This series is an absolute dumpster fire, based on what I’m seeing every single big Goosebumps fan is hating this. As a queer person the constant “This character’s personality trait is gay” in these shows really rubs me the wrong way, the teen drama being the core element is a mess, the adaptation of The Haunted Mask is horrendous to me as a fan of that book. (Also the references to porn and serial killers? Like if you’re going to age up Goosebumps go harder with the scares, not the teen drinking and sexual dialogue)
Man, I’m so glad I’m seeing more folks like yourself come out and call it like it is. You know who was a phenomenal gay character, and the writers were smart enough not to make it her personality? Theo from the Haunting of Hill House on Netflix. There’s a humongous difference between a wonderful character like Theo and someone obnoxious and stereotyped as someone like James, whom gets on my last nerve lol. It’s such a disservice to everyone it’s supposedly trying to represent, and it’s exactly why I hate Disney. Thank you for an awesome comment lol.
I would also like to add to your comment that I can't stand when horror movies in general always portray teenagers the exact same way, always being sex crazed party goers with alcohol and looking for trouble and make careless mistakes that result in scary things happening to them. Like is there really no other more interesting characteristics to teenaged characters they could come up with???
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I was so surprised by your opinion on this show. You're such an open minded reviewer when it comes to things you see, so to see the way you reacted must've meant this was really terrible haha!
I’m watching this as of now and I can’t believe the racial and overused stereotypes and pretty bad dialogue just in the first 15 minutes alone 💀💀I’ll come back and add to this when I’m done - update: everything that could’ve been wrong/bad pretty much was
100% agree, made it 10 minutes in, and turned it off when I saw it basically was exaclty what i was afraid it would be. Just another example of all the things wrong with "entertainment" made for "modern audiences". Besides the fact that its biggest crime is being incredibly boring and dull to the point of complete uninterest, there is also no actual plot, no story, no character developmemt, just a bunch of things happening with unlikeable, undeveloped characters with tons of leftist woke BS. I agree with what you said regarding the dialoge, I absolutely can't stand the constant millenial/Gen Z quippy joke heavy dialogue, with all those annoying inflections, just everyone in general not talking like actual people talk. And I was just waiting to see how long it would take for the first gay character to appear whose only personality trait would be "I'm gay" and it beat my own expectations with how quickly that happened. Also, I hate how subversive and sexual they had to make it. Either make it in the spirit of the original and be kid friendly, or make it fully for adults and ramp up the horror. Especially as someone with small children, it makes me feel gross to see this advertised as somethint more for children and then to see the amount of sexual or subversive things in it. Typical Disney on that though, i guess. What an absolute turd, like most everything else that has been made in the past decade or so.
Yeah, man, it’s a gigantic shame that this cast weren’t treated better with a better script. Really bothers me the direction Disney chose to take this piece of crap.
Hey there, thank you for that! I know people will have different tastes and everything, but I’m disgusted by the activists and bad actors that have come in, over the last week, to trash the real fans that may not like the show lol. Ive been called every name in the book, this week, for it 😂
I'm right there with you. I voiced my concerns that Disney would royally mess this up because they wanted to take over a beloved property and turn it into a pandering Riverdale abomination of a series wearing a Goosebumps skin. Extremely disappointing yet I saw this a mile away. The pain, Michael. The pain! 😂
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I knew it was going to be awful from the start. This show was nothing but a quick cash grab. Whoever made this show knows nothing about Goosebumps, because this new series ISN'T Goosebumps! This is the trend nowadays: throw in some political, woke, SJW stuff, some awful scriptwriting, and profanity and they think they got a hot commodity . . . .um, no, it's trash!
I'm not even surprised that Disney would ruin this. If it's as bad as you say then I don't even think I will give it a chance because I typically look at reveiws before I watch something. I wish Disney would go back to caring about their fans.
Man, you should see the guys in the discord hahah. Completionist and I have been mocking it for hours hahah. We’re both shocked by how horrible it is. The fall of Disney is the greatest example of mismanagement I have ever seen in my life lol.
@@doctorvondoom5797 Did both companies produce this product? Because I don’t understand why people like yourself pretend like the difference would matter. This was an awful work produced by both companies, and it craps all over Goosebumps. Disney AND Sony are trash.
I can't believe how much potential was wasted, honestly I'm not very surprised as it is Disney. All they had to do with this episode was just focus mainly on the cursed camera with all the terrifying events it predicts, but my main concern is why it had to be Disney. Even Netflix potentially could of made a promising well-adapted Goosebumps show just like how they did with One Piece and Creeped Out. Such a big let down!
Is it woke because there's a black lead or a gay guy in it? You can't even complain that the characters were racewapped becuase its only taking ideas from the books not characters. Everything seems fine, and the story is interesting/funny for the first episode. At this point you're whinning to whine.
@@TempestKnight16 No, it’s woke because of all the political ideology all over the screen that people like yourself play dumb about. Environmentalist alarmism all over the walls of the schools, constant mentions of the patriarchy. This is propaganda in a children’s show and you’re defending it. Any other type of fundamental nonsense, and you’d lose your freaking mine on Twitter or something. But keep licking that boot, pal.
Michael, why does your commentary sound better than the whole of the first episode? I'm gonna cry, why does this sound like a movie I would see in a cinema and only one person shows up because of a younger sibling wanted to watch, but the older sibling was away and a babysitter had to take the kid? It sounds as if this series is going to stink! P.s. god bless you, man!
Probably because Disney’s quality has dropped so heavily, since endgame came out, that everyone is noticing it, finally hahah. What a horrible company. I figured this show would be bad, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how horrible this has been, so far lol. I talked to Completionist through the second episode, and his rants were absolutely hilarious. Can’t wait to see what he posts about it lol. You guys will get a kick out of it. Thanks for watching and God bless you, as well!
No one can explain, Michael, that Disney+ only released episodes 3 and 4, there is no one and two, or even five. Is this the same with you? Or is this just like an Australian thing? I honestly feel like I’m watching the Star Wars film series with all the films dropping in a random order. Michael, I don’t think, after I finish watching the whole series, that I’ll watch anything on Disney+ ever again. If they ruin Slappy, how you described the haunted mask, I’m going to scream. Community, pray for all of us!
@@anotheraussiegoosebumpsfan I will never rewatch this trashfire, either hahah. I didn’t want a Disney plus account, and had no clue it would be on Hulu. Every episode was on Hulu, so far.
All they had to do with the episode was just focus on the camera and show many different horrifc events yet to happen. Honestly the part when the main guy got his arm broke and his bone sticking out, it did gave me chills cause I didn't expect that.
That poor man deserves so much better than this crap. I love Stine so much. I know he defended the Fear Street movies, and we can argue about the quality of those movies all day long, but the people defending this Goosebumps show almost never mention how it’s nothing like Goosebumps.
I have only watched one episode but I feel like it has let me down. It feels like goosebumps is the big name they chose but it feels like a teen drama with forced gen z jokes. I like they included the plot and story with the boy dying in the fire so hopefully they can incorporate it into the goosebumps side of things. At the moment feels more like a teen horror drama thing rather than goosebumps
Man, I’m three episodes in, and it hasn’t improved at all, for me hahah. Gonna watch some more, whenever I get home, later lol. Such a bummer. I was really hoping I’d be proven wrong, for once.
It’s disgusting how they’ve completely taken-over all of Hollywood. They never make money off of this kind of trash, man, and they continue to lose money and STILL continue to make these horrible choices. Goosebumps just got Last Jedi’d lol. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the support, man.
#1: Teen drama belongs to Fear Street, not Goosebumps, and #2: Stine never used profanity in Fear Street, but these people decide to use that in this new Goosebumps TV series---GOOSEBUMPS? What in the hell were they thinking?
They don’t think, man. This is a great example of people that DO NOT understand or care about the source material we all love, and therefore, they decided to ruin it for the sake of making money. I’m amazed at how much money Disney has lost, and somehow they haven’t learned their lesson lol.
Now you've read all the Goosebumps books I have a request: What's your 1. Favourite book 2. Scariest book 3. Funniest book 4. Goriest book 5. Book w/ the best vibe Thank you Michael!
One thing I did appreciate about the first episode is at least the camera this time looks more like an actual old time camera, whereas the 90's adaptation just looked extremely weird and too sci-fi. The camera being more normal looking actually makes it more scary to me personally
Man, oh man... This shows first 5 episodes were nothing short of disappointing. The acting is quite terrible, especially the male teen characters (I'm especially looking at you, Lucas!)
I'm a 90s kid I grew up with goosebumps books and the TV show on fox kids, I'm a big goosebumps fan, I was very optimistic about the new 2023 series and after just finishing it I am very very dissapointed, the budget looks decent the delivery was awful I think fans made films could do a much better job
There’s actually a Haunted Mask short fan film on UA-cam (I don’t remember the channel), but I made a video about it years ago. Really solid, and manages to feel like Goosebumps whilst also having an adult, and dark, tone. Sad to see such a high budget be squandered lol
I am sooooo thankful I watched the first episode myself and not with my kids. I had very very low expectations given Disney and Hollywoods track records on reboots. They managed to shoot so far below my expectations it’s disgusting. My 8 and 5 year old love when I read my old goosebumps books to them and there’s absolutely no way in hell I would let them watch this absolute trash show. I am so over Disneys propaganda push. Anything they can do to help forward the lbgtq agenda 🤮 As expected they took goosebumps in name only to try and sell their garbage. These books are not able to woven together so I’m not surprised at how dismal their attempt at a story was…
I feel like…. Like if a show made you part of the LGBTQ community you was already part of that community anyways. The idea a show could make you do anything or be part of anything absurd. We all watch John wick and none of us went and learned how to be a assassin lmao
I tried to watch this show but turned it off when the worm slithered into that man's bum in episode 4... I highly doubt RL Stine would ever write something like that. This show is a stain on the goosebumps franchise
I agree with all of the flaws this show has so far (Haunted Mask seriously looks like a Gremlin). I still really enjoy it though. I have a feeling that it'll stray more into actual Goosebumps as it goes along
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing hahah. I jumped right onto discord while I was watching the first episode and everyone in the group were just starting to watch it. None of them could believe it, either, and I think there was only one of the guys in the group that actually liked it hahaha. There’s no way this show will get a season two. Disney will bury this show.
I KNEW this series would SUCK! I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW IT right when the show was first greenlit and announced. I knew there was going to be SJW, political stuff in it, bad scriptwriting, and a veering away from the books. This was a fast cash grab just like every other remake/reboot crap coming out there nowadays. I knew this show wouldn't be anything like Goosebumps. My expectations were very low at the start and the reviews I'm hearing just confirm what I've been thinking and saying. This show won't come back for a 2nd season---mark my word! Stick with the '90s series, it's more faithful to the Goosebumps books and the whole GB universe.
Agreed, man! It’s woke as hell, and it’s awful lol. I can’t believe what they’ve done to Goosebumps. I thought for sure this wouldn’t be something I’d see until Stine was dead and gone, but here we are lol.
Im really not trying to be too judgental here.....but why does every paranormal themed show catered to preteens/teenagers have to specifically center around the highschooler only being limited to the kids being in high school in a strange town where bad things start to happen just because kids started making stupid mistakes and/or were trying to fit in by attending some dumb party or pulled some prank? Its just getting so repetitive. You know what wouldve been an absolutely amazing idea for a Goosebumps series? If the show was about each kid from different books getting stranded in Horrorland! It could've been like that animated series about those teens being stranded on the island trying to survive in Jurassic park, except with monsters instead of dinosaurs. Hell, they couldve made a whole series based on all the "Enter Horrorland" books alone! Those books had much more excitement and substance than these constantly recycled teen dramas will ever know.
I agree, 1000%, dude. You’re hitting homeruns left and right, today lol. Literally any idea that wasn’t what they did would’ve been better than this trash. It’s totally a disrespectful show to the fans, and Disney should be ashamed of itself.
I just tried to watch this and on Disney+ it’s only showing episodes 3 and 4… Do I have to have Hulu in order to watch it? I’m not going to start with episode 3 lol…
I couldn’t even get it to show up on Disney Plus! Didn’t even show episodes 3 and 4! Lol. All of it has appeared on Hulu, so far, but, man, they’ve ruined this so horribly lol.
Couldn’t agree more. This was awful. Had very low expectations going in but wow.. should’ve saw this coming. Another one bites the dust. Atleast we have so much good goosebumps content
My wife looked right at me when that song came on, because she couldn’t believe it was in the show, either 😂 I had never heard it until she started singing along to it 😂
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 🤣 Well it's about a dad going to the strip club instead of being a father. It's not for kids. Lol. I just turned on night of the living dummy part 3 to show my kids how Darth Vader was turned into a doll.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934didn’t know the song either or even who sang it until I saw people saying Sam smith sings it. Amazing how far Disney has fallen with all the lbgtq stuff and then to use anything by that disgusting human Sam smith in anything for people under 18 is abhorrent
Dude, I’m a massive fan, and I thought the same thing through the horrible Jordan Peele one! That show sucked so bad. Can’t believe they made something that horrid. I can’t even finish watching it lol.
@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 yeah man I was called an Amish teene because I didn't want to watvh a show with cursing, I'm not I'm an Orthodox Christian, but that's OK I still said what I said.
Completely forgot this T.V. show was releasing because I didn't care after hearing Disney was involved. Watched the 1st episode today, and man was it just so underwhelming.
I knew it was going to be generic as soon as I saw the title sequence. It feels like they used the same blueprint as Power Rangers. Make it dark and edgy. It really sucks so bad.
See, I enjoyed the Power Rangers movie you’re referring to, because I love dark and gritty entertainment. Matter of fact, my favorite Goosebumps are the very darkest of the franchise. But this isn’t dark and gritty, at all lol. It’s written and performed like a comedy with horribly generic “spooky” music pinned over it.
The trailer didn't feel like Goosebumps at all. It's like someone wrote a teen slasher and then got the Goosebumps license so they shoved that in there. Maybe it's decent for what it is, but I wish it were Goosebumps. I wish every episode was it's own story so even if some sucked we'd have a chance that some were quality.
I absolutely agree, dude. They don’t even have the feeling of Goosebumps. Every shill I’ve talked with have claimed two things: first, that it DOES feel like Goosebumps (a straightforward lie lol), and then, when you call them on it, they begin to tow the line of it being a “fresh, new” take. It’s a shame, man.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 It's really sad that it's neither Goosebumps or a "fresh, new" take. Horror focused on personal drama rather than monsters has become the norm. I just hope someday we get something better like Ghostbusters Afterlife after Ghostbusters 2016 or Saw X after the last couple Saw movies.
9:32 Everything is these days. Glad I heard this review. I was going to give it a chance, but now that I know it's contaminated with SJW BS, I'll take a hard pass on it.
Rewatching this to get out my frustration with this CRAP show. Such a shame that we are going down this route of consistently ruining good shows with CRAP remakes. How easily this could've been made a great show instead of teen drama propaganda. Always optimistic that this era of CRAP filmmaking will be ending soon and entertainment will be made to entertain once again and not educate.
Personally, man, with how these companies are doubling-down on all of their poor choices to craft movies, I don’t think it’s going anywhere. But I also believe that it won’t matter, because audiences have clearly left the building due to all of the lecturing from Hollywood lol
This is just some woke agenda driven nonsense, this is nowhere near goosebumps. You can see the effort they put into including people from every ethnicity and background, and put zero effort in writing actual characters. And why tie every episode to one another? The beauty of goosebumps is stories set in different vibes and atmosphere. If you wanna connect stories to some level, they could at least learn from the horrorland series
Finally an honest review...Theres a total disconnect with what goosebumps is supposed to be and what disney delivered...Just as crappy as the new hocus pocus last year..
Agreed, dude. I think too many people have lowered their standards for this garbo lol. But I’ve seen more than enough shills and activists to prove that they’re trying to slander people that hate the show, just like they did with Star Wars. I hate Disney so much.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 what's a shame is this will probably be it for Goosebumps media wise I mean I'm fine if it's not messed with again but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the hype lol
This show does disappoint like holy shit, i only wanna see the welcome to horrorland to se how twrrible it is, im just hopeing that the horrorland episode will be better, but none the less it will suck. However it will be amazing to atleadt see horrorland in a disney budget, just without a disney writing. Ive been enticipating one day in horroland since the ps2 game to become a real life thing instead of a simple park withspirit halloween decorations, i just wanted this to be good but it kinda sucks
Ive just finished the first episode and in a nutshell, the biggest flaws I wanna point out first before I can share atleast some pros is: Not scary at all, I know I'm asking a lot for that statement, especially it's Goosebumps, but come on, this is like a student's film attempt to atleast terrify you The teen melodrama just feels forced, atleast I get more enjoyment on the Fear Street Netflix movies as that's honestly where they should belong. lols. The dialogue sucks The script sucks The first episode, the titular camera barely makes a deal. like all what happens with it is like 5 mins just to build with atleast an okay climax in the football and it's ridiculous how we build up 30-35 mins just to get to that point and the first 30 mins of it are just pure I don't give a damn thing about the kids Now to my positives: I actually like the beginning, it did reminded me of something in the Goosebumps books as exposition or lore building which is common but what it actually is it's like something from a GB Most Wanted Special Edition The thing with the ghost boy is actually kind of cool as the villain. Overall, the first episode is probs like a 1.75 / 5. lols. I still gotta watch atleast the other episodes and see if theg can atleast be improved or whatever. but if it somehow got worse then damn. The Haunted Mask has no way they'll make that book no justice, atleast be good!!!
Man, I can’t wait to see what you think of haunted mask 😂 I was more shocked by that than I was for anything they did with Slappy in the promos hahah. I can’t believe how horrible they treated the mask.
I’m so sorry you don’t like the episode! I hope there are some good episodes going forward in the coming weeks that will bring you some joy in a franchise you love.
Agreed, man, I can’t believe they went in any other direction from that. The Haunting Hour is so good, and this show could’ve thrived it had been settled into that format, instead.
16 mins and 6 ads into the first episode and I still dont know whats going ....i didnt read the book coinciding with the episode (i read others) but i should still know the base plot if im a 1/4 of the way through the it already . I came straight here before i wasted my time.
Man, I’m about four episodes in, and I don’t even want to finish it lol. It doesn’t have a plot, it’s just one random scene after another lol. Now they have a crazy affair situation between two adults, and I don’t even understand how that made its way into this stupid show 😂
@@Carolinagunsmoke That’s what I felt like, too! Didn’t even want to think about it, couldn’t even sleep lol. It’s Last Jedi all over again, for me. Even the fans split over it, just like Last Jedi.
What was rob letterman thinking, If they were gonna do anthology the first season would be ten episodes for the first ten books and so on with at least six seasons, I’d rather watch that than watch a girl getting mad about a troll, let’s just face it, the show was doomed from the start!!
Forced myself to watch and knew it was going to be bad but wanted to see if I could be wrong. Dialogue is unrealistic and story is unoriginal and the mystique and ominous tone the original series had is gone. It would have been better as an anthology where no one knew each other and Slappy or even Karl from the Chillogy was the host since all stories take place in the same town giving brief commentary in each episode here and there for comedic effect. Sounds better than the Freddy Krueger type storyline they wrote to tie all the stories together.
I heard about the new Goosebumps show. I haven't seen it, but I'm a massive fan of the original 90s show. It's like if you combined the Twilight Zone with a Stephen King miniseries.
I knew watching To Say Cheese and Die that I was 20 minutes into this and the 27 year old teenagers still didn't get to the camera, that this show was in trouble.
Man, it got even worse as it went along into episode 2 lol. If you haven’t seen it yet, they completely butchered Haunted Mask in the most insulting ways possible. This show is awful lol
Yeah, sadly lol. And I highly doubt they have guaranteed a new season. There’s a very small fraction of people liking the show, and it made it to #1 on Hulu for a single day before dropping all the way down to #6 less than a day later. I refuse to believe that show is doing well financially lol.
I’m sorry I watch the first four episodes last night and I actually like the TV show I like the characters and I am really excited watch 5 and 6 episodes so I have to disagree. I’m not even a hard-core fan. I will say though I’m not a big fan of James so I understand you there.
How dare you even compare this Pandering cringe to Buffy lmaoo 😢😂 But fr I couldn't even finish the first episode of this new goosebumps cause it was so cringe plus i want all the characters to die so bad 😅 theyre just too quirky and it feels like im watching a tiktokified Goosebumps
honeslty iv been watching it the first 2 and most of episode 3 and grew up as a big fan i dont mind it so far im fine with doing a diffrent adaptation trying to tie it all into 1 thing im not aposed to there is some evolution on some of the plots but so far its not bad honestly im still having fun with it mind you im coming from reading the orignal og books and watching a heavly amount of the orignal tv show as i owned many on vhs and even seen the 2 films with jack black but i dont mind this so far my opinion could change
Thanks for the civility of your comment, pal. I’m more disgusted with it not feeling like Goosebumps, at all, honestly. I feel like this is a huge missed opportunity.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I get where your coming from but it sounds like you want something exact when we already had the original I understand wanting something that's faithful if we never had it but I'm not apposed to trying something new tho I think they could of done better with the mask as well as the transition into the monster something handled better in the original I just finished all 5 last night it still has that goosebumps felling tho I'm 100% broken from horror films and rarely scare me I like the erreness of this and it's mystery and I would love a second season as I think this compares to many others fells deserving of a season 2 mind you i went in curious without expirations but hesitation since it was Disney exclusivethey have slowly destroyed marvel and star wars but this fells well done honestly i want more quality control like this
Gotta love modern times where you dread seeing something you like get new adaptation, knowing full well its gonna be terrible. I had no faith in it being good the more they showed things about it. I have pretty different opinions and taste on the books compared to you, but i have feeling im going to absolutely hate the show. I guess i will watch it somepoint, but im not paying money to see it haha.
If you decide to check it out, please come back and let me know your thoughts, man hahah. I feel like I just saw the Titanic sink or something. Even after episode 3, it just stays horrible lol.
Just finished binging all 5 of the episodes. Its just very mediocre teen drama that has almost nothing to do with goosebumps. I had to remind myself watching all the parent divorce scenes and other irrelevant things that, yep im watching show based on goosebumps. I cant say im disappointed since i went in knowing its not gonna be related to the books, but i wish it was just more enjoyable. Who knows, maybe the next 5 episodes can actually focus on the monsters and stuff instead of drama between characters i dont care much about. As of now i would give the show like 4/10 rating.@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934
I’ve only watched the first episode and I can agree that the show is absolutely god awful just based off first impressions. I don’t think there’s much politically going on with the show which is one thing I must disagree with, but you really have to think who is the audience here??? They use music and terrible acting that would be for kids but it markets itself as an adult tv show and it really just makes me question who the audience even is here- I don’t think anybody could enjoy this crap. I think it’s less about politics or any specific political party and more of just poor choices in literally every margin. It’s terrible. If I had a penny for each time something stupid happens in the first episode you could call me a billionaire.
I agree with you, but I do think it’s very political in nature-specifically with all of the environmental alarmism signs all over the school, and the constant mention of the supposed patriarchy existing lol. Outside of that, I’d agree it’s not political, but since those other pieces are so throwaway, I feel as though they shouldn’t be there, at all, you know? But, yeah, it’s extremely boring, they’ve modified the monsters into stuff that I hate, there are no real characters I care about, the music sucks, the theme song sucks, and it just gets worse with every episode I watch lol. At least episode four had a couple of nice things about it, but I event feel like I’m grasping at straws to justify saying I like it more than the first three episodes hahah. Such a bummer.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 yeah I understand completely what you’re saying, I can definitely see where you’re coming from cause it’s kinda like “why have it there if there’s no point”. I have so many goosebumps books, I’ve collected them for years and years, they inspire me as a person and to see this made me feel sick. I gave up half way through episode 2 cause of what they did to what I’d argue to be the best goosebumps monster. Am I shocked Disney ruined it? No. Is it worse than I thought? 100%.
The only things scary about this show is the bad acting, the god awful writing, and the terrible interpretations of each monster. I saw what slappy looked like in the trailer and literally started shaking. Not because I was scared however, just because I was so upset with the garbage that is the new interpretation of slappy. If I see that on any book cover I give up istg
@@e.m.philyaw agreed to everything you said, man. Such a shame to see what they’ve done to this show. It could’ve been iconic with the things involved, like Justin Long.
I tried so hard to watch it, I was so disappointed. I knew it would be different , but I didn’t know it would be this bad. I couldn’t even hold interest in the episodes.
i will agree with the theme song the orignal is extremly iconic with theres little to nothing for this theme song the song after the title isent the theme song i found out after watching its 2nd episode
Sony are the ones who made the show though as they were developing this and honestly Sony hasn't been using Spiderman well in their projects as of late. Disney Plus is merely the distributor of this it seems. Personally I thought the show was just the boring young adult drama stuff I can't get into given it's not interesting characters nor story arcs nor meaningful relationships. It does take way too long to get to the point in some of the episodes where it focuses on either the boring YA story arcs or focuses on events from previous episodes before introducing the next monster in a sense. I loved Haunted Mask with a passion (my favorite of the Goosebumps villains, thanks to the TV show with the four episodes- both two parters), but this mask ain't it. The mask itself looks creepy, but they really could have said it to be one of the Unloved ones (the other masks), and I could maybe deal with that as that's how I kept internalizing it, when the mask had the creepy smile, it looked somewhat better. The gremlin CGI isn't good and I didn't like it though Isabella (the troll girl) was probably the most tolerable of the characters given how much her life sucks to where she reminded me of the Creeped Out episode Kindlesticks girl. The other characters are pretty boring or just plain annoying. Justin Long isn't that great at all, he just felt boring or he kept overacting to where it felt cringe for me. I didn't mind Nora, then again her actress was Susan Heffley in the Diary of the Wimpy Kid trilogy movies (there is no fourth one lol), and she's probably the only parent actually good, as the others just suck ass and play ignorance because good character decisions can only come down to one person. Overall this show is very below average to bad for me, and I watched all 5 episodes in a day and I just felt tired. I may just finish this show, but I'm glad this isn't the only live action Goosebumps we have given we have the old 90's TV show and both movies (yeah I liked both of them). Not sure this one will get Season 2, honestly hoping it doesn't as that means the anthology route may happen if this show ends prematurely.
Sony and Disney agree to release this show as is, man. They’re both to blame lol. And, no, there’s no way this will get a season 2-if they ever made it, it’d totally be out of spite and not because of any form of supposed success, in my opinion 😂
I blame Sony for how they made it. Disney merely distributed it so I don’t have much a reason to blame them. If they were involved in the creation process, then maybe, but they weren’t so I’m not going to go at them for merely being the ones to post this, feels pointless to me. Depends what happens I suppose. If the viewership doesn’t do well, they may axe the show much like Willow was.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I guess I'm just more annoyed with the guys who made it, then the guys who distributed it. That's just my take. You're free to blame them both.
There’s nothing wrong with that, man hahah. Just because I hated it doesn’t mean you have to. Hope you’ll continue to enjoy it, even though I can warn you ahead of time that pretty much every review I’ve done for the series has been negative, so far 😂
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 "There’s nothing wrong with that, man hahah. Just because I hated it doesn’t mean you have to. " What? But I heard from some random assholes on r/saltierthankrayt you were just a gatekeeping asshole!
Disney does own Hulu, but 100% glad that Disney is letting them do their own thing. Like the movie Prey and shows like The Bear. Disney is just the sponsor and that's it. With only 5 episodes it still to early to tell out of 10 episodes. There might be one episodes that out shines them all.
Love how they said it be funny and entertaining its not the original was. Now riverdale based off archie but least was entertaining and not a complete rip off of something actual good. I watch it and it to much of a mixed between chucky show and riverdale. If you going to remake something it needs to actually be different and good. This not different yet alone good and now the actors in it i liked i now fully dislike!!!!
So disappointing... Thanks for watching it for me lol definitely not gonna watch it. I wish it was just like the 90s series even with the old cameras and everything
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 well it’s good to see you I was entirely different person back then and I get the feeling that you were too, god bless brother
@@davidguerrero7066 Yeah, sort of hahah. I sometimes miss those days, because I like that style of video making. It’s good to see you here, and God bless you!
Yah, I know what you mean. They just don't make shows the same. I love the original and watching the new one, you just don't feel the scary vibe like in the original. Like I told monsterblood, they should've stuck with the vibe they used to give out in the original. Use kids that are 12 and younger like you used to. Don't use college kids. I get it was aimed for older kids now. But come on, I watched it and I didn't feel that vibe. I kinda liked it. But it wasn't scary. But I do hope they realize this and they try harder.
Agreed, man. They made poor choice after poor choice, with this one. I can’t believe what they’ve done to haunted mask hahah. They’re going to destroy Slappy, I can feel it in my bones. I’m three episodes in, at this point, and nothing has improved. The discord were ranting so hard over this stuff, last night, it was amazing hahah.
I would say the last episode of that show, The Treehouse was easily the best episode of the eight. Actually heartwarming/creepy. The others are more of a hit or miss, but there are like two more that are decent, the monster one and the operahouse one. @@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934
This series is an absolute dumpster fire, based on what I’m seeing every single big Goosebumps fan is hating this.
As a queer person the constant “This character’s personality trait is gay” in these shows really rubs me the wrong way, the teen drama being the core element is a mess, the adaptation of The Haunted Mask is horrendous to me as a fan of that book.
(Also the references to porn and serial killers? Like if you’re going to age up Goosebumps go harder with the scares, not the teen drinking and sexual dialogue)
I’m upset by the fact that Zombie Town did a better job of capturing Stine’s work than this series.
Man, I’m so glad I’m seeing more folks like yourself come out and call it like it is. You know who was a phenomenal gay character, and the writers were smart enough not to make it her personality? Theo from the Haunting of Hill House on Netflix. There’s a humongous difference between a wonderful character like Theo and someone obnoxious and stereotyped as someone like James, whom gets on my last nerve lol. It’s such a disservice to everyone it’s supposedly trying to represent, and it’s exactly why I hate Disney.
Thank you for an awesome comment lol.
I would also like to add to your comment that I can't stand when horror movies in general always portray teenagers the exact same way, always being sex crazed party goers with alcohol and looking for trouble and make careless mistakes that result in scary things happening to them. Like is there really no other more interesting characteristics to teenaged characters they could come up with???
@@torytellstales I agree to that point, even though I do like the tropes you’re mentioning lol.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I was so surprised by your opinion on this show. You're such an open minded reviewer when it comes to things you see, so to see the way you reacted must've meant this was really terrible haha!
I’m watching this as of now and I can’t believe the racial and overused stereotypes and pretty bad dialogue just in the first 15 minutes alone 💀💀I’ll come back and add to this when I’m done - update: everything that could’ve been wrong/bad pretty much was
I can’t believe what I’m seeing, man 😂
@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 it's Disney not that surprising unfortunately
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I can believe it! 🤣
100% agree, made it 10 minutes in, and turned it off when I saw it basically was exaclty what i was afraid it would be. Just another example of all the things wrong with "entertainment" made for "modern audiences". Besides the fact that its biggest crime is being incredibly boring and dull to the point of complete uninterest, there is also no actual plot, no story, no character developmemt, just a bunch of things happening with unlikeable, undeveloped characters with tons of leftist woke BS. I agree with what you said regarding the dialoge, I absolutely can't stand the constant millenial/Gen Z quippy joke heavy dialogue, with all those annoying inflections, just everyone in general not talking like actual people talk. And I was just waiting to see how long it would take for the first gay character to appear whose only personality trait would be "I'm gay" and it beat my own expectations with how quickly that happened. Also, I hate how subversive and sexual they had to make it. Either make it in the spirit of the original and be kid friendly, or make it fully for adults and ramp up the horror. Especially as someone with small children, it makes me feel gross to see this advertised as somethint more for children and then to see the amount of sexual or subversive things in it. Typical Disney on that though, i guess.
What an absolute turd, like most everything else that has been made in the past decade or so.
Yeah, man, it’s a gigantic shame that this cast weren’t treated better with a better script. Really bothers me the direction Disney chose to take this piece of crap.
Dude I went on a full page rant about leftist woke blah blah. Just admit it a white boy with no dick
You just earned my subscription. Speaking up for the true fans
Hey there, thank you for that! I know people will have different tastes and everything, but I’m disgusted by the activists and bad actors that have come in, over the last week, to trash the real fans that may not like the show lol. Ive been called every name in the book, this week, for it 😂
I'm right there with you. I voiced my concerns that Disney would royally mess this up because they wanted to take over a beloved property and turn it into a pandering Riverdale abomination of a series wearing a Goosebumps skin. Extremely disappointing yet I saw this a mile away. The pain, Michael. The pain! 😂
Agreed, dude. I know people didn’t want to hear the warnings I kept giving, but this looked awful from the getgo lol
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I knew it was going to be awful from the start. This show was nothing but a quick cash grab. Whoever made this show knows nothing about Goosebumps, because this new series ISN'T Goosebumps! This is the trend nowadays: throw in some political, woke, SJW stuff, some awful scriptwriting, and profanity and they think they got a hot commodity . . . .um, no, it's trash!
@@brianseay8242 Agreed-it’s the very thing that killed modern sitcoms lol. So freakin’ sad, man.
Disney didn't make the show.
I'm not even surprised that Disney would ruin this. If it's as bad as you say then I don't even think I will give it a chance because I typically look at reveiws before I watch something. I wish Disney would go back to caring about their fans.
Man, you should see the guys in the discord hahah. Completionist and I have been mocking it for hours hahah. We’re both shocked by how horrible it is.
The fall of Disney is the greatest example of mismanagement I have ever seen in my life lol.
See here’s an example you’re hating on it because you have issues with Disney my dude…. You should be pointing your fingers at Sony
@@doctorvondoom5797 Did both companies produce this product?
Because I don’t understand why people like yourself pretend like the difference would matter. This was an awful work produced by both companies, and it craps all over Goosebumps. Disney AND Sony are trash.
I can't believe how much potential was wasted, honestly I'm not very surprised as it is Disney. All they had to do with this episode was just focus mainly on the cursed camera with all the terrifying events it predicts, but my main concern is why it had to be Disney. Even Netflix potentially could of made a promising well-adapted Goosebumps show just like how they did with One Piece and Creeped Out. Such a big let down!
It’s so sad that they’ve wasted so much. I feel sick to my stomach every time I think about it, man. Absolute crapola lol.
Saw the first two episodes. Of course Disney is gonna take a classic and make it woke. Like they say everything woke turns to 💩
That fact is the truest thing I’ve ever heard, man lol. SJWs suck so bad. Talentless hacks, all of ‘em.
Is it woke because there's a black lead or a gay guy in it? You can't even complain that the characters were racewapped becuase its only taking ideas from the books not characters. Everything seems fine, and the story is interesting/funny for the first episode. At this point you're whinning to whine.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934garbage review. Talentless hack
@@TempestKnight16 No, it’s woke because of all the political ideology all over the screen that people like yourself play dumb about. Environmentalist alarmism all over the walls of the schools, constant mentions of the patriarchy. This is propaganda in a children’s show and you’re defending it. Any other type of fundamental nonsense, and you’d lose your freaking mine on Twitter or something.
But keep licking that boot, pal.
Oh no gay people exist how scary 😨😱
There is just no stopping Disney 🙁. Wish there was someway to stop them
Agreed, man-especially after this lol
Just found the channel a couple of days ago. Love the videos!
Hey, pal, thank you! Hope you’ll continue to have a good time with this stuff!
It literally took me a whole day to finish this episode because it just didn’t catch my interest, and that says a lot because I loved the books
Dude, I absolutely understand. That pilot episode was so freaking boring and dull. This shows sucks so bad.
Michael, why does your commentary sound better than the whole of the first episode? I'm gonna cry, why does this sound like a movie I would see in a cinema and only one person shows up because of a younger sibling wanted to watch, but the older sibling was away and a babysitter had to take the kid? It sounds as if this series is going to stink!
P.s. god bless you, man!
Probably because Disney’s quality has dropped so heavily, since endgame came out, that everyone is noticing it, finally hahah. What a horrible company. I figured this show would be bad, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how horrible this has been, so far lol. I talked to Completionist through the second episode, and his rants were absolutely hilarious. Can’t wait to see what he posts about it lol. You guys will get a kick out of it.
Thanks for watching and God bless you, as well!
No one can explain, Michael, that Disney+ only released episodes 3 and 4, there is no one and two, or even five. Is this the same with you? Or is this just like an Australian thing? I honestly feel like I’m watching the Star Wars film series with all the films dropping in a random order. Michael, I don’t think, after I finish watching the whole series, that I’ll watch anything on Disney+ ever again. If they ruin Slappy, how you described the haunted mask, I’m going to scream. Community, pray for all of us!
@@anotheraussiegoosebumpsfan I will never rewatch this trashfire, either hahah. I didn’t want a Disney plus account, and had no clue it would be on Hulu. Every episode was on Hulu, so far.
All they had to do with the episode was just focus on the camera and show many different horrifc events yet to happen. Honestly the part when the main guy got his arm broke and his bone sticking out, it did gave me chills cause I didn't expect that.
I’m so used to horror movies that the execution of that didn’t even make me twitch 😂
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I can see what you mean, I just didn't think something like Goosebumps would go out of there way and show it on-screen.
@@theskullspookychannel6343 Hahahah! Agreed!
I realized I haven’t even seen RL Stines name anywhere yet….. I don’t blame him 😂. I wouldn’t want to be associated with this 💩 either..
That poor man deserves so much better than this crap. I love Stine so much. I know he defended the Fear Street movies, and we can argue about the quality of those movies all day long, but the people defending this Goosebumps show almost never mention how it’s nothing like Goosebumps.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I am 100% with you brotha!!
I have only watched one episode but I feel like it has let me down. It feels like goosebumps is the big name they chose but it feels like a teen drama with forced gen z jokes. I like they included the plot and story with the boy dying in the fire so hopefully they can incorporate it into the goosebumps side of things. At the moment feels more like a teen horror drama thing rather than goosebumps
Man, I’m three episodes in, and it hasn’t improved at all, for me hahah. Gonna watch some more, whenever I get home, later lol. Such a bummer. I was really hoping I’d be proven wrong, for once.
This is sad. Disney used to do horror well, but over the past fifteen years or so, they have gone down with that category.
Dude... glad I found your channel. You're 100% spot on. Literally everything I loved has been destroyed by grotesque leftists.
It’s disgusting how they’ve completely taken-over all of Hollywood. They never make money off of this kind of trash, man, and they continue to lose money and STILL continue to make these horrible choices.
Goosebumps just got Last Jedi’d lol.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the support, man.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934i know man... i know.
#1: Teen drama belongs to Fear Street, not Goosebumps, and #2: Stine never used profanity in Fear Street, but these people decide to use that in this new Goosebumps TV series---GOOSEBUMPS? What in the hell were they thinking?
They don’t think, man. This is a great example of people that DO NOT understand or care about the source material we all love, and therefore, they decided to ruin it for the sake of making money. I’m amazed at how much money Disney has lost, and somehow they haven’t learned their lesson lol.
There is more ways to watch the series? Because I don't have disney+
Yeah, man, I’ve only been able to watch it on Hulu. I didn’t even know it was going to Hulu lol. But it’s there.
Now you've read all the Goosebumps books I have a request:
What's your
1. Favourite book
2. Scariest book
3. Funniest book
4. Goriest book
5. Book w/ the best vibe
Thank you Michael!
That’s a good idea, man, thanks for that! I’ll try to make that very soon, once the move is over hahah.
Take your time! Looking forward to hear your thoughts on it, feel free to pop a comment whenever you have an idea 💡
One thing I did appreciate about the first episode is at least the camera this time looks more like an actual old time camera, whereas the 90's adaptation just looked extremely weird and too sci-fi.
The camera being more normal looking actually makes it more scary to me personally
Also pretty sure I was the 4K subscriber! Congrats bro!
Hahaha! Thanks for subbing, man! That’s so awesome! You guys all rock!
Man, oh man... This shows first 5 episodes were nothing short of disappointing. The acting is quite terrible, especially the male teen characters (I'm especially looking at you, Lucas!)
Agreed, man! Such a bummer!
I'm a 90s kid I grew up with goosebumps books and the TV show on fox kids, I'm a big goosebumps fan, I was very optimistic about the new 2023 series and after just finishing it I am very very dissapointed, the budget looks decent the delivery was awful I think fans made films could do a much better job
There’s actually a Haunted Mask short fan film on UA-cam (I don’t remember the channel), but I made a video about it years ago. Really solid, and manages to feel like Goosebumps whilst also having an adult, and dark, tone. Sad to see such a high budget be squandered lol
I am sooooo thankful I watched the first episode myself and not with my kids. I had very very low expectations given Disney and Hollywoods track records on reboots. They managed to shoot so far below my expectations it’s disgusting. My 8 and 5 year old love when I read my old goosebumps books to them and there’s absolutely no way in hell I would let them watch this absolute trash show. I am so over Disneys propaganda push. Anything they can do to help forward the lbgtq agenda 🤮
As expected they took goosebumps in name only to try and sell their garbage. These books are not able to woven together so I’m not surprised at how dismal their attempt at a story was…
I feel like…. Like if a show made you part of the LGBTQ community you was already part of that community anyways. The idea a show could make you do anything or be part of anything absurd. We all watch John wick and none of us went and learned how to be a assassin lmao
I tried to watch this show but turned it off when the worm slithered into that man's bum in episode 4... I highly doubt RL Stine would ever write something like that. This show is a stain on the goosebumps franchise
First 2 minutes of Ep 1 seemed like it had great potential
Wasn’t too shabby, aside from the goofy fire monster lol
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 hahaha for sure thinking back😅
I agree with all of the flaws this show has so far (Haunted Mask seriously looks like a Gremlin). I still really enjoy it though. I have a feeling that it'll stray more into actual Goosebumps as it goes along
My theorem is that Slappy is in that case everyone's going on about, and the focus will shift to him for the rest of the show
Hope you continue to enjoy it lol. Thanks for being civil lol
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 No problem!
Well…we were right unfortunately Michael 😂🤦🏻 it’s a Gen Z high school drama with a bit of Goosebumps sprinkled on top.
Yep, man. A lot of people keep saying it feels like CW trash, and they’re absolutely right.
@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 exactly! It’s left a bad woke taste in my mouth, time to wash it out by rewatching the original 90’s series 😂
@@Ryanjb35 I think I’ll do the same thing, sometime this weekend hahah. I hate woke trash.
I knew the new goosebumps show was going to be bad but not this kind of bad
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing hahah. I jumped right onto discord while I was watching the first episode and everyone in the group were just starting to watch it. None of them could believe it, either, and I think there was only one of the guys in the group that actually liked it hahaha. There’s no way this show will get a season two. Disney will bury this show.
Oh, I knew it was going to be THAT BAD! I knew it from the very start when this show was announced to us.
@@brianseay8242 I was so optimistic until Disney was announced to be involved hahah
well great now I need to go back and watch your book/episode reviews
I KNEW this series would SUCK! I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW IT right when the show was first greenlit and announced. I knew there was going to be SJW, political stuff in it, bad scriptwriting, and a veering away from the books. This was a fast cash grab just like every other remake/reboot crap coming out there nowadays. I knew this show wouldn't be anything like Goosebumps. My expectations were very low at the start and the reviews I'm hearing just confirm what I've been thinking and saying. This show won't come back for a 2nd season---mark my word! Stick with the '90s series, it's more faithful to the Goosebumps books and the whole GB universe.
Agreed, man! It’s woke as hell, and it’s awful lol. I can’t believe what they’ve done to Goosebumps. I thought for sure this wouldn’t be something I’d see until Stine was dead and gone, but here we are lol.
I actually enjoyed the 5 episodes on Disney Plus but it wasn’t anywhere close to as good as The Goosebumps I watched before this
I’m glad you had a good time, man.
Im really not trying to be too judgental here.....but why does every paranormal themed show catered to preteens/teenagers have to specifically center around the highschooler only being limited to the kids being in high school in a strange town where bad things start to happen just because kids started making stupid mistakes and/or were trying to fit in by attending some dumb party or pulled some prank? Its just getting so repetitive.
You know what wouldve been an absolutely amazing idea for a Goosebumps series? If the show was about each kid from different books getting stranded in Horrorland! It could've been like that animated series about those teens being stranded on the island trying to survive in Jurassic park, except with monsters instead of dinosaurs. Hell, they couldve made a whole series based on all the "Enter Horrorland" books alone!
Those books had much more excitement and substance than these constantly recycled teen dramas will ever know.
I agree, 1000%, dude. You’re hitting homeruns left and right, today lol.
Literally any idea that wasn’t what they did would’ve been better than this trash. It’s totally a disrespectful show to the fans, and Disney should be ashamed of itself.
I just tried to watch this and on Disney+ it’s only showing episodes 3 and 4… Do I have to have Hulu in order to watch it? I’m not going to start with episode 3 lol…
I couldn’t even get it to show up on Disney Plus! Didn’t even show episodes 3 and 4! Lol. All of it has appeared on Hulu, so far, but, man, they’ve ruined this so horribly lol.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934that’s disappointing…
Same, I’m just gonna wait until the first two episodes release on Disney plus
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 i don't have hulu so this is really frustrating!!!!
Couldn’t agree more. This was awful. Had very low expectations going in but wow.. should’ve saw this coming. Another one bites the dust. Atleast we have so much good goosebumps content
Agreed, man. Such a bummer. What a pathetic state media is in, right now.
Heyyyy love from India💥💥goosebumps 🔝🔝🔝🔝
Thanks for watching, man! Appreciate it! Lol
I make it 10 minutes in and didn't want my children to watch it. I mean... If it starts with "body shop" it's definitely not appropriate for kids.
My wife looked right at me when that song came on, because she couldn’t believe it was in the show, either 😂 I had never heard it until she started singing along to it 😂
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934
🤣 Well it's about a dad going to the strip club instead of being a father. It's not for kids. Lol. I just turned on night of the living dummy part 3 to show my kids how Darth Vader was turned into a doll.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934didn’t know the song either or even who sang it until I saw people saying Sam smith sings it. Amazing how far Disney has fallen with all the lbgtq stuff and then to use anything by that disgusting human Sam smith in anything for people under 18 is abhorrent
Don't worry, I thought the new series was horrible too. I made a 9 minute rant about the new goosebumps series on Disney Plus. #newsubscriber
It’s such a shame that this turned-out the way it did lol. Thanks for watching and subbing, man!
Bro i felt the same wau about twilight zone 2019. All the tzs didnt have swearing and i didnt like that they did that.
Dude, I’m a massive fan, and I thought the same thing through the horrible Jordan Peele one! That show sucked so bad. Can’t believe they made something that horrid. I can’t even finish watching it lol.
@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 yeah man I was called an Amish teene because I didn't want to watvh a show with cursing, I'm not I'm an Orthodox Christian, but that's OK I still said what I said.
Completely forgot this T.V. show was releasing because I didn't care after hearing Disney was involved. Watched the 1st episode today, and man was it just so underwhelming.
It just gets worse and worse, as it goes along, dude lol
My guess is that the neck of that shirt has been stretched, hence the V.
It’s possible hahah. I haven’t worn it in so long, I wasn’t sure whether the hot air from the summer messed with it or what hahah.
I knew it was going to be generic as soon as I saw the title sequence. It feels like they used the same blueprint as Power Rangers. Make it dark and edgy. It really sucks so bad.
See, I enjoyed the Power Rangers movie you’re referring to, because I love dark and gritty entertainment. Matter of fact, my favorite Goosebumps are the very darkest of the franchise. But this isn’t dark and gritty, at all lol. It’s written and performed like a comedy with horribly generic “spooky” music pinned over it.
The trailer didn't feel like Goosebumps at all. It's like someone wrote a teen slasher and then got the Goosebumps license so they shoved that in there. Maybe it's decent for what it is, but I wish it were Goosebumps. I wish every episode was it's own story so even if some sucked we'd have a chance that some were quality.
I absolutely agree, dude. They don’t even have the feeling of Goosebumps. Every shill I’ve talked with have claimed two things: first, that it DOES feel like Goosebumps (a straightforward lie lol), and then, when you call them on it, they begin to tow the line of it being a “fresh, new” take. It’s a shame, man.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 It's really sad that it's neither Goosebumps or a "fresh, new" take. Horror focused on personal drama rather than monsters has become the norm. I just hope someday we get something better like Ghostbusters Afterlife after Ghostbusters 2016 or Saw X after the last couple Saw movies.
it doesn't feel like goosebumps books 😔😔
And that will be exactly why it won’t get a season 2 lmao 😂
have you done a video on slappy in the background? because he looks real cool!

9:32 Everything is these days. Glad I heard this review. I was going to give it a chance, but now that I know it's contaminated with SJW BS, I'll take a hard pass on it.
Glad I could save you some time and money, man! This SJW trash ruins and infects absolutely everything!
Rewatching this to get out my frustration with this CRAP show. Such a shame that we are going down this route of consistently ruining good shows with CRAP remakes. How easily this could've been made a great show instead of teen drama propaganda. Always optimistic that this era of CRAP filmmaking will be ending soon and entertainment will be made to entertain once again and not educate.
Personally, man, with how these companies are doubling-down on all of their poor choices to craft movies, I don’t think it’s going anywhere. But I also believe that it won’t matter, because audiences have clearly left the building due to all of the lecturing from Hollywood lol
They refuse to do Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of The Dark as an anthology tv series these days. They keep taking the Eerie Indiana style approach.
Yeah, it’s a shame, man. The classics were so great, and the books being standalone is STILL a good time, for the most part.
X-Men, that hasn't been ruined.
After Apocalypse and what they will do with the new cartoon on Disney, it will be, soon lol.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 😂, oh yeah!
@@kylekullin2520 😂
This is just some woke agenda driven nonsense, this is nowhere near goosebumps. You can see the effort they put into including people from every ethnicity and background, and put zero effort in writing actual characters. And why tie every episode to one another? The beauty of goosebumps is stories set in different vibes and atmosphere. If you wanna connect stories to some level, they could at least learn from the horrorland series
They never learn, man lol. It’s Disney. So glad South Park recently tore them a new one.
Finally an honest review...Theres a total disconnect with what goosebumps is supposed to be and what disney delivered...Just as crappy as the new hocus pocus last year..
Agreed, dude. I think too many people have lowered their standards for this garbo lol. But I’ve seen more than enough shills and activists to prove that they’re trying to slander people that hate the show, just like they did with Star Wars. I hate Disney so much.
Weird question where did you slappy from?
I did like the just beyond show now that you mentioned it.
I was hoping to check that one out before the cowards removed it
This show isn't even goosebumps from episode 1, its just a boring high school plot 15001. The camera is the most standard old camera in a horror film.
Absolutely agreed, dude. If you make it further, wait till you see how they ruin Haunted Mask, Cuckoo Clock, and Slappy lol
Yeahhh...I probably won't be watching this lol
Man, the discord was hilarious, last night, where we were all going off about it lol.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 what's a shame is this will probably be it for Goosebumps media wise I mean I'm fine if it's not messed with again but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the hype lol
This show does disappoint like holy shit, i only wanna see the welcome to horrorland to se how twrrible it is, im just hopeing that the horrorland episode will be better, but none the less it will suck. However it will be amazing to atleadt see horrorland in a disney budget, just without a disney writing. Ive been enticipating one day in horroland since the ps2 game to become a real life thing instead of a simple park withspirit halloween decorations, i just wanted this to be good but it kinda sucks
All I want is horrorland and then I'll throw this out
It sucks so bad, man, I can only imagine how they will ruin HorrorLand next lol.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 dead ass, they might just take a trip to spirit halloween
Ive just finished the first episode and in a nutshell, the biggest flaws I wanna point out first before I can share atleast some pros is:
Not scary at all, I know I'm asking a lot for that statement, especially it's Goosebumps, but come on, this is like a student's film attempt to atleast terrify you
The teen melodrama just feels forced, atleast I get more enjoyment on the Fear Street Netflix movies as that's honestly where they should belong. lols.
The dialogue sucks
The script sucks
The first episode, the titular camera barely makes a deal. like all what happens with it is like 5 mins just to build with atleast an okay climax in the football and it's ridiculous how we build up 30-35 mins just to get to that point and the first 30 mins of it are just pure I don't give a damn thing about the kids
Now to my positives:
I actually like the beginning, it did reminded me of something in the Goosebumps books as exposition or lore building which is common but what it actually is it's like something from a GB Most Wanted Special Edition
The thing with the ghost boy is actually kind of cool as the villain.
Overall, the first episode is probs like a 1.75 / 5. lols.
I still gotta watch atleast the other episodes and see if theg can atleast be improved or whatever. but if it somehow got worse then damn.
The Haunted Mask has no way they'll make that book no justice, atleast be good!!!
Man, I can’t wait to see what you think of haunted mask 😂 I was more shocked by that than I was for anything they did with Slappy in the promos hahah. I can’t believe how horrible they treated the mask.
I’m so sorry you don’t like the episode! I hope there are some good episodes going forward in the coming weeks that will bring you some joy in a franchise you love.
Hopefully, but I’m absolutely doubting it, after what I’ve seen in the first three episodes lol
I prefer the older Goosebumps TV series.
Agreed, man!
I’m disappointed but it’s not as bad as I thought it would be.
I’m glad you’re finding something decent in there, man hahah
I thought the show would be like the haunting hour, but it is not at all.
Agreed, man, I can’t believe they went in any other direction from that. The Haunting Hour is so good, and this show could’ve thrived it had been settled into that format, instead.
The shows been great, not perfect, but ive still loved it so far
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it, dude.
16 mins and 6 ads into the first episode and I still dont know whats going ....i didnt read the book coinciding with the episode (i read others) but i should still know the base plot if im a 1/4 of the way through the it already . I came straight here before i wasted my time.
Man, I’m about four episodes in, and I don’t even want to finish it lol. It doesn’t have a plot, it’s just one random scene after another lol. Now they have a crazy affair situation between two adults, and I don’t even understand how that made its way into this stupid show 😂
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 lol I gave up after they disrespected the haunted mask . Horrible adaptions
@@Carolinagunsmoke That’s what I felt like, too! Didn’t even want to think about it, couldn’t even sleep lol. It’s Last Jedi all over again, for me. Even the fans split over it, just like Last Jedi.
What was rob letterman thinking, If they were gonna do anthology the first season would be ten episodes for the first ten books and so on with at least six seasons, I’d rather watch that than watch a girl getting mad about a troll, let’s just face it, the show was doomed from the start!!
It’s horrible, man hahaha
Forced myself to watch and knew it was going to be bad but wanted to see if I could be wrong. Dialogue is unrealistic and story is unoriginal and the mystique and ominous tone the original series had is gone. It would have been better as an anthology where no one knew each other and Slappy or even Karl from the Chillogy was the host since all stories take place in the same town giving brief commentary in each episode here and there for comedic effect. Sounds better than the Freddy Krueger type storyline they wrote to tie all the stories together.
I still think AI wrote this trash, man. Seems absolutely soulless hahah. Another massive Disney failure.
Also michael i believe this show was made by Sony..
It’s Sony and Disney, together.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 ahh I see I see
I’m 14 and it doesn’t make since for it to be a Anthology or whatever it called
I heard about the new Goosebumps show. I haven't seen it, but I'm a massive fan of the original 90s show. It's like if you combined the Twilight Zone with a Stephen King miniseries.
Man, do yourself a favor and avoid it. It’s horrid hahah
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 That's fine. There's other stuff for me to watch anyways.
I knew watching To Say Cheese and Die that I was 20 minutes into this and the 27 year old teenagers still didn't get to the camera, that this show was in trouble.
Man, it got even worse as it went along into episode 2 lol. If you haven’t seen it yet, they completely butchered Haunted Mask in the most insulting ways possible. This show is awful lol
I think the first episode bad and it doesn’t feel like goosebumps in my opinion
So far, not a single minute of any of the episodes I’ve watched have felt like Goosebumps, to me lol.
Finally made it here. Moving again?!?
Ummmmm.... should I tell you? Kinda think I should. They might have guaranteed a second season.
Yeah, sadly lol.
And I highly doubt they have guaranteed a new season. There’s a very small fraction of people liking the show, and it made it to #1 on Hulu for a single day before dropping all the way down to #6 less than a day later. I refuse to believe that show is doing well financially lol.
Can't watch it it only show eps 3 and 4
I still don’t know what’s up with that. If you have Hulu, everything is on there hahah.
I’m sorry I watch the first four episodes last night and I actually like the TV show I like the characters and I am really excited watch 5 and 6 episodes so I have to disagree. I’m not even a hard-core fan. I will say though I’m not a big fan of James so I understand you there.
How dare you even compare this Pandering cringe to Buffy lmaoo 😢😂 But fr I couldn't even finish the first episode of this new goosebumps cause it was so cringe plus i want all the characters to die so bad 😅 theyre just too quirky and it feels like im watching a tiktokified Goosebumps
Sounds like the title should have been more like episode 1: stick a fork in this already it’s done!’ 😬😆
Yes 😂
honeslty iv been watching it the first 2 and most of episode 3 and grew up as a big fan i dont mind it so far im fine with doing a diffrent adaptation trying to tie it all into 1 thing im not aposed to there is some evolution on some of the plots but so far its not bad honestly im still having fun with it mind you im coming from reading the orignal og books and watching a heavly amount of the orignal tv show as i owned many on vhs and even seen the 2 films with jack black but i dont mind this so far my opinion could change
Thanks for the civility of your comment, pal. I’m more disgusted with it not feeling like Goosebumps, at all, honestly. I feel like this is a huge missed opportunity.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I get where your coming from but it sounds like you want something exact when we already had the original I understand wanting something that's faithful if we never had it but I'm not apposed to trying something new tho I think they could of done better with the mask as well as the transition into the monster something handled better in the original I just finished all 5 last night it still has that goosebumps felling tho I'm 100% broken from horror films and rarely scare me I like the erreness of this and it's mystery and I would love a second season as I think this compares to many others fells deserving of a season 2 mind you i went in curious without expirations but hesitation since it was Disney exclusivethey have slowly destroyed marvel and star wars but this fells well done honestly i want more quality control like this
Gotta love modern times where you dread seeing something you like get new adaptation, knowing full well its gonna be terrible. I had no faith in it being good the more they showed things about it. I have pretty different opinions and taste on the books compared to you, but i have feeling im going to absolutely hate the show. I guess i will watch it somepoint, but im not paying money to see it haha.
If you decide to check it out, please come back and let me know your thoughts, man hahah. I feel like I just saw the Titanic sink or something. Even after episode 3, it just stays horrible lol.
Just finished binging all 5 of the episodes. Its just very mediocre teen drama that has almost nothing to do with goosebumps. I had to remind myself watching all the parent divorce scenes and other irrelevant things that, yep im watching show based on goosebumps. I cant say im disappointed since i went in knowing its not gonna be related to the books, but i wish it was just more enjoyable. Who knows, maybe the next 5 episodes can actually focus on the monsters and stuff instead of drama between characters i dont care much about. As of now i would give the show like 4/10 rating.@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934
I’ve only watched the first episode and I can agree that the show is absolutely god awful just based off first impressions.
I don’t think there’s much politically going on with the show which is one thing I must disagree with, but you really have to think who is the audience here??? They use music and terrible acting that would be for kids but it markets itself as an adult tv show and it really just makes me question who the audience even is here- I don’t think anybody could enjoy this crap. I think it’s less about politics or any specific political party and more of just poor choices in literally every margin. It’s terrible.
If I had a penny for each time something stupid happens in the first episode you could call me a billionaire.
I agree with you, but I do think it’s very political in nature-specifically with all of the environmental alarmism signs all over the school, and the constant mention of the supposed patriarchy existing lol. Outside of that, I’d agree it’s not political, but since those other pieces are so throwaway, I feel as though they shouldn’t be there, at all, you know?
But, yeah, it’s extremely boring, they’ve modified the monsters into stuff that I hate, there are no real characters I care about, the music sucks, the theme song sucks, and it just gets worse with every episode I watch lol. At least episode four had a couple of nice things about it, but I event feel like I’m grasping at straws to justify saying I like it more than the first three episodes hahah. Such a bummer.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 yeah I understand completely what you’re saying, I can definitely see where you’re coming from cause it’s kinda like “why have it there if there’s no point”. I have so many goosebumps books, I’ve collected them for years and years, they inspire me as a person and to see this made me feel sick. I gave up half way through episode 2 cause of what they did to what I’d argue to be the best goosebumps monster.
Am I shocked Disney ruined it? No. Is it worse than I thought? 100%.
The only things scary about this show is the bad acting, the god awful writing, and the terrible interpretations of each monster. I saw what slappy looked like in the trailer and literally started shaking. Not because I was scared however, just because I was so upset with the garbage that is the new interpretation of slappy. If I see that on any book cover I give up istg
@@e.m.philyaw agreed to everything you said, man. Such a shame to see what they’ve done to this show. It could’ve been iconic with the things involved, like Justin Long.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 exactly
When you said the rap song is back...uhhh nooo
I rather see you developing your own Goosebumps
But with give yourself books
Bruh, there’s so much hip hop, rap, how do you do fellow kids crap in this, there are no words lol.
@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I hated rap too when I was in high school a decade ago
Good review
Thanks for watching, man!
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 no problem
I tried so hard to watch it, I was so disappointed. I knew it would be different , but I didn’t know it would be this bad. I couldn’t even hold interest in the episodes.
Agreed, dude! It’s so boring. Has nothing worthwhile happening in it lol
i will agree with the theme song the orignal is extremly iconic with theres little to nothing for this theme song the song after the title isent the theme song i found out after watching its 2nd episode
Sony are the ones who made the show though as they were developing this and honestly Sony hasn't been using Spiderman well in their projects as of late. Disney Plus is merely the distributor of this it seems. Personally I thought the show was just the boring young adult drama stuff I can't get into given it's not interesting characters nor story arcs nor meaningful relationships. It does take way too long to get to the point in some of the episodes where it focuses on either the boring YA story arcs or focuses on events from previous episodes before introducing the next monster in a sense. I loved Haunted Mask with a passion (my favorite of the Goosebumps villains, thanks to the TV show with the four episodes- both two parters), but this mask ain't it. The mask itself looks creepy, but they really could have said it to be one of the Unloved ones (the other masks), and I could maybe deal with that as that's how I kept internalizing it, when the mask had the creepy smile, it looked somewhat better. The gremlin CGI isn't good and I didn't like it though Isabella (the troll girl) was probably the most tolerable of the characters given how much her life sucks to where she reminded me of the Creeped Out episode Kindlesticks girl. The other characters are pretty boring or just plain annoying. Justin Long isn't that great at all, he just felt boring or he kept overacting to where it felt cringe for me. I didn't mind Nora, then again her actress was Susan Heffley in the Diary of the Wimpy Kid trilogy movies (there is no fourth one lol), and she's probably the only parent actually good, as the others just suck ass and play ignorance because good character decisions can only come down to one person. Overall this show is very below average to bad for me, and I watched all 5 episodes in a day and I just felt tired. I may just finish this show, but I'm glad this isn't the only live action Goosebumps we have given we have the old 90's TV show and both movies (yeah I liked both of them). Not sure this one will get Season 2, honestly hoping it doesn't as that means the anthology route may happen if this show ends prematurely.
Sony and Disney agree to release this show as is, man. They’re both to blame lol.
And, no, there’s no way this will get a season 2-if they ever made it, it’d totally be out of spite and not because of any form of supposed success, in my opinion 😂
I blame Sony for how they made it. Disney merely distributed it so I don’t have much a reason to blame them. If they were involved in the creation process, then maybe, but they weren’t so I’m not going to go at them for merely being the ones to post this, feels pointless to me.
Depends what happens I suppose. If the viewership doesn’t do well, they may axe the show much like Willow was.
@@chaitanyatanamala1464 Bruh, they both agreed to publish this product this way. They’re both to blame lol.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 I guess I'm just more annoyed with the guys who made it, then the guys who distributed it. That's just my take. You're free to blame them both.
@@chaitanyatanamala1464 that’s fair, dude hahah
after watching the new goosebumps show on Disney plus
know I hate Disney
There’s so many of us that do, man 😂
Damn I actually loved it oof
There’s nothing wrong with that, man hahah. Just because I hated it doesn’t mean you have to.
Hope you’ll continue to enjoy it, even though I can warn you ahead of time that pretty much every review I’ve done for the series has been negative, so far 😂
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934
"There’s nothing wrong with that, man hahah. Just because I hated it doesn’t mean you have to. "
What? But I heard from some random assholes on r/saltierthankrayt you were just a gatekeeping asshole!
Disney does own Hulu, but 100% glad that Disney is letting them do their own thing. Like the movie Prey and shows like The Bear. Disney is just the sponsor and that's it. With only 5 episodes it still to early to tell out of 10 episodes. There might be one episodes that out shines them all.
Love how they said it be funny and entertaining its not the original was. Now riverdale based off archie but least was entertaining and not a complete rip off of something actual good. I watch it and it to much of a mixed between chucky show and riverdale. If you going to remake something it needs to actually be different and good. This not different yet alone good and now the actors in it i liked i now fully dislike!!!!
A lot of people are drawing that Riverdale comparison, and it’s 100% true hahah.
Guess it’s not worth my time then right Michael?
In my opinion? Absolutely not lol
@MamaDollyStitchsQueen well every Goosebumps UA-camr so far says it’s bad.
@MamaDollyStitchsQueen Why would I have to lie over my opinion? Lol. Get outta here, shill.
@MamaDollyStitchsQueen Having a differing opinion isn't lying. Cope.
Might as well spoil this trash haha. I dont have hulu so ill most likely just pass entirely and just watch your reviews.
Good thinking, man. Problem is that my brian continues to delete it, after I watch each episode lol.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 probably best to do so to keep your love for goosebumps alive!
Michael Goosebumpsfan, you KNOW this series is not going to get better!🤣C'mon, be honest, man, LOL!
I’m going to start episode four later, but the first three have been absolutely dreadful, man 😂 I definitely don’t see it getting better lol
So disappointing... Thanks for watching it for me lol definitely not gonna watch it. I wish it was just like the 90s series even with the old cameras and everything
I’m sorry, man hahah. What a shame this one was.
yep, checklist bullshit. everything is basically the same cause of millenial writers
That and the dangers of post-modernism. Sucks, man.
Dawg why out every franchise you gotta do this to goosebumps
Agreed lol. Thanks for watching.
I think its okay. A bit cringe at times, but enough to keep me engaged.
Michael Kikle?
Yeah! That was an old channel of mine from eight years ago lol. I still use it as a channel to watch a lot of my old subscriptions to.
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 well it’s good to see you I was entirely different person back then and I get the feeling that you were too, god bless brother
@@davidguerrero7066 Yeah, sort of hahah. I sometimes miss those days, because I like that style of video making.
It’s good to see you here, and God bless you!
My weekend is ruined 😪🤣.
Hoping slappy episodes are cool atleast?
They probably won’t be episodic, man 😂
@@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 ah hell. Thanks autocorrect 🤣
Yah, I know what you mean. They just don't make shows the same. I love the original and watching the new one, you just don't feel the scary vibe like in the original. Like I told monsterblood, they should've stuck with the vibe they used to give out in the original. Use kids that are 12 and younger like you used to. Don't use college kids. I get it was aimed for older kids now. But come on, I watched it and I didn't feel that vibe. I kinda liked it. But it wasn't scary. But I do hope they realize this and they try harder.
Agreed, man. They made poor choice after poor choice, with this one. I can’t believe what they’ve done to haunted mask hahah. They’re going to destroy Slappy, I can feel it in my bones. I’m three episodes in, at this point, and nothing has improved. The discord were ranting so hard over this stuff, last night, it was amazing hahah.
Just beyond was meh, don’t worry, you aren’t missing anything
I heard that a lot from other fans in the community hahah. I liked the first comic from the franchise. Really solid.
I would say the last episode of that show, The Treehouse was easily the best episode of the eight. Actually heartwarming/creepy. The others are more of a hit or miss, but there are like two more that are decent, the monster one and the operahouse one. @@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934
