10 What's Cooking - More & More Tales to Give you Goosebumps

Can you think of anything worse than spending summer at school catching up on maths? Robert and his cousin, Diana, need to attend a recently reopened school, Mill Road School. The school was closed sometime after a cook named Susan Chopman worked there. She was infamous for her terrible cooking often shocking children with dishes like Chop Suey and Meat Surprise. It earned her the nickname Chop Suey which eventually drove her crazy, causing her to attack several students with a cleaver until she was arrested. Legend says she died in a factory accident after her release from prison, but you can summon her ghost by repeating her name, Chop Suey, three times.

Robert and his cousin Diana flunked Math and are now forced to spend their summer at Mill Road School. Unfortunately for them, this is the same school where according to legend, a cook by the name of Susan Chopman worked. Given the nickname "Chop Suey" for her terrible Chinese food dish, Susan apparently went mad and attacked children in the cafeteria with a cleaver until she was arrested, and later, died in a factory accident. Arriving at the school, Diana decides to see if the story could be true. She says the name Chop Suey three times, and as she does, all of the faucets turns on at once. The two run off in terror until they discover it was actually a plumber. However, strange things continue to happen after Diana's chant, and it seems Chop Suey has come back to life. First, Robert discovers his sandwich has been replaced with raw liver, Second, the two discover a canvas that appears to have been attacked by a cleaver. Lastly, a large woman calling herself Aunt Sue begins appearing in the kitchen, serving "meat surprise", just like the legends said Chop Suey did.
When the two go to school the following day, they are confronted by Aunt Sue, angry that they refused to eat the lunch she served. Aunt Sue becomes enraged once they begin to call her Chop Suey. She chases them down the hall, attempting to slice them down with her cleaver, saying they'll be tomorrow's meat surprise. The two begin to work out a plan to defeat her, and in a last effort begin chanting her name backwards. This ends up working, and Chop Suey is sucked back to the afterlife.
At home, Robert discovers his mother ordering Chinese food. She begins complaining that his father again ordered Chop Suey, repeating the name three times, despite their cries. A ring is heard at the doorbell, and she asks Robert to get it.

When Urban Legends attack.
I'm gonna miss these.

Well this is it. The final tales to give you goosebumps story uploaded.....and man did it end on a scary great fun high note! I really loved this one with an urban legend feel and the spirit Chop Suey was very horrifying with how enraged she gets if no one likes her meals. (cutthroat even or cleave throat in this case). The ending was pretty chilling too with it being open ended having that their nightmare with the angry ghost may not be over after all....

I’ve got a few more ideas cooking up. The triple header series, maybe some of the choose your own adventures if I can work out a good way to skip around on the timeline… and I recently picked up a make your own story card game. Maybe I’ll try my hand at some Goosebumps inspired writing 😝

I hope you can do audiobooks of some of the bigger goosebumps like phantom of the auditorium

[@LeftoverculturereviewLeftovers]

Definitely something I’d like to tackle as time permits. Or even some of the choose your own adventures. Using time stamps to navigate the different stories

@@LeftoverculturereviewLeftovers cause most goosebumps don't have organic narrations. Those auto narrator's mispronounce half the words too.
