. I think it's called "Bride of Slappy" or something
That was the Night of the Living Dummy 3 where Zane was turned into a dummy and then at the end was possessed by Slappy when he was taken home
@@silverneon4675 fun fact Zane was played by Hayden Crisdensin who is well known by playing Anakin Skywalker
Top 3 best episodes of goosebumps
1. Stay out of the basement
2. The ghost nextdoor
3. The haunted mask
@8:39 i will NEVER be over bren making that face, while chewing.
he looks so mad XD
As a nascar fan. The nascar part was so funny!🤣 at 8:27
2:22 JESSE, WE NEED TO COOK HALLOWEEN CANDY.
The werewolf episode scared me the most as a kid. Mostly cuz I lived in a small town in the middle of the woods, scary movies with a forest setting always freaked me out.
Bren's eyebrows at 4:04 cracked me up because of how surprised he actually was lol
At where? I can't find it.
@@hongxiuquan69cuz he timestamped it a second after. it’s 4:03
The thing about goosebumps for me is that it wasn’t necessarily scary but there were some really tense episodes that had me on edge as a kid
“One Day at Horrorland” is by far the best Goosebumps episode, that episode was maaad scary when I was little and imagining if that was real was the icing on the cake lol
As a kid growing up on both old timey mystery shows, and Goosebumps, it was always a trip to see Fritz from Nero Wolfe as the mask salesman
As someone who read the books obsessively as a kid, the book version of the last episode you guys watched was SCARRING to me. That dummy is a gaslighting genius and the show did him so dirty
I used to be terrified of the whole ventriloquist dummy thing, but then I started learning about them and figuring out how to make them, and it's really fun to scare other people now.
Not gonna lie, a lot of Goosebumps really got to me as a kid. Then there were episodes where I absolutely hated the cliffhangers and wanted to see more. It was always one of those two.
I remember watching this and getting so scared about the gnome episode that I couldn't go to the bathroom because I thought gnomes were behind the toilet
The haunted mask was so terrifying to me as a kid I couldn't handle it but kept watching it. I'm proud to say I finally watched that full episode last year and it's still creepy, as well as the second one.
I used to be one of the people who worked at a haunt on the knee pads. It is a good gig and I had a blast. It legit scared everyone. Also, the floating mask thing in the first one was the scariest part of that episode to me as a kid.
Sameeee the floating masks scarred me
0:20 really sounding like "the fitnessgram pacer test is a multistationary test which gets progressively faster as it continues"
8:47 bro looks like the kid from shark boy and lava girl, like what are you gonna do? Ask for the baby to get suspended 💀
6:11 the pog pot

As a guy who has dedicated their entire life to Goosebumps, I don’t know what to say besides this video is pretty awesome.
Goosbumps really looks and feels like Creepshow and I love both. Especially Creepshow 2 during the short 'The Raft'. It was genuinely creepy.
Currently on an 8 hour bus ride on the way to Tampa, FL for a marching band competition. This video is serving as a ray of hope while in this pit of hell. Keep doing days!
11:17 I am pretty sure the first one was in the books because the tv show was passed off the books
I love how aggressive all their jokes are, i'm genuinelly needing my inhaler to watch this channel
I love ur pfp so much 🤠

If you think Goosebumps is scary, you MUST watch R.L. Stines The Haunting Hour... tbh I liked it when I was younger, and now I just find it hilarious and I like it even more because of it
It was really funny when people said “this joke is deadin time!” And deaded the joke all over the place.
Deaded?
I love the part where they said its goosing time and they goosebumped on the bad guys.
There was a pretty good twist in one episode, about a kid who thought his camp counselors were evil aliens, only to find out the camp and their planet wasn't on earth.
Their...planet...wasn't on Earth?
@liamsteam walsh yeah that's right I'm tired.
Scariest episode was definitely Werewolf of Fever Swamp. Not because of the monster or visuals or anything, but it really captures this sense of dread, emptiness, small town remoteness and desolation that still holds up today. Like the movie Gummo or something harmony korine made. The atmosphere of the episode is really fucked. The eerie music, the emptiness, the scary ass wolf noise in the distance.
2:35 made me laugh a lot
3:56 When the kid who vaped/smoked tries to inhale while talking to you 15 years later.
the first ever VHS-compatible mws video no way
9:31 I was not expecting that guitar riff to be stock, and now another piece of my childhood is a lie. I heard it in LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts for the Ripcord Rescue level.
the fear of having a mask stuck on my face still haunts me to this day thank you microwave men
0:18 If Krusty the clowns voice actor passes away I know who I want to replace him
The Haunted Mask still scares me still to this day. It did not help this epsiode was the very first one to show on tv back in the day but it kept airing alot for Halloween. It was even on Cartoon Network at some point. The idea is very much creepy since anyone can fall prey to this Mask and it becomes your face. You really can't beat this monster unless you truly love yourself or have a Symbol like the main character did.
Also the Mask itself is very creepy and well made. Terrifying. I never seen anything like it ever. No other mask has ever scared me like this one. The head is also creepy. The effects for it aren't that great but I think that is what makes it even more disturbing. But for it's time I think it's fine. I don't think this episode would be as good if it came out today.
No other Goosebump episode scares me. Just this one. Even the book and VHS cover scares me. Whoever brought the design to life for the main Mask did their job. The other ones are also very creepy especially when they start to float. Just no.
I think RL Stine has said this was his favorite espiode. And the idea came from his own kid not being able to take his own Halloweem mask off.
The ceramic head talking is the most cursed thing I ever saw as a kid (aside from the Return the Slab episode of Courage), and it still haunts me.
The books were always scarier than the show for me, but I guess the key part there is my imagination.
Top three scariest for me would be the barking ghosts, the egg monsters from mars, and horrorland.
The one where a kid literally lays an egg sticks with me for some reason...
When I was in middle school, the teachers would put on Goosebumps and I always got scared because I thought they were real stories. Even hearing the intro made me scared. If I heard it body would shut down.
6:43 bro rlly just did the plants vs zombies huge wave sound
Goosebumps haunting hour had a pretty solidly scary creepy doll episode called Lilly D returns. They used a life sized American Girl doll for maximum uncanny valley. Chucky had nothing on this. The doll would take off her wig to make you think she was in front of you, but she was actually behind you with a knife, so much tension
Out of all the goosebumps stories, the night of the living dummy was always my favorite ones
Missed opportunity to watch the best 2 episodes, monster blood.
FIRST MICROWAVE SOCIETY SWEARRR 11:24
Pretty sure he said thought not fuck.
this is a certified Goosebumps moment.
I think the idea of the living mask is what scared everyone. Just the thought of being turned into someone by means you can’t control. That’s pretty freaky, and I bet the idea is done better in the book
Also WHERE IS THE EPISODE WHERE THEY ALL TURN INTO DOGS LOVE THAT ONE
I remember when I was like 11 my cousins kind of peer pressured me into watching this even though I hated anything scary. We ended up watching the chucky episode and I couldn't sleep for years. Dolls coming alive is my worst nightmare.
Edit: I commented this before they watched the third episode. I watched that one too
Honestly, when I watched the episode for the blob that ate everyone I actually had a nightmare about the creature
I'm pretty sure I was told that strained peas was a metaphor for lone children, children who are the only one in the household, who suffer from abandonment issues when they worry about being replaced and see a "demon" in the new child because of their fear of not being the only one.
The episode that terrified me the most was the one with the Sponge.
Bruh I have so many weird memories of the goosebumps show, like there was one where the 2 main kids of the story were at a cemetery by a beach and their friends showed up and scared them but then a dog showed up and started barking at them and they faded out into cg skeletons saying stuff like "run it'll get you too" before disappearing into the ground.
6:07 had me laughing more than I ever had
I grew up watching the show and reading the books and I just recently rewatched the TV show and I agree that this could be scarier but it was terrifying to me as a kid.
Just recently found your videos, they’re hilarious 😂
7:38 "Strange Peas" in the captions when he clearly says strained
Something about your alls' simple editting style and how you joke around like I would when making fun of media makes me think we would be great friends lol.
Just discovered you all and have had a great time watching you guys roast all my childhood favorites xD
Just say y'all 🤣
14:23 where he made that angry birds sound got me laughing 😂 😂
💀
6:00 (🗿)
see, I’m already a fan of you guys and your videos, but this one was not only hilarious, but a VIBE
(4:3 VHS👌🏻😔)
I actually remember watching Creeped Out on CBBC (don't judge me), when I came across an episode with the EXACT SAME PLOT as Strained Peas. There was a new baby and it possessed some superhuman abilities, with the older sibling finding out the baby was an alien without being able to show their parents. And it ended just as frustratingly.
I remember one of my favorite Goosebumps two-parters (as well as one of my favorite Goosebumps books) as a kid was The Werewolf of Fever Swamp. I wouldn't say that it's necessarily scary by nowadays standards (which I didn't mind when I was younger, since I was such an anxious kid and it took me a long time before I could handle horror media that wasn't kid horror movies/books), but it was a fun book full of suspense and cute floofy doggos! ^^
12:34 … *the silence is loud*
I grew up on these. My favorite was the scarecrow walks at midnight.
One of the great things about The Haunted mask episode was that at some point in time 1 of the bullies says that they hate something, it was raisins or peanuts or something, And in The Haunted mask 2, The main character of the story was one of the bullies, the younger I think, and he hands the older bully some candy at some point and the bully looks at the candy and throws it away mentioning that it has that thing he hates in it. So the continuity is maintained within the Goosebumps universe
The second-hand claustrophobia I got from this as a kid was terrible. The idea of not being able to take off a mask is actually horrifying

It gave me chills as a kid, but I still like Goosebumps despite me being apart of Gen Z
However I still don’t understand how people got so passionate about Slappy when he is just a doll that plays sinister pranks. I was more intimidated by villains in The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, The Haunted Mask, and House of the Dead.
I think cause Slappy is the face of goosebumps other than the Werewolf and Mask. Those are the monsters that people remember the most.
@@TheYoungGeninSasuke your not wrong. I am a little concerned Goosebumps has gone too far with just Slappy as a main character/villain.
The scariest Goosebumps episodes for me were; Night Of The Living Dummy, Stay Out Of The Basement, and Welcome To Dead House. But another show that freaked me out(even to this day) is "The Haunting Hour." I would love to see you guys react to that.
Also the Goofy imitation at the end had me rolling, it was so funny.
There are two episodes that freak me out when I was younger. The Librarian and the super Ant Colony.
