[00:10:19] Podcast There Including We We'll We'll Doesn't Have We'll Do The We're

[00:10:49] We're Trying to lack anymore. They all use the same repetitive formula. So we had really good success with that at Kirst City and a lot of people really enjoyed that. The interaction with us hosting the panel, all the different guests there, what we bring in terms of like doing skits there like we did with Avery, things like that. I mean, just a lot of fun aspects that you don't get anywhere else. So

[00:11:18] that's on that. One other thing though, before we jump into our lovely topic this evening, which I find very interesting, something Hayden brought up and I thought, okay, yeah, no, that's actually really, that'd be really fun to do. But we want to start a potential new segment called What Gives You Goosebumps? This will be done during the off weeks of a normal podcast episode

[00:11:44] like this one. We're thinking more along the lines of like, even though we're the Goosebumps crew, I know I've mentioned this before, but Goosebumps doesn't have a lot of stuff left for us to talk about that we can truly get to due to the fact that like you'd actually have to talk with someone who was a part of that production or a part of that process. There are very few and far between

[00:12:09] of those anymore that we can actually find and even less that want to actually do something like on camera or can remember enough to actually make time usage. So that said, we kind of like the idea of spanning out onto other horror, other pieces of the horror genre,

[00:12:33] whether that's kids horror or not. I mean, we feel like there's a lot of YouTubers that cover all this anyway, but you know, we talk about horror a lot on here outside of just Goosebumps. And we thought, Hey, why not just make it a bi-weekly series if we can. Um, but we want to know what you guys think. Is that something you'd be interested in, uh, on this channel? Like, you know, segment be called what gives you Goosebumps. So there's no

[00:13:04] specifically Goosebumps. We don't, wouldn't be talking about like, for instance, uh, one movie Hayden's really excited for coming up is the back room or back rooms. Uh, so I personally, I like, I, I have not known a lot about this, but if it's something that you guys really want to like, listen to us about, uh, I would, I would see that film. I would go see it. Um, you know,

[00:13:31] and then we could talk about it on here. I'll dive into the lore a bit more. Uh, but we could discuss even more, uh, how do I want more niche things, things that a lot of people probably forgot about like my pet monster back here, you know, it had a, it had an episode and then it had Alison court in it, uh, which a lot of you may know. And, you know, I also had our, our lovely, uh, you know, shopkeeper

[00:13:58] Colin Fox in it. Um, so just saying we could discuss that and it's still kind of ties in because we've had Colin Fox on here before may rest in peace. Um, but yeah, so let us know down the comments and all that. If you are very interested in a topic on other horror rather than goosebumps.

[00:14:21] So Hayden, what is our topic this evening? Since you thought of it, you get to tell us all about it. Sounds good. So you mentioned Kyle Dodd does the voice of slappy, right? He's also part of another franchise. That's a, you know, a little bit underground called a Marvel, right? Marvel, the cinematic universe. Now part of that with, uh, X-Men 97. Um, and Marvel released a television

[00:14:49] show a couple of years ago, um, called what if spawns from a comic book series and also a book series that I am actually in the middle of reading this one. Uh, this is what if Mark Spector was host to venom. So moon night, what if moon night was venom? Um, they have several other books. This one I'm going to be reading next. It is, uh, what if Wanda Maximoff and Peter Parker were siblings?

[00:15:14] So the kind of concept about this was looking at the goosebumps series, specifically starting off with the original 62 and going through alternate timelines or alternate universes behind what could have happened in those books had certain things not happened. So for example, in welcome to dead

[00:15:35] house, what if Amanda and Josh never escaped dark falls. So just different kinds of variations of what the series could have looked like, what it have turned more into an adult horror kind of aspect. If Amanda and Josh never left, you know, when they have died and turned into ghouls or zombies or

[00:16:00] whatever kind of creatures they are in dark falls, cause it's never really explained. Right. They're not necessarily zombies. Yeah. Vamp. Yeah. Vampires, zombies, zombies, zombies, zombies, zombies, um, but yeah, we'll, we're going to start off with the, the first five books in the series, uh, in the original 62. If we get to all five, um, if not, this may be like a, a three book sort of situation, just kind of going through it. But, um, yeah, that's, that's the general concept of this, uh,

[00:16:30] little mini series. Well, it's, uh, it's something that we're, I think would be really fun deep diving into all these different goosebumps books. Uh, so we're going to do the first original 62. Uh, we'll see if we go beyond that, uh, for the what if category here, but we'll see if we can get through five books on this episode and we'll do that every episode that we do this series,

[00:16:58] of course, it won't be consecutive, you know, and we won't, we don't, we kind of want to sprinkle it out a little bit. So you'll get a little bit of break. So you'll just, you know, have to keep an eye on if you want to catch the next, you know, five or three or, or what have you. Um, but I'm curious though, if, if Scarlet Witch and Spider-Man are going to be brother and sister in that universe, isn't there already a Scarlet Spider? Yeah. Yeah. But that's, oh, who is that?

[00:17:28] See what I did there? You Marvel geeks out there. You're welcome. It's not me. I can't get into that stuff. So just to quickly go over it, it says, uh, all Wanda has ever known as her friendly little neighborhood in Queens. After her parents died, she was adopted as an infant into a family where her doting aunt may and uncle Ben would always be at the breakfast table. One that includes her

[00:17:57] idiot brother, Peter Parker, who thinks hiding a spider bite, joining a secret fight club and becoming a superhero are somehow good ideas. So kind of an alternate timeline. I don't know. Technically Wanda in like comic lore is Magneto's daughter. So I don't know if it's saying like that Magneto died and that that's, she got adopted by Aunt May. Well, again, it depends on your version. I know this isn't a Marvel discussion guys. I realize, you know,

[00:18:27] quite a bit. So I'll, I'll keep that thought to myself. I'm sorry. I was about to go on a tangent there about, Oh, well, you know, Magneto kind of like, didn't even know he had kids in one timeline and another one he did, but he didn't give a shit. He was deadbeat. Uh, he was, he was still trying to, you know, destroy the X-Men and shit said, ah, screw them kids. But yes, um, well, mine was more or less a joke on the fact that there is a Scarlet spider. And I just thought it was funny. It was

[00:18:54] Scarlet witch and Spider-Man. So it is, are they Scarlet spider? But I will say just to, just to quickly say it, these books are incredible. Like definitely give them a read. Uh, they're all done by different authors. So like this one is done by Mike Chen and this one is, uh, Seanan Maguire, I think is the author's name. Um, but yeah, Seanan Maguire, um, definitely worth

[00:19:24] reading. Uh, they're incredible reads. They're fun. They're more adult, uh, themed in nature. So, um, if you're into Marvel at all, the Marvel lore, definitely a fun read. So I'll get off my soapbox about the Marvel, Marvel, what if books? We appreciate it. We're DC fans around here, Dan. Never left. They never left. Yeah. I mean, Amanda and Josh never left Darkfall. So I'm just thinking,

[00:19:52] so the way the book ended, all right. So, I mean, they obviously did escape. So if they didn't escape, I would have Josh and Amanda would be like the new, like, I mean, obviously they would have been bitten, turned into ghouls. You know, I, I don't, I don't think that they would have just like, cause obviously they didn't escape. So they obviously got bitten, right? That, that, that's my,

[00:20:15] that's what I'm going to guess. Uh, I would, for me, I would have it that they become like the new male and the new, like the new leaders, if that makes sense. Like, do you know what I mean? Like, I don't think that they would just kind of disappear, um, into the, once it goes like some walking dead stuff, I feel like they would be like the new, the new leaders of the, of Darkfalls.

[00:20:39] Like maybe, maybe, you know, Amanda becomes like the new male or something, you know? And Josh is like the little, I don't know, still the annoying assistant, but brother, you know? Like, I don't know. That's, that's how I would see it playing out maybe, you know? And then they're the ones that have to help, you know, obviously lure in new, new victims. I think that'd be pretty cool. You know? I like that idea of them two becoming the new, um, new bosses almost, you know?

[00:21:10] Kind of looking through the back pages here. Undead. So, I don't know, like, uh, I can't remember, but what was the reason why none of them ever left that town? Was there a reason that they said? Do you mean like, actually, like in the book? Like why they couldn't leave? Yeah, like, like, why did they, why did the like, ghoulie vampire, whatever we want to call them, we'll just say the undead, why did they just stay in Darkfalls? Like, why didn't

[00:21:38] they? Well, they were all part of that chemical. Why did they lure people in rather than just leave and go get food? You know what I mean? I felt too afraid to, you know, because obviously Darkfall, they, they let all the trees and everything grow really tall and big and they did no pooling like of, you know, so it was like their little safe haven, you know, away from, you know, like if they would try and

[00:22:06] leave, you know, they would have, they would have had to really figure out how they're going to do that. Well, the sun, am I wrong? The sun, like they couldn't black out the window where like a motorcycle helmet while you're driving and cover up. So you're not getting exposed to UV or anything like there's ways around it. And then, and then if it was the tree thing, they could just go to a state park, you know, hit the first state park and start picking off hikers and shit, you know, everybody campers and stuff. Everybody's staying around

[00:22:34] there. Well, they were kind of keeping it secret. Like they didn't really want people to know like what was going on, you know, like they, they had their own little, like they had their community, little, little community, you know, and they, yeah, but they were starving. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know if I was starving, I'm not going to stay in the town and have food. I'm going to go look, I'm going to go look for food. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to wait for the food to come to me. You know? Well, they, and you know what, they would always rely on Mr. Dawes to, to be a

[00:23:02] good salesman and bring in one family. Like, Oh, come on, bro. Like one family for a whole town. Jesus. Like we're starving. I mean, yeah. Well, yeah. And you know what though, the way I look at that is the more people they bring in and, you know, convert, you know, to becoming like them, like zombie vampires, you know, bringing in one family would start to not be enough.

[00:23:31] Do you know what I mean? Because the town's growing, the community's growing and you bring four or five people. Like, and then eventually if you've got, let's say you had like 300 people in the town and then you're at a thousand people, like, what are you supposed to do? You're going to bring in, you're going to have to open up a couple of those homes, Mr. Dawes. Uh, like that's what I'm saying. Like a whole town that's hungry, man. You just bring a family of four. Come on, bro. You know, I mean, when I think of what if, I mean, it's fine.

[00:24:00] So that's how I think of what if there, I feel like there's a couple of ways to go about it because the end of the book, the family makes it out. It's just the dog that apparently died and, you know, at the end, that was the twist, you know? Yeah. But you know, what if, you know, it's kind of got to flip the script a little bit. So, you know, you got to put somebody in somebody else's shoes per se. So in that sense, I mean, I really don't

[00:24:29] know who I would flip the script on in this because you don't get a lot of detail outside of like the next door neighbors and Mr. Dawes. Uh, you know, it's mostly focused on the kids and the other kids interaction, the undead kids interaction. So, I mean, in that sense, I mean, I guess you could say maybe if you're going to go dark, even you could say like the kids

[00:24:59] died and the parents got out or one of them did. And then, you know, try to tell people what's happening here, but nobody believes them, of course, because that sounds ludicrous. Um, you know, they could frame the dad for killing his family. If he's the one who made it out, you know, I mean, there's a lot of dark ways you can go with this, like a what if scenario. So,

[00:25:24] I mean, he could straight up go like Ash versus evil dead kind of stuff and go back to that town and just start with his chainsaw arm and start jacking people up, you know, like, well, I, so I'm reading the last page. If his kids were killed and have the motive to do it. Yeah. I'm reading the last page of the book. The book ends from what I'm just quickly skimming through it. Um,

[00:25:49] it ends with like another family moving in and they speed off. Like it says scenario is if, if they didn't leave dark falls, they write a new, but would that family, would the new family come in? And then that it would be the same story repeated, but now Amanda and Josh are the friends to these two kids pretty much. That'd be like the new neighborhood. I would think so. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:26:16] If the, if the story were to repeat, yeah. But as a what if story, um, I don't know, like, again, like you, you have to put a, what if does a lot of character switching, you know, like kind of like we talked about at the start of this episode, but you also get to the point of, uh, even just straight up saying like, you know, what if iron man was black Panther or

[00:26:39] whatever? It's like, that's a bit weird. Right. But that's why it's called what if, so coming up with a scenario with welcome to dead house that hasn't been done before technically, but kind of at the same time. I mean, if you're going to cross over universes like that, technically we could just say, what if, uh, Grady never went to fever swamp, but he went to dark falls. Yeah.

[00:27:06] That would be, I mean, I'm just saying like, that'd be really interesting. Other stories and bring them into this other environment instead. So what if Grady and his family never moved there, but they went to dark falls. How would that be different? Because they were scientists and everything, you know, it wasn't just like, Oh, we got this house for real, real good deal guys. Let's move in here. Mr. Dolls is such a cool guy. Uh, you know, it's

[00:27:31] they're scientists. So, I mean, like it's very logical for them to maybe see some other things going wrong. Right. Uh, kind of like that. What if side of it, or kind of like what Stein did later with crossovers, you know, you get a Freddie versus Jason action. What if it was the brewers who moved there and then the plant stuff already happened? You know what I'm saying? It was

[00:27:56] interesting to think about like a, what if, yeah. Yeah. What if, what if Dr. Brewer was in dark falls that? Wow. That's interesting. He would have utilized the, the, the fucking surroundings. Like, you know, he would have, he would have injected whatever into those fucking trees and they would have attacked all the, the townspeople would be like, Oh, well, we're sorry. He takes one of those,

[00:28:24] you know, zombie children and then turns them to like a hybrid zombie plant thing. Would that be like, Oh, it's no longer plants versus zombies. Right. It's plant zombie. Concept. So, all right. So for stay out of the basement, for stay out of the basement, then Hayden, what, what's our, what if?

[00:28:47] So there's, there's a couple different ones that I saw is that, so what if the, the, the kind of the base one was what if the plant clone did actually replace the father? What if, what if the clone replaced Dr. Brewer? So like permanently. So there's a lot, I'm what changed from the episode to the book?

[00:29:12] Well, cause I'm thinking of like the plant food and all of that family. So yeah, he would have made plant copies of the whole family. He wanted to make plant copies of the whole family in the end, right? That was, so that was his kind of mission. But would that, would that have extended on past? Yeah. He would have, he would have, he would have succeeded a hundred percent. But would that have extended past the family and gone into like a whole dominant?

[00:29:39] They, they dominated that even in the episode when they discussed, um, when he, what happened to, uh, his other friend, uh, the other professor or whatever. Yeah. I can't remember his name right now, man. I am having like a day of just trying to remember shit. Wow. Um, you guys don't know this listening or watching this episode, but man, like even earlier, I'm like,

[00:30:04] that guy's name. I can't remember, but yeah, that's it. That's the one. I guess it does kind of end on that. What if ending because of the plants at the very end, um, or the flowers that, well, that more or less to me, again, my interpretation, I figured that was

[00:30:26] just more of like the experiment seeping into the soil around the house rather than, you know, actually taking over other things that just happened to, to, to leak out from the basement. Cause they were all right by that window where the basement and experiments were happening. Um, but you know, one of the fun endings that we talked about a long time ago was, you know, Margaret's tying her shoe instead of the plants talking to her, she gets a tap on her

[00:30:55] shoulder and it's a copy of her. Oh yeah. Yeah. Then it ends, you know? Uh, so it's, it's one of those things like, again, like, but we're, if you go the what if route, we don't look at like alternate endings. We look at alternate universes. So you'd have to take adults, adults,

[00:31:18] characters from another book and kind of logically throw them in a different universe that they shouldn't be in. So if we're looking at that, who else in the, who else would replace, you know, the brewers? Cause like I said, I thought it'd be funny if the brewers went to, you know, dead house when they went to dark falls, you know how that might've set up differently,

[00:31:44] you know? Cause what if it was the plant dad rather than the actual Dr. Brewer who had made it to dark falls? Um, you know, you got plants versus zombies at that point. They wouldn't have wanted to eat here. They wouldn't, they wouldn't have wanted to eat. They would, but they wouldn't, they, but they wouldn't know what was like, why he's different. You know, that could be a whole evolving story even like, because what if he didn't replace his family yet? So yeah, I know you

[00:32:13] could get a vegan zombie, I guess. He, he would have made the plant copies. He, if this was an R-rated goosebumps, he would have made the plant copies and you would have seen him, Ash versus Evil Dead, chopping up the real Margaret and Casey. Okay. So, so here's, this, this is actually, I just did another variation of this where, okay, so we're, we're going through the first five, right? Monster blood is up next. What if Dr. Brewer created monster blood?

[00:32:44] That kind of makes sense. You know, you could still go on the scientist route and he could, he could have made a biococytin trying to make the plants grow bigger. Yep. That's what was oozing out of him. Yeah. Technically his blood could be the monster blood that he uses to grow the plants faster. If you wanted to go that route. Yeah, sure. Uh, yeah. I mean, monster. Now granted,

[00:33:11] I mean, it doesn't have to be a family just, you know, from the first five books, you know, we're talking about anything. So if you guys got ideas out there, comment down below, let us know what you think would be a good, what if scenario, you know, cause I, I think it's interesting. Like if Grady ended up at dead house, but you know, if you want to stick to werewolf stories, even, you know, we'll get down to that road later, of course, you know, great. You can always cross over to another werewolf book that we all know and love too.

[00:33:41] Well, we'll talk about that later. Um, but we're talking the first five. Oh, what if Arjun came the, well, that's the thing you can take, you can take characters, even side characters. They don't have to be main characters. We just say main characters. Cause that's primarily what if

[00:34:04] used was like Thor and Hulk and, but they just put them in different scenarios of another individual's role. So, you know, like we mentioned earlier, Stark to black Panther, uh, Hulk to basically like Loki tree God kind of deal holding down the fort of the, you know, Bifrost or whatever. But I mean, like there's, there's tons of shit. Um, so when you think of it in that aspect, it's a lot more fun

[00:34:32] because like, you know, monster blood. Yeah. What if, you know, Arjun was just like, yeah, monster blood. Let me have some. Oh, good. And then you get a monster blood three scenario on that dude, just blows up to 80 feet, a hundred feet. And he's going around. Yeah.

[00:34:58] The other one is whatever this, this one's kind of unique. What if Hannah from the ghost next door moved in next door to the Brewers? I don't know how that'd play out. Oh, what if Hannah from the ghost next door moved in with the Brewers? I don't know if you're in your audio is really, really low. Now you might want to check your mic,

[00:35:25] buddy. I don't know what's going on here. My mic, my Micah, your Micah. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. I can hear you a little bit. Hello. I don't know, man. That was better. I can hear that pretty well. Now, but yeah, I, um, I don't know. That'd be

[00:35:52] really interesting. I mean, if we look at other like stories with characters that had similar, but not similar scenarios, I don't know. Who do we think would be? Cause what magic blood or monster blood was magic. Magic blood. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. All right.

[00:36:18] What about the blob that ate everybody? What, what if monster blood infected the blob that ate everyone? Oh, um, I don't know. I feel like they would just, they would just mesh into one big giant thing. Like a big, a big purple green blob. Super blob. Super blob. Yeah. Like it would just be like green and it would just be like,

[00:36:47] would that become like an unstoppable force kind of thing? It would look like, uh, I think of the pink and green swirled together would just look like a big thing of ice cream. Or maybe like if you've ever been to Starbucks and had that strawberry matcha, which is delicious. I think it would look like that. So that thing would be unstoppable. Oh man. Yeah. I don't know. That's why I don't know. Monster blood. I think it's kind of a tough one to try to fit in because really you could throw any

[00:37:17] protagonist from any other and put them in that same scenario because I think the outcome was primarily the same unless you choose a protagonist family like the brewers that actually had an antagonist inside of it at the same time to, to kind of mix things up. But I don't want to use the brewers for everything either. I feel that's a cop out in a way, but it works though. I'm telling

[00:37:42] you, like brewers, monster blood, using it to create large plant monsters, like makes perfect sense to me. How would Slappy have used monster blood? If Slappy got a hold of it. He ate it to grow big for sure. He would have eaten it, grown really big, and just, yeah, terror out. Enslaved the world. Like a big giant Godzilla.

[00:38:12] You're all my slaves. Like a big giant Godzilla. A Godzilla Slappy sounds terrifying. To tell you the truth. But he doesn't talk. He just has like the Godzilla like... He just has the Godzilla screech, like when he like talks. I don't know man. I'm like... I don't know. I'm trying to think of that concept, but I don't know. It'd be tough. I mean... You already don't think about that.

[00:38:43] I mean, you could try to throw... Because you gotta look at... See, I don't know. That's what makes it tough. Like I want to... I want to say when you look at other characters from other books in the... We'll call it the Steinverse of the original 62. I mean... Would you say maybe Harry Larry... Would want to get in on some monster blood? He could be the big dog. See what I did there?

[00:39:14] Okay. That was terrible. But we're gonna leave it in. Hey, Harry. Harry. Harry Larry. Um, but yeah, no, I mean like... I kind of feel like Dead House, we had a pretty good thing. I mean, I'm not playing with Dr. Brewer with Plants vs. Zombies. Yes. In that sense. But to take another, you know, protagonist from another book series and throw them in monster blood, like I said, kind of feels like it really could be any of them.

[00:39:45] Maybe I'm not thinking of one that somebody out there can think of one. If you do, the next time we do one of these episodes, we'll mention it. About Deep Trouble, for sure. So... Like if you had Deep Trouble 2, I guess. Maybe that would experiment. Deep Trouble 2. Yeah. That was more, uh, scientist experiment stuff, too, so... Or...

[00:40:15] Well, I mean... I don't know. What do you guys think about that one? I don't know. We'll tuck it out for most of the day. Yeah. Monster blood's a tough one because, again, you can literally throw... It could work for anybody. Like, it's kind of wild because... To me, at least, unless you throw in another antagonist against it, but this isn't a versus series.

[00:40:42] I mean, Marvel does have a versus system card game. You know, with DC, it's called just literally versus system. We're not doing the versus system, though, okay? We're not doing this antagonist versus this antagonist. We're doing... We're doing what-ifs. So, what if... Or you could just go this route. What if... Uh... Sarah never had to, you know, be bottled up as a cat... Crazy cat lady. Yeah.

[00:41:13] You know? You know? And then she... It's like, oh, no, I don't really need the monster blood. But then she gave it to Granny, and Granny's like, yeah, I'll take that shit. Now, she's the antagonist. You know, you gotta flip the rolls here. That's some foot cream. Oh, dear God. Maybe, yeah. Then she puts it into those old... Puts it in those cookies for Old Story. Oh, no. Yeah. And then she puts some monster blood into that so she can make...

[00:41:43] So, wouldn't that be the giant babies? Monsters grow. No. No, they'd be giant old people. And that's terrifying. Giant old people? Oh, yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm just thinking of strained peas. Strained peas is the one where they turn the babies. Yeah. Yeah. That's the... Yeah. Old Story is the one where they eat the raisin cookies or whatever. The prune cookies.

[00:42:07] That's where their supposed aunt is pimping them out to her golden girls. That's really messed up, but that's what it is. Somehow made it to children's television. That was the 90s for you. Yep. That would be a good one. What if... What if they never discovered the baby food and they just kept getting old and they literally just... They would have died. Yeah. They would have died without a 401k.

[00:42:37] That's what would have happened. The sad reality of life, but... Sad reality. I think it's underrated. I think it's underrated. And they did a good job of making them look old, especially for the 90s. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I guess... Guys, I know you're watching this and you're like, go so part of the original 6-2. Okay, we get it. We go on tangents here. This is what happens. Our minds don't stay focused, okay? We were like ADHD kids. We were...

[00:43:07] I felt like we were still on track there. Monster blood? Monster blood? Monster blood old story cookies? We jumped into episodes. That was my fault, though, because I just thought it was hilarious to have monster blood cookies that the old lady gave to them so that way they could have giant old men. Yep. But, you know. I guess... Because everyone likes a tall guy, right? Yep. Right? Next one, say cheese and die. Giant old men with giant something.

[00:43:37] This one goes into your Grady comment. What if Grady, in Werewolf of Fever Swamp, in that story, had the haunted camera? I think it works better with the werewolf skin story because they focused on photography at that one. Yeah. Yeah, that would be good. So, it'd be funny if the camera he used... Oh! Was the haunted camera? Because he takes the photo. On them was the haunted camera.

[00:44:06] So what kind of photos would that camera have taken in werewolf skin? Like, of the... Because he would have taken photos of his, you know, his aunt and uncle, right? So, how would that have twisted? Like, when he took the photos of them? Like, how would that have... Oh. Oh. There's so many avenues in this one. Because it, like, predicts the future in, like, a twisted way. It can, yeah.

[00:44:33] I mean, and one of them could be just the fact that he takes a picture of them, but it's, you know, them as werewolves instead. And that'd be weird, you know? But it's telling because that's obviously a twisted future. Mm-hmm. And maybe this is before they find the skins, you know what I mean? And he doesn't understand why the picture came out like this. And then all of a sudden, now his aunt and uncle have those skins. I don't know. There's a neat story maybe to tell there. And maybe that's how he saves them, too.

[00:45:00] And he has to take pictures of the skins, you know, and it shows them exploding or something. Yeah. And that's how the future is told for the skins or something. But I don't know. I mean, there could be something interesting there. I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to that. Or he takes a photo of them, but then he sees himself. Well, this is almost like what Goosebump books could cross over. Honestly. And I feel like those two... Well, that's what what-ifs really are.

[00:45:29] I mean, you're taking characters from the same universe, but different stories and crossing them over. So, I mean, it could be just a scenario of what if, for instance, let's say the... Again, man, I'm getting old. I must be getting Alzheimer's or something. I don't even know. I'm forgetting crap left and right. So, is it Dr. Shock? Yeah. Dr. Shock from Shock Round Shock Street.

[00:45:57] You know, take him in a scenario of what if, I don't know, say let's... They're full of scientists here. So, what if he took over for Grady's dad in Fever Swamp kind of scenario? You know what I'm saying? Like, because Grady's dad died mysteriously in Fever Swamp and the family left, but they needed the research done.

[00:46:21] So, he came in and now he's got, like, you know, his robotic skill parts of it scientifically mixed in with other things. The research that, you know, his dad... We can do something like that. And again, I probably just totally stole that for a future episode, but it's hard not to. You're like, ah, I want to do this. So, yeah. I mean... Yeah. I'm kind of okay with that, actually.

[00:46:48] But, if we're going by, say, Cheese and Die, you'd have to replace Spider, right? Like, or what if Spider took a picture of the kids kind of scenario? Were you talking Mr. Right from Shock Round Shock Street or Professor Shock? Professor Shock was horror named, right? In Shock Street, isn't his name Mr. Right? Pretty sure. I can't remember. Yeah.

[00:47:18] I might be getting names crossed. Pretty sure it's Mr. Right. Aaron's dad in Shock Street. But, um... Yeah, no, I like the idea of that. Why's my phone blowing up? What is happening here? It was Professor Shock... I think you could cross over, like, Horrorland and Shock on Shock Street. Professor Shock was the, um... He was in the... Give Yourself Goosebumps.

[00:47:49] Oh, that's right. The creepy creations of Professor Shock, the one with the robot on the cover. Mr. Right. Yeah. Shock on Shock Street, yeah. Oh my gosh. Professor Shock, Shock on Shock Street. Eh, whatever, you know. Eh, eh, eh. But, regardless... Whatever's time. Um... If you take one mad scientist from something and throw him in a different story, how does that affect the story? Mm-hmm.

[00:48:19] Like... You know, kind of like we did with Brewer going to Dark Falls scenario. Um... But who would be best suited to, say, the camera? Never found the whole... So that's why I was saying, like, the animatronics kind of part of it. Yeah. And that's why I thought maybe he crosses over and instead of Spider, it's him who has the camera. You know, and he comes when he's in that world, you know. Spider was like his partner making the camera.

[00:48:50] You know, they worked on it together. But Spider accidentally took a photo of himself. What if, like... Seriously died. Because he's an idiot. So what about, um... I don't know why, but I just thought of the haunted mosque. What if Kylie Beth never found the mask? What if she was like, just never found it? Well, that's a future episode. Yeah, that's future. That's future episode. We gotta stay focused on the five. I know. It's hard.

[00:49:19] It's hard, I'm telling you. No! Do it now! Do it now! Can't do it now! No! No, can't do it now! Put the first five books down. And do it book 11. Now! Give me book 11! Yeah, so I mean, like... I kind of feel like that would maybe work a little bit. Or, you know, just the reverse spider. I don't even want to do it because... I don't even remember that.

[00:49:49] Trying to make that, you know... Nah. I don't know. Like I said, you can cross over characters. You can cross over characters from future books to the current book. But we can't do a what if of, like, Haunted Mask inside Haunted Mask. It's got to be like, oh, what if Carly Beth showed up in Dark Falls instead? Right. Probably nothing. She'd be dead too. You know. Maybe she'd be dead. Because, you know, she doesn't have power. She's just a kid.

[00:50:19] And, you know, the power of, you know, love is not going to get you through to Dark Falls. So... Oh, gosh. Sorry, Carly Beth. I love you. But you're dead if you go to Dark Falls. Especially without the power of the Haunted Mask. So... She's dead. That will probably be that for that one. I don't know what else to do with Say Cheese and Die. Because... I mean, it works for werewolf skin.

[00:50:47] So maybe that crossover. I'm trying to find more. What if... No. I don't know. It doesn't work either. It's tough. Because you want to do something similar, but not at the same time. Mm-hmm. Because, I mean, Tony Stark, Iron Man being, you know, Black Panther, that's crazy. That would never freaking happen. It would never happen. But yeah, that's what you think about.

[00:51:16] Well, they did T'Challa as Star-Lord. I know. Which, that's weird, too, though. Yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, that's way outside the box. So... I'm trying to get there, but I feel like I'm pressing right up against the box instead. Mm-hmm. So... It's tough. That's a tough one. But like I said, like, it's a really interesting concept to try to do this because there are similarities. Because we all know Stine has a trope with certain things.

[00:51:45] And some things technically are repeated just in a different way in his books. And we've kind of shown that here in a sense. However, book number five. Curse of the Mummy's Tomb. This one... This one, I mean... What do you do with this one? So... It was not... It was... One that I saw was what if... Throw Brendan Fraser in there. Done.

[00:52:15] What if the Mummy is trying to escape because something else darker is in the tomb? That was kind of the only one that I was like, eh, that's kind of good. All the rest were more of like, what if... What if Brendan Fraser ended up in the book? What if... Yeah, I said what if Brendan Fraser was just like, eh, here I am. What if Gabe was actually Brendan Fraser? Okay. Yeah. Why not? If Rick O'Connell shows up. All right. Let's cross that over.

[00:52:43] Well, that Mummy is fucking dead if Rick O'Connell shows up. Okay? But if... And then... Oh, yeah. No, I'm going to bring Benny in or two. I'm going to bring Benny in. Oh, I'm going to have Benny in the chair. Come on, man. Can't have Benny without the chair. Man. So, for this one... I'm trying to think of... I got nothing on this one, dude. Was it? What if the chaser shows up?

[00:53:16] Yeah, I have no idea, like, what a good one for Cursed the Mummy's Tomb would be. I mean, if you say... Switch out... I don't know, because literally the title is Cursed the Mummy. Say if you switch out, like, and throw Slappy in the tomb. Like, if ancients, you like, sealed that evil spirit inside this... Oh, yeah.

[00:53:45] At the time, a different type of doll. But what if, instead, it was, like... You know, kind of like Disney Plus did in a way? Where they used, like, the soul of, like... Whoever that evil dude was. I don't know his name anymore. Biddle? No, not Biddle. The actual, like... Oh, oh, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The magician. The magician of Slappy. Yeah. Who's not named Slappy at all. And with somebody else.

[00:54:15] What'd you say? No, it was the World War II soldier. His volumes are low. Kandu, isn't it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wasn't it Kandu? I think so. His name was Kandu. That's right. I think so. Yeah, that sounds right. So, I mean, like... Kandu, yeah. And Kandu, to me, sounds Egyptian. So, just say, you know, if you want to go that route. What? Kandu. You could go in the route of saying, like, what if the Curse of the Mummy's Tomb was

[00:54:44] Slappy? You know? That's like a Slappy origin story. Like that it's his soul. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, Kandu, like, he's basically like the Emoteb. You know? He was the priest. You know? He was in the magic. Just start Emoteb and Rick O'Connell in there. And we'll have our what-if, okay? And they put that curse on him.

[00:55:06] And, you know, when he got released in the more present time, he went to, like, this guy's kid doll. This is the sequel to The Mummy. What if Benny actually escaped Hamonatra? And he ended up in the tomb. I bet you he did. He raised an army of mummies to get back at Rick.

[00:55:31] What if the mummy in the tomb was The Rock, Dwayne, The Rock Johnson? Or being a king. Hmm. We're just talking shit, guys. It's all good. We're, like, all serious for the first couple books, and now we're, like, just whatever. This one, it's just hard for this one. It's so hard. Well, see, now it's being silly, but it's fine. Because it's fun. It is fun.

[00:55:59] I really don't know. Like, if you guys have one for Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, comment it down below. And we'll revisit it in the next episode. Because, like, this one has me stumped. I have no idea what a good crossover story you're going to be. This is one I think would be interesting if you did use Slappy 4. Because it still could involve magic and, you know, curses and all that stuff. So there could be something there to that.

[00:56:27] Could there be any crossover between this? Do you have the curse? What about Be Careful What You Wish For? Curse. Any connection? I'm sorry. I was doing curse. You're good. Any connection between Curse of the Mummy's Tomb and Be Careful What You Wish For? Like, could you do something there with that? I don't know.

[00:56:58] I mean... I don't know. I mean, she could be the one literally, like... I don't know. There's avenues. If she made herself, like, an immortal priestess kind of deal, maybe. Yeah. Like, that she uses that, like... If she's, like, genie type thing.

[00:57:26] But, like, that's more Arabic rather than Egyptian. Yeah. Arabian art. Yeah. Uh, yeah. I don't know. Like... I don't know. I might have to sit on this one and revisit it at the start of the next one. Because I feel like there is something... But that's why I feel like, also, there's not a lot of mummy stories.

[00:57:54] Because I feel like a lot of them have been done to... Well, to pun intended, to death. You know? Even to the point of, like, even movies. Like, a lot of the movies are the same. They try... And every time they try something new, it's really not a good idea. It's usually bad. At this point, people just want to see Rick O'Connell slaying mummies, eh?

[00:58:18] Like, even if the new mummy movie isn't good, as long as we see some good fights with Rick O'Connell and the mummies, that's it. Well, I'm just... I mean, I'm even speaking about just the book. Because, like, who would you throw in... Who would you throw in, like, as, you know, the... Well, it would have to be the protagonist, right? The what-if. A lot of the what-if stories are never really focused on the antagonist. It's always about the protagonist.

[00:58:46] So, you'd have to take a protagonist from one of the other books. Out of the original 62. Who could potentially... I mean, it doesn't really have to fit. I mean, they did do the whole T'Challa Star-Lord scenario. I mean, you could really throw one out of left field and just change it up enough, I guess. How I got my shrunken head? Could you... I mean... I'm just, like, looking through the list of the 62. Could do something with how I got my shrunken head? Maybe. Maybe.

[00:59:16] I mean, you could use some magic from shrunken head. The thing is, a lot of the kids are just that. They're just kids. You have to use them. And really, all the kids, as far as I'm concerned, for the most part, are swappable. You're just changing the name of the child. The child could do the same thing in the book because it's just a name. But as far as the story goes, it's more interesting.

[00:59:45] Maybe that's what we focus on, even in the future ones. Maybe we need to look at, like, the antagonist instead. Kind of like we did earlier with Brewer going to Dark Falls. Mm-hmm. Or, you know... Yeah. You know, Lappy getting on some monster blood, you know, or something. I don't know. No, I will say... I'm looking through Marvel What If, just to confirm, like, how they did their structure. They did do a couple, like, antagonists switch to...

[01:00:14] Or protagonists switch to the antagonists. Like, what if Peter Quill attacked Earth's Maddiest Heroes? So, like, are there... Are there flips where you could have a protagonist become an antagonist? Like, I know that this is a future episode, but, like, what if Carly Beth, like, used the Haunted Mask? What if Chuck and Steve... Pick a battle later. I'll tell you. I know. I know.

[01:00:42] I'm just saying, like, those types of, like... I was going to say, what if Chuck and Steve weren't, like, weren't actually the bullies? What if Chuck and Steve weren't the bullies? Carly Beth was just the bully. I'm trying to say... I just still don't know, like... They were actually the... You know, like, flip it around. Flip it around. You know? Like, they... One of them gets the... Yeah, but they still... But they still put those... That could be interesting. Well, kinda. In the Peter Quill version, he does accept, like, his dad's... Power and... Right. ...mission and all that stuff.

[01:01:12] And it's kinda, like, brainwashed in a way. So he does become an antagonist. Doing the same thing. He's not really in somebody else's shoes. It's just a different choice. Right. So, you know, it could be a scenario. If you wanna look at the first five books... I mean, you could say... Even in the first one, like... What if the... You know, if you flip it... You know, what if the... Family...

[01:01:40] Next door, the Thurston's... You know... Were still human. And they were the protagonists. And... The people who... You know, showed up. Thurston's tried to warn them. But the family was like... Oh, no. We kinda dig this. You know? Oh, give me that power. You know? Or, like, what if Dark Falls... Was... Normal people... And the people that moved in... Were... Right. Exactly.

[01:02:10] Yeah. Even better. Yeah, even better. Flip the script a little bit, you know? Like, this... This family... Where the vampire comes in... And then... Starts turning the town. Yeah. Like, it's Salem's Lot. Stephen King. Where the vampire comes in... And then he starts turning... The town folk. Like... It's just so interesting... Because, like... The whole concept of what if... Is, like, there's so many different possibilities... Of things that can happen. And we've got 62 books... Of stories that can be intertwined.

[01:02:40] It's like... You've got infinite possibilities... With what you can do. So, it's like... These are just, like... Some of our ideas. I mean... And I really feel like... Nothing we said has really been wrong... Because there is no right. Right. In that sense. You could have unlimited possibilities... Of alternate universes... And alternate characters... Developing differently... And things like that. So... These are just our takes.

[01:03:10] And for, yeah... The fifth book... I mean... I didn't really care for that one. Most probably didn't. But... It was... It was okay. And it was enough to say... Let's, you know... Publish this. But let's... Let's look at it differently. And what can we throw in differently? For that one... I mean... I think... If we're gonna go that route... I mean... Mummy came back to life, right? So...

[01:03:39] It's kind of like... Think about what the movie... The Mummy did. Like, what if, you know... Brendan Fraser didn't stop the Mummy... Right. You know, in this scenario... Just think about like... What if the Mummy won? What does that look like? The Mummy actually succeeded. So... Yeah. I mean... It would be... Benny would be like... These are just our takes. And... I like the idea of crossover. Like... I really like the... And I hate to use it... But it's... I'm not clever very often, folks. So when I say plants versus zombies... I thought that was...

[01:04:09] That was a gem. No, that was great. That was great. That was a gem. So, yeah. I think the idea of... Brewer like... Coming into Dark Falls... And kind of experimenting on... The zombies in a way. And then trying to make like... Zombie plants or something. You know, that are just unkillable. Because obviously plants like sunlight. So if you could somehow combine them... And just make them unkillable. I mean, yeah. That would be pretty epic.

[01:04:39] What if they... But all... The problem is... Like all the... Zombies know what he's doing. And they're trying to stop him. And... So, I mean, yeah. I mean... I like that idea. So, I mean, like... For me... That's what we... I think... We'll go with going forward. We just... We just do what we want here. This is all what if, folks. All right. I think we did a series of this. Like an actual series. Where they just blended books one and two. We blend three and four. Five and six.

[01:05:09] Seven and eight. And then you have to come up with an idea of how these two... I think it would be interesting if... Books and books three and four would be... Most of blood. Say cheese and die. How do we... And this will be a future episode. And we'll... I'll keep it in my mind. I'll actually write it down even. Because I kind of like this. Books five and six would be... No, 10 and 11. How did... So the ghost next door... That's why it's the haunted mask.

[01:05:39] She's possessing the mask. And she wants a body. So when Carly Beth puts it on... She's starting to take over. That's good. Because now she has a body again. That's good. So yeah. I like these ideas. So we turn her from the protagonist to the antagonist... In the Carly Beth story. So... I'm just saying. We got some ideas, folks. So stay tuned. There's a lot of good stuff coming. The Goosebumps multiverse is massive.

[01:06:10] I'm telling you. And we... If this... If this is a series you guys like... That we continue with... And we get done with the 62... We'll go on. Goosebumps multiverse. We'll do the series 2000s... And everything else. I have no problem with that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean... It's fun, guys. They try to do that. Kind of. In the movies. But... Didn't quite stick as well as we'd all hoped. But... Mm-hmm. I still enjoyed them for what they were. But...

[01:06:40] I think that's it for us here. Unless... Unless these guys got a last minute idea on... You know... Chris and Mummy's tomb. I should know. Not right now. But definitely... That book is a flat one for me. But anything with mummies... I'm done. I'm just out of it. Like really... Definitely comics are alluring. Anything with mummies... Unless it's Brendan Fraser... When I think of the mummy... I think of Brendan Fraser. Yeah. I think of Brendan Fraser... I think of the mummy. Like that's... The mummy... I love the Boris Karloff one too. For all you people out there... Trying to hate...

[01:07:10] I love the Boris Karloff one too. But I'm just saying... What can you do with mummies... That hasn't been done? Right. Not much. Because they're literally... Zombies. They're mummies. All right? They're dead. Dead skeletons walking around. Not curly style either. Yeah. But they're fun skeletons. They're just band-aid skeletons. All right? Band-aid skeletons. But yeah. Comment down below... Like... That's it. What ideas you guys have... About like what...

Like what are your five what-ifs... For these. Comment down below. And we will take a look at them... In the next... Next episode of this series. So... This was fun. I think we'll... What we'll do is... Whichever ones get the most likes... We'll actually...

[01:08:08] You know... Say... Okay. This person posted this... About this one. You know... This one got the most likes. So... Another interaction for you guys. So... You know... If you like somebody's idea really well... Like it. And then we'll go by that. Who has the most likes on their posts... And we'll start talking about it... At the beginning of our next series... Of this. Yeah. So... This... Goosebumps... What if? Well... Yeah. I think that's it for us here... With the Goosebumps crew.
