I LIVE IN YOUR BASEMENT
Goosebumps #61: I Live In Your Basement © 1997 by Parachute Press. Cover Art by Tim Jacobus. Spoiler-Free Review RL Stine wrote I Live in Your Basement while in his David Lynch era. That’s my theory at least. I mean it with both the pros and the cons that come...
FEATURED POST:
I LIVE IN YOUR BASEMENT
Goosebumps #61: I Live In Your Basement was a trippy. If you have ever wondered: what if David Lynch wrote a Goosebumps book (he would never), then it might read something like this. It was a bit rough in spots, and I wasn’t sold on the ending, but I still enjoyed it overall.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER
Lois Duncan's I Know What You Did Last Summer is a much better book than the movie that it inspired. It holds up really well, even as we approach 50 years since its publication.
I’LL NEVER BE READY
A week after Coeus died, I poured my raw grief into this essay and put it aside. This past weekend we spread Coy's ashes in Oneonta, and so it feels appropriate now to dust it off and share it.
THE CUCKOO CLOCK OF DOOM
Goosebumps #28: The Cuckoo Clock of Doom is one of the sillier Goosebumps books with an incredibly dark ending. I had some real issues with its time travel mechanics, but I found myself having fun in spite of them.
THE SECRET BEDROOM
Fear Street #13: The Secret Bedroom is a creepy slow burn of a book, which is exactly my sort of thing. There were a few glaring plot holes that I found mostly forgivable, but it made up for that with some good scares and a foreboding atmosphere.
FEAR STREET: 1666
The final installment of the trilogy is here, and it's the conclusion to the story that we needed. Click through here to find my review on the Geeks OUT Blog.
FEAR STREET INTERVIEW
I got to interview Leigh Janiak and Phil Graziadei, the director and one of the writers of the new Fear Street trilogy, on behalf of Geeks OUT!
THE DEAD LIFEGUARD
Fear Street Super Chiller #6: The Dead Lifeguard comes close but doesn't quite succeed in standing out from the pack. It was a great setup, but the ending didn't hold up well to scrutiny.
FEAR STREET: 1978
My review for Fear Street: 1978 is up! It was tighter and more focused than the first movie. It expands the story and delivers plenty of blood and camp. I'm really liking this trilogy. Click through here to find my review on the Geeks OUT Blog.
LIGHTS OUT
Fear Street #12: Lights Out gave us the setting for the Fear Street: 1978 movie, but thankfully little else. Suffice to say it was not my favorite book in the series.
FEAR STREET: 1994
I got to watch an early screener of Fear Street: 1994. I really like what they did with it, and can't wait for the rest. Click through here to find my review on the Geeks OUT Blog.
BROOKLYN PRIDE COMIC BOOK FAIR 2021
I tabled at my first comic show in almost two years, and it was exactly the experience I'd hoped it would be.
A NIGHT IN TERROR TOWER
Goosebumps #27: A Night in Terror Tower was the first Goosebumps book I ever read, and it has remained one of my favorites ever since. Technically, it is responsible for this blog. I'm happy to say that it largely holds up and holds its own as one of the stronger books in the series.
