“I didn’t want to tell her i was going to the orthodontist that would be too geeky so instead I told her I was going to the comic book store🤓” -Bradley “skipper”
My wife and I do audiobooks for a living, and have to say that this is absolute fantastic. I love the music and all the sound effects. They add such an awesome and fitting amount of ambiance.
Attack of the Mutant is my favourite Goosebumps story. I found it in perfect condition at a second hand shop the other day and bought it. I thought Attack of the Mutant was a good story with a interesting premise. I own book which is very similar to Attack of the Mutant which is called StarTroopers: The Final Episode by Ged Maybury which was about a boy whom discovers that his favourite science fiction franchise about heroic intergalactic warriors battling evil aliens are not fictional and are real and joins the heroes of his favourite franchise as they set out to save Earth.
I haven't heard this in more than 20 years. I had this one on tape, along with Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes. I really wanted to collect all of the ones that were done this way, but by the time I learned about them, they were getting really hard to find.
I like how this story pokes fun at the idea of keeping a first issue mint, which was a big thing in the 90s, when people thought EVERY first issue or "zeroeth" issue would be worth THOUSANDS each in just a couple decades. The industry tried to work with the big spectator boom by coming out with frequent "first issues", some having holographic covers or trading cards inside to increase the value. Comics were selling BIG, the biggest sales of any decade, but the WRITING was at its lowest. Comics were being made to be collectors items rather than books to be OPENED and READ. And that's why comic fans consider the 90s as "The Dark Age of Comics".
Every road trip my dad and I would take we'd listen to this, a night in terror tower, and all the rest of the ones that we had. This one is my #1 favorite even today, nothing like listening to Invader Zim talk to Bart Simpson 😆 🤣 😂 😆🤣😂
Is Mitzy.....Coco Bandicoot?!? And Skipper sounds like Billy West.... Edit: Wait....that's Zim's evil laugh....holy fuck. That's, that's..... It can't be! But it is!!! Richard Horvitz!!!!
If they make a 3rd *Goosebumps* movie, I want the Masked Mutant to be the main villain, except we find out near the end of the movie, he's actually working for Slappy as his lieutenant and field leader. But I don't want the Masked Mutant's costume to look like from the TV series, because it looks like a cheesy ripoff from a 1960s superhero show, like the Adam West *Batman* show.
At 35:21, “The next drawing showed the building at street level. In the deep shadows, someone was sneaking into the headquarters building. I turned the page… (Brief pause, then…) …I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!!!!” (SCARY MUSIC BUILDS AND SUSTAINS) “TURN THE TAPE OVER, UNLESS… YOU’VE GOT… …GOOSEBUMPS.” (EVIL LAUGH)
this is way better than the tv show version. you know what they often say, the book was better than the show or movie. I actually kinda would have liked to see skipper's little sister. also libby wasn't much of a red-head and I'm disappointed she didn't get a bigger part like she did in the book
I agree. The TV show version of the Masked Mutant was too much of a pantomime villain with cartoonish vibes of a Disney villain. And don't even get me started on how HORRIBLY cheesy his costume was.
If there was a paragraph written where Skipper says "Sheesh" towards his father in regards to comics and homework, I bet his father would be SO angry with Skipper, he'd explode and say "DON'T YOU 'SHEESH' ME, YOUNG MAN!!" and his face would be as purple as a radish from being so angry.
I remember very clearly, when I was seven years old, I had this tape, and it was my favorite! Absolutely loved it! Well, I put it in my dad‘s old tape deck to listen to it at night one night because I was asleep in his room while he was at work. It ate my tape. I was very upset! Very upset!
This audiobook was good, but the Deep Trouble audiobook was good too, and it had great voiceover by the late Adam Rich as Billy Deep. It’s also the only adaptation there is of the book since the Goosebumps episode actually adapts the second book.
Skipper is Raz from Psychonauts and Zim from Invader Zim. Libby is Chuckie from Rugrats and Bart from the Simpsons. Wilson is Rock Lee from Naruto. I just went down the same IMDB rabbit hole. Lol

I want to know how to get a hold of the music used in this. I know it sounds weird, but I love that basement music. The baseline. So ominous and bad ass.
There’s something oddly horrifying about that ending stinger. Kid just wanted to save his favorite hero and ended up being forced to live the life of one in the process.
@@tmntfangirl4700 and while it has been pointed out, you also have Skip being played by Rich Horvitz who has done tons of characters like Zim. What a strangely star studded VA cast lol Goosebumps was unstoppable in the 90s
Now I saw why R.L Stine made Attack of the Mutant more kid friendly and not scary as an episode. The original book was more darker. Well shit,that explains a lot. Lots of people think the tv episode is one of the worst. They don't literally know or read the actual story/book. The voice of the girl is irritating in my opinion though.
Okay but what if the MM actually leads a double life as a little girl and unironically collects Highschool Hairy & Bean comics? Is he secretly the biggest nerd of them all?
Hey that's David Horowitz as skipper! He was Daggett in angry beavers and invader zim a few years after this series. And is currently voicing moxxie on vivziepop's helluva boss series.
You mean he was Daggett in *The Angry Beavers* Norbert was voiced by Nick Bakay, who voiced Salem Saberhagen in *Sabrina the Teenage Witch* Horvitz also voiced Alpha 5 in *Power Rangers* and Aviarius in *Kim Possible*
@@kryptonianpowersahhh uesh my bad I was so excited I got my angry beavers names mixed up. Also reading this story all these years later? I wonder if rl stine predicted the backrooms
Considered one of the lowest of Goosebumps stories, but coming from someone autistic, I feel the main character could be a relevance to Asperger's at the time. So I can understand his own little world as myself as that age, who loved and live life as a cartoon character.
Can someone please say slappppppppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;!!!!!!!!!!!;;!;;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is awesome! I had this on cassette when I was a kid. I'm about to listen to a bunch of these at work. Lol
You know it's good when Zim is narrating it!

Every time I hear Richard’s voice I kept thinking about Moxxie from Helluva Boss
I hear Raz
My wife and I do audiobooks for a living, and have to say that this is absolute fantastic. I love the music and all the sound effects. They add such an awesome and fitting amount of ambiance.
It’s like listening to a radio play. Love it!!!!

I used to love reading these and listening to some of these as a kid. Brings back so many memories

I miss the show that's my favorite childhood now I'm 18 I still love goosebumps
I'm 40...a true Goosebumps OG. Lol. (Sorry, I know this comment is a year old; you're probably 19 by now🤦♀️).
@@KimDrewTheLineI'm 35. You and me were the right age when the show was on TV
30 here had haunted Mask on vhs
Attack of the Mutant is my most favorite Goosebumps book EVER!
Agreed. It's in my top 5-10 for sure. Unfortunately, the t.v. episode wasn't very good. Some were.
@@grantwileyesq.5962 I agree
I remember reading this back in middle school so cool
Yeah!
Every road trip my dad and I would take we'd listen to this, a night in terror tower, and all the rest of the ones that we had. This one is my #1 favorite even today, nothing like listening to Invader Zim talk to Bart Simpson 😆 🤣 😂 😆🤣😂
Richard Horvitz and Townsend Coleman are at their best
For those who are unaware, Libby is voiced by Nancy Cartwright aka the voice of Bart Simpson
Listening to this for the first time in probably 15 years. It all use to seem so scary...now it's just funny!
Can you believe this is Nancy Cartwright and Richard Horvits! Ah! 😍😍😍
Is Mitzy.....Coco Bandicoot?!? And Skipper sounds like Billy West....
Edit: Wait....that's Zim's evil laugh....holy fuck. That's, that's.....
It can't be! But it is!!!
Richard Horvitz!!!!
Libby was voiced by Bart simpson
If they make a 3rd *Goosebumps* movie, I want the Masked Mutant to be the main villain, except we find out near the end of the movie, he's actually working for Slappy as his lieutenant and field leader.

I hope they make a third one too! 🎃
Yeah but if they ever do a film adaptation on attack of the mutant James Gunn should totally direct it
I agree! Since the R.L Stine character is now trapped in the book,I think the Masked Mutant should be in the third movie alongside Slappy.
At 35:21,
“The next drawing showed the building at street level.
In the deep shadows, someone was
sneaking into the headquarters building.
I turned the page…
(Brief pause, then…)
…I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!!!!”
(SCARY MUSIC BUILDS AND SUSTAINS)
“TURN THE TAPE OVER,
UNLESS… YOU’VE GOT…
…GOOSEBUMPS.”
(EVIL LAUGH)
AYY, It's Richard Horwitz and Nancy Cartwright!
They did a really great job with the Mutant’s voice. And that laugh! So fucking evil and creepy.
That's Townsend Coleman, btw. As in Michelangelo from the original Ninja Turtles and The Tick cartoon's titular hero.
The first series I would read from cover to cover!!
It's Jimmy Osgood (Richard Horvitz) the kid who blasted up his school in Satic Shock I loved this guys work Zim, Billy, Dagget, and Kanchome.
I knew I recognized that voice!
And Alpha 5 from *Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers*
this is way better than the tv show version. you know what they often say, the book was better than the show or movie. I actually kinda would have liked to see skipper's little sister. also libby wasn't much of a red-head and I'm disappointed she didn't get a bigger part like she did in the book
Same here! 🎃
Yeah they made it too kid friendly in the tv show.
I agree. The TV show version of the Masked Mutant was too much of a pantomime villain with cartoonish vibes of a Disney villain. And don't even get me started on how HORRIBLY cheesy his costume was.
Even with the different voice I still imagine Adam West as the Galloping Gazelle
If there was a paragraph written where Skipper says "Sheesh" towards his father in regards to comics and homework, I bet his father would be SO angry with Skipper, he'd explode and say "DON'T YOU 'SHEESH' ME, YOUNG MAN!!" and his face would be as purple as a radish from being so angry.
Ah these classics

Same here.
I love this book
l loved it so much thank you
Still have this book in my collection
IT IS I ZIM!
The best goosebumps book ever
yep
Just waiting on Gisele to say "it's Quarktastic"😂😂
Creepy yet cool!
yep

The galloping gazelle sounds like timmy turners dad.
Elastiboy is invader zim
I love invader zim
Hey guys, is it just my imagination, or is this narrator Richard Horvitz? The guy who voices Dagget Beaver and Zim.
I just looked it up, Richard Horvitz and Nancy Cartwright are both in this! So Zim and Girl Bart are investigating a comicbook mstery!
And if I'm correct, I think the guy who voiced the Masked Mutant is also the guy who voices The Tick (cartoon version).
@@cupidreindeer5601 That's amazing! How weird for them all to wind up in a Goosebumps story.
@@cupidreindeer5601 Yep. That's Townsend Coleman. Same voice actor as Michelangelo in the original TMNT cartoon
Where’d you look it up? I can’t find anything on this
Pretty sure this voice actor is Raz from Psychonauts.
Edit - It is.
Good ear dude 🙏
Skipper is Raz from Psychonauts and Zim from Invader Zim. Libby is Chuckie from Rugrats and Bart from the Simpsons. Wilson is Rock Lee from Naruto. I just went down the same IMDB rabbit hole. Lol
@@david_x_divad I'm pretty sure the Masked Mutant is Townsend Coleman aka The Tick!
@@Reapermaskhybrid And the voice of Michelangelo in the '80s *Ninja Turtles*

But the audiobook's voice was so annoying.
At long last.

how has no one mentioned that libby is literally bart simpson.
No, just like no one’s mentioned the the Masked Mutant is Townsend Coleman (AKA Michelangelo)

Adam West was the Gazelle in the tv episode,by the way.
Anyone else play this game on PC as a kid? It was one of my favorite games
I wonder where the Spawn and Captain America reference is at?
These voices sound so familiar
I hate the night of the living mummy it’s super scary 🎃🎃
Same 🐺
@@thewildwolf1987 yeah
It's Night of the living dummy. Not the Night of the living mummy.
I love this book 🎉❤

Okay but what if the MM actually leads a double life as a little girl and unironically collects Highschool Hairy & Bean comics? Is he secretly the biggest nerd of them all?

who made this I mean the work that went into this the sound effects and the fantastic voice work!!
I think it was Disney.

Back to when people were friendlier hehe. I mean, who would go touring an invisible bldg with a stranger.
That's Moos & Mindy from Revenge of the lawn Knomes

But, but Skipper's not ELASTIC BOY.
He's MUUUUUSCULAR BEAVER *WHOOSH!*
I am Zim!!! And I shall triumph over thee in the same way a giant slorthy passes her young: jiggly…and full of juice!
An orthodontist appointment is geekier than collecting comics?
Right...
Is that Richard Horvitz?
Yep it is.
7:09 This is my favorite part.
INVADER ZIM voices Skipper!!!
And Michelangelo voices the Masked Mutant
Hey that's David Horowitz as skipper! He was Daggett in angry beavers and invader zim a few years after this series. And is currently voicing moxxie on vivziepop's helluva boss series.
