Looking Back On..

Goosebumps was huge in the 90s and they tried doing a movie for many years but for many reasons they couldn’t get one and eventually the franchise died for many years.

Music Match Halloween Music Videos Vol. 2

10/29/201810/29/2018 Luigi Kawasaki

Music Match

For Halloween we need more music videos and while I sometimes choose spooky music videos or the closest I can get to be in the spirit of Halloween, this time I decided to choose a little more parody since it’s specifically monster themed to change things up a bit and be a better fit for Halloween.

Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! ft. Jack Black (Goosebumps Music Video)

With Jack Black of Tenacious D who also plays R.L. Stine in the goosebumps movies we have this song that is somehow something that might even be too cheesy for the 90s but that’s exactly what they were aiming for. The song lyrics tries to shill the movie as well as name drop as many book titles as it can in 3 minutes in this rap song. THe music video is some awesome low budget scene in a library with cheap costumes and Slappy (who also sings) mixed with a few scenes from the movie here and there. The whole package somehow sells this god awful song and video.

Goosebumps VS Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Which was the better horror show?

10/28/201802/05/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Looking back on..

Two scary / horror themed anthology shows aimed at kids from the 90s so these two franchises are always pitted against each other even if they’re quite different. Today I’ll settle this easy question once and for all and see if Are You Afraid of the Dark or Goosebumps was the better TV show. The coincidences don’t end there as both were also produced in canada and even had similar episode count so it’s no random event that people always put them against each other. I won’t take a look at the franchise as a hole but only take a look at the actual shows and measure the different strengths and weaknesses of each show.

Are You Afraid of the Dark has a rather creepy opening with a scary theme to go with it and it’s absolutely fantastic while the intro for Goosebumps is cheesy as hell but it doesn’t matter as it’s still awesome and the music is super iconic that you’ll always hear it in horrible Goosebumps youtube videos. As far as the format of the shows they’re both anthology series but Goosebumps features more two part episodes as well as sequel episodes while AYOTD is mostly standalone episodes but they have the whole midnight society where the kids gather to tell scary stories which definitely added to the experience and sadly Goosebumps couldn’t do something like it, maybe having Curly the Skeleton in a Cryptkeeper role? The both shows have iconic opening themes and intros but AYOTD is just simply better and the format of the show also makes AYOTD more memorable in general.
