Goosebumps #19 – “Deep Trouble”

I have to give this book props for a couple of reasons. First, the scene on the cover actually did happen. There was a shark attack, though it’s not exactly the most important part of the book. I guess if

The Neverending Story – Pt. 1

Yay for movie recaps! I wanted to switch things up a bit, so let’s see how this goes, shall we? I seriously loved this movie as a kid–still love it, I think. While I’m mostly a fan of the book,

Goosebumps #36 – “The Haunted Mask II”

Halloween only comes once a year, but when you recap Goosebumps books, you can celebrate just as often as you’ve got the Halloween-themed books to supply it. In true Halloween spirit, I made sure to gobble down as much leftover

Goosebumps #48 – “Attack of the Jack-O’-Lanterns

I know, I know. It’s not quite Halloween any more, but hopefully this wonderful book (with it’s pumpkin-headed villains and WTF ending) will still be a treat. Note the trick-or-treaters on the cover–obviously wearing your normal clothes, but jamming a

The Baby-Sitters Club #2 – “Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls”

Yay! A Claudia book! She’s always had a special place in my heart. We’ve got a lot in common. As a kid, I was also… um… less than brainy. I know what you’re thinking–little asian girls with bad grades exist

Damn, I missed you guys. I swore to myself that I’d update this blog every single week, but look how long it’s been since my last post. Five weeks long, that’s what. I’ve got no excuses–we’re all busy. I don’t

Are You Afraid of the Dark? – The Tale of Apartment 214

So here we are again in front of the roaring campfire. Tucker’s being his usual pesky self, messing around with Gary’s bag o’ magic dust and telling Frank he’s dead from the neck up. Ha ha. I kind of like

Elena Cullen

I’m about half-way through THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, with no sympathetic characters in sight. In this section, learned that Elena’s parents died in a car accident a few years ago, which I guess is supposed to make me like her, but

Preliminary thoughts on “The Vampire Diaries”

So here’s the thing… I’m trying to read this book. The whole thing is available for free online from HarperTeen in anticipation of the new show premiering soon on the CW, so I figured, “Why they hell not?” I’m only

Goosebumps #16 – “One Day at HorrorLand”

I know the cover says that HorrorLand is “where nightmares come to life,” but honestly most of the rides in this amusement park sounded pretty fun to me, but I’m a big fan of scary movies and haunted houses, so
