What books do you think Stine might have used as metaphors/analogies for other stuff? I've seen people say Let's Get Invisible is a metaphor for addiction: like drugs or something else. Like, the kids hide out in the attic, and keep this a secret from their parents and everybody else, and over time they start getting reckless and even going crazy as their addiction to the mirror/drugs gets worse. I like this analogy,it makes so much sense. But what others do you think could be interpreted as being about something other than it appeared on the surface? Personally, I think Werewolf Of Fever Swamp could be seen as a metaphor for homosexuality. Like, even though it wasn't stated in the book,I think Grady might be attracted to Will, but he either didn't realize it, or simply didn't understand his feelings, or know how to express it. But will also had feelings for Grady, and the Werewolf thing was just either their longing or finally coming out to each other, and the ending with Grady as a werewolf is him finally being content in realizing his sexuality. On a darker note, Calling All Creeps could be seen as, not only a metaphor for bullying and peer pressure, but as a metaphor for a school shooting. Like, this kid finds out about an evil plot that endangers everyone, but being the school outcast, nobody believes him, and in the end, the entire school is transformed/shot up. Why I'm Afraid Of Bees: body dysmorphia, perhaps? Like he hates the way he looks so much he imagines what it's like to be somebody/something else? On another dark note, Jekyll and Heidi is a good metaphor for depression: like, at the beginning of the book, Heidi doesn't even try hiding her depression over losing her parents, she keeps mentioning how sad she is. Then she meets her cousin who makes her feel even worse. Then we find out Mariana is "the beast". But perhaps the beast is simply a metaphor for depression itself: like Mariana had felt neglected by her father, who spent more time working than with her. Then in the end we find out Mariana had passed the curse onto Heidi, making her a "beast" too. But imo this could symbolize Heidi spiraling into full depression or even despair, possibly to the brink of self-harm or even suicide. Dark, but it works. What about you guys? What other books make excellent metaphors for real-life problems?
I made a tier ranking the original 62 books. This is just MY ranking from best to worst, I'm sure everybody has their OWN opinion. No hate though please, I put a lot of thought into this. I'm planning on making one for the Goosebumps 2000 series too, once I finish, so stay tuned!!
I remember Piano Lessons can be murder but it doesn't make seems if it called piano lessons can be Murder
Why doesn't have the soul sucking out of it like the episode and book feel more like ghost want to revenge by having Mr. Toggle soul suck by playing the piano
Like Hell teacher Nube episode 36: The Midnight Secret Lesson! The Dangerous Allurement of the Music Room!! show a girl Kyoko Inaba who dare Miki if she Play the piano she win and Miki lose so Kyoko ends up going to secret midnight lessons thinking it's a dream. Her weariness like her own life begins to show and it concerns Miki and Nube.
Like that is what Japanese anime version of Piano Lessons can be murder
What are your thoughts
Do you think Fergie was possibly written to be autistic? I mean, she gives some signs: like, she doesn't seem to remember saying "dogs" when she first met Cooper, and second she completely FREAKED OUT when Cooper grabbed her, a classical display of people on the spectrum not liking uninvited physical contact. Also, unlike Cooper, she seemed almost calm when the ghost dogs were dragging them through the forest. When Cooper said something about this being stupid, she said matter-of-factly " I don't think it's stupid Cooper. " And, to top it all off, as Cooper himself noted, she apologizes a lot, almost unnecessarily. I'm just saying, is it possible Stine wrote Fergie to be autistic, or at least somewhere on the spectrum?

Did this book make anybody else seriously ugly cry? I mean, poor Heidi loses both parents, is sent to live in a strange town with her weird uncle,her cousin treats her coldly, and Heidi thinks she hates her. She knows Jekyll and her cousin are hiding something from her, gaslighting her. Then the townspeople burn down her new home, her uncle and cousin run off, leaving her alone,then, to top it all off, she finds out her cousin bit her, turning HER into a monster too. Poor Heidi needed a hug so bad!!! 😭
So I found this DVD on EBAY for a ton of money. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/185763434541?epid=1000809537 And I wonder is it real, because the cover is well made but I can't search for it anywhere.
I really wish both episodes were in the same season (first season) and all actors from "Say Cheese and Die" reprised their roles in "Say Cheese and Die – Again!. It would have been so great.

I drew some pictures about Goosebumps.
Slappy, Lindy, Kris, Carly Beth, The Haunted Mask.
Which Goosebumps book is the most boring?
I think it's "Legend of the Lost Legend". The whole story is uninteresting and incomprehensible.
"You Can't Scare Me" is like a typical campus comedy story, but not like the "Goosebumps" series.
New to the forum. Does anyone know a moderator who I can talk to about adding some information to the "Ultimate Goosebumps" section of the television series page? It's grossly underdeveloped everywhere online and I've been gathering research on it with sources.
Why do a lot of people hate this book and call it “the worst”? I mean, its not that bad and the book doesn’t make me mad.
This was my favorite goosebumps book, I don’t understand why people hate it so much. 😢
What is the first book in the Castillian Spanish releases of goosebumps?
