It's the 30th Anniversary of Goosebumps and what better way to celebrate our good pal RLS's accomplishment than a new episode?!

Bailey School Drop Outs: The Tale of Laughing in the Dark Apr 01, 2022

Show notes

Let's face it, books are for nerds. It's all about TV now. The Bailey School Dropouts have quit the world of Childrens Horror Literature and will take a quick trip into Canadian Childrens Horror Television. Zeebo the Clown awaits in the fun house. Smoke'em if you got'em.

April Fool.

The Haunted Car Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

Happy Holidays! We're rollin out! Matt and Dave wanted to fill your stockings with the RL Stine, Goosebumps 2000 Classic, The Haunted Car!

I know what you're thinking.

"Is The Haunted Car a holiday book?"

And to that we reply, "Shut up and go with it."

The Calling All Creeps Podcast Finale Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

All good things must come to an end. Is that why the Goosebumps franchise is still going strong? (We kid.)

We would like to thank everyone for embarking on this journey with us. It was a passion project devoted to nostalgia and friendship with no expectations or real direction. We never expected to find so many thoughtful, passionate, and hilarious like-minded people along the way and for that we are truly grateful.

You'll always be our Cute Little Stine-Heads.

Jizzingly yours,

Matt & Dave

Ep 62. Monster Blood IV Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

You know how most people finish off their grand projects with a big bang? Not our boy RLS. "Fizzle and Die" is the best way to describe the ending of the Goosebumps original 62. He was already working on the Goosebumps 2000 series at this point. (Insert that meme of the guy with the girlfriend looking at the other girl.) Also, this is the final Goosebumps book and we are free of this curse.

Ep. 61 I Live in Your Basement Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

Friend of the pod and artist Gene (@melt.gif) helps Matt and Dave tackle one of the final books in the original 62 Goosebumps! We are super happy that RL Stine has returned to a tried and true plot device. Our good friend Head Trauma returns in this action packed book about misremembering and taking baseball bats to the dome!

Ep 60. Werewolf Skin Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

RL Stine has been holding back this whole time. Severed heads, people peeling off their skin, murdering neighbors, near death car accidents, home made doughnuts, this book has it all! Only three more books in the original 62 Goosebumps and this one is helping it end with a high note!
