User blog comment:StacyFan/Goosebumps Rewrite (sort of): Calling All Creeps/@comment-30810278-20190803030539

It really shows how the cycle repeats. The Creeps were bullied and then became the bullies, and the main kid they bullied, Ricky, later became a bully as well. That’s also a good point that Ricky telling them not to eat the cookies would be a pretty big indicator. Maybe they told him they’d be his slaves because they knew he’d join their side after learning that.
