Please Don't Feed the Vampire! (Give Yourself Goosebumps Book 15)

"

R.L. Stine, who is sort of like a Stephen King for kids.

Yeah, Goosebumps.

Yeah, and I think I actually worked on one of his little TV shows, The Nightmare Room.

Oh really?

Oh man, they were scary with the most ghastly illustrations you've ever seen. They're awesome.

And are those banned just because they're scary and ghoulish?

I guess so.

No, it's probably satanic too.

So there I was armed with my backpack full of goosebump books and a bag with my bowling ball, which my grandmother had insisted I bring since she was involved with multiple bowling leagues and headed on a connecting flight.

"

I went from sharing lip gloss with her to reading her name in a murder headline to think I thought the biggest crime she'd ever commit was stealing a Goosebumps book.

"

My research broke out of the basement. It's unstable and fragile. Is that a scream? Inspired by the bestselling books. What? Goosebumps. The Vanishing. Are you going to be okay out here. I'm not sure.

"

So that Tom is the opening of a novel called The Vampire published in 1819.

carried the attribution A Tale by Lord Byron so listeners can be reassured it's not one of your own early works though but it has a really interesting backstory, this book doesn't it because it's not by Lord Byron is that right?

"

R.L. Stine is the one who did Goosebumps, The Haunting Hour.

"

I liked some of the books but some of them I don't remember specifically but which ones but I read I remember reading one and getting to the end and be like, nope. Nope. No more goosebumps too much.

"

Did you read Goosebumps? Yeah. I was just a little too old for the books, R.L. Stine books.

"

I remember reading these Goosebumps books, it's like a horror book genre by R.L. Stine when I was a kid. I really thought this evil ventriloquist doll was gonna come and choke me out with his wooden hands. I believed that.

"

I read Goose's book. They call me Goose. I highly recommend that. I took it on vacation last summer, read it completely through there at the beach and the pool.

The book is very thorough in how it came to be. It covered the championship game details and gave great insight into the team.

"

We are going to be reading Goosebumps. Give Yourself Goosebumps.

It's called Please Don't Feed the Vampire.

We picked an especially scary one.

I think it's fake blood, you tell him.

The words on the packet are kind of scary, but you're dying to know what's inside.

"

So this one is called Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter.

This is our second Goosebumps. It always begins with the parents leaving you.

We've been waiting for you, Barney says.

We haven't cleaned it out since we moved in, Aunt Fiona tells you.

You can play anywhere you want, but don't go in the basement.

But it was goosebumps. The original goosebumps here. Wow. Mr. Stein. Mr. Stein. Mr. Arlstein.

I never got into the later, he continues to create a... The franchises keep bubbling out. But when I first got into them and I guess maybe it was like the fourth, fifth, sixth grade, I was always a super reader as a kid. I was an only child. We did a lot of road trips for my parents' work and stuff and I could read in the car.

So library books and books, they were always happy to whatever you need. But that was the first thing where I'm like, oh, this is number two. And you go into certain Walden books and they have like one, seven, 10 and 14. But it's like, oh, I've never seen six around.

The idea of ordering online and all that stuff didn't exist. So it was this excitement of like... A collection thing. A collection of like, I want them all. I wanna read them all. I wanna have a bookshelf that shows all the pretty colors of one through 40.

So that prime set of goosebumps was when I became in middle school and high school obsessive about my fandom. Just about, or just about... The completest thing is important here because it's just about filling a set or of just having a thorough breath of everything about this one thing.

"

into like books at that age it was into the goosebumps the anamorph.

It was goosebumps. The original goosebumps here. Wow.

Best book in the series for you.

Like back in the day I used to read Hell of Goosebumps. Have we talked about Goosebumps on the show? Like I used to fucking crush a Goosebumps book in a day or so. He's the best.

I think it- like I remember it was like what came from beneath the sink or something like that.

R.L. Stine, give him his flowers. He's probably- I haven't checked up on R.L. Stine. I've got a feeling maybe he's not a good person or something. I'm just guessing.

Finger blasting keeps popping up. R.L. Stine's Goosebumps- or is R.L. Stine the one who writes Goosebumps?

Hey, they did remake Goosebumps, right? With Jack Black. And Jillian. Wasn't Jillian in it? Jillian's in it too. I need to see it.

I'm sorry, Jillian. If you do indeed listen to our podcast, I would like to apologize right now that I haven't. And Jack Black. I'm sorry. I have not seen Goosebumps yet.

I don't remember anything.

They did a universe where he's in charge of all of the R.L. Stine characters. Yes. And Jack Black plays R.L. Stine and he has something in his desk that can open the portal and let all the monsters out into the town.

So all the classic characters are used in the flick. That's the whole move now.

I just love Goosebumps with a majority of my heart. I think it was a dope ass thing for me to do in fourth and fifth grade and I blazed through them.

I like that one. I like Camp. I like the scary camp one. You remember that one? Okay. Not real. I'm sure there is one.

I do actually remember the cover of the camp one. It was a camp counselor with a whistle and he's got a weird smile on his face. The covers were off the chain. The covers. I didn't read the fucking books.

What about fucking, do you remember this Say Cheese and Die? Absolutely. I remember that. Sure. I remember the cover. The camera.

Yeah, it was like the family at the barbecue and they're all skeletons and it's like a Polaroid.

It's got to be spooky. This is a business.

It's for kids, but it's fun. Fun movie.
