House of No Return is by far the creepiest concept. The "hero" committing a pretty heinous crime in order to survive is borderline Tales From the Crypt.
If you like that, you should look up a series called Masters of Horror. The episode called The Fair Haired Child is my favorite episode and has a similar but slightly different twist.
in even more tales to give you goosebumps where the haunted house game episode originated it was revealled that the kids died in 1942 and stuck in a permanent loop
I remember the book the Dead House episode was based on very fondly for a very silly reason: Kid me made a really bad tracing of the cover, but replaced the figure in the window with a gingerbread man just to make a "Welcome to Bread House" pun. I remember young me feeling very clever and laughing way too much at my own dumb joke.
Honestly, I'm glad these Danger Incorporated kids got what they deserved! Plus, the ghosts need a happy family and Robbie, Lori, and Nathan are the perfect children for them.
@@kingnusmi I swear, I remember the episode being different, like that the ghosts are actually living normal people who are inventors and bought the house to make it a scary fun house and that the kid was a ghost the whole time.
I think the old ladies dressed as little girls are a reference to the movie Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. The woman in that movie wears very similar makeup to re-live her days as a Shirley Temple-esque child star. Maybe the women were actresses?
The strange thing is that I felt rather sorry for the dead people in the town. It broke my heart in the end, when they are left behind, begging their victims to come back and help them. It was just so sad.
I'm so happy that you did the house of no return and the haunted house game. They are my childhood episodes. I had those two on DVD and watched them all the time.
I love your videos so much Kingnusmi, you put so much effort into these videos and they're always amazing. I’m also glad you are gonna be talking about “The Haunted House Game and The House Of No Return.” I remember loving those episodes so much as a kid.
You're right about "The House of No Return" being forgettable, because when I saw the title, I thought it will be that episode where there is a ghost of a headless kid, the ghost of the boy who loved ice cream and fell down the kitchen elevator shaft and the gohst of the captain who was painting his victims as they slowly were disappearing.
Even tho it was meant for kids, Goosebumps had some creepy ass moments and some scenes terrified me as a kid and gave me nightmares. Like I'm not cappin, Welcome To Dead House actually scared the tf out of me when I was like 12 and unlocked a fear of closets. Goosebumps basically covers everything from ghosts to zombies and haunted houses and werewolves and other freaky stuff and is also a good pathway into actual horror. Like I'm not kidding, recently I binged the entire series just to get ready for big kid stuff like The Conjuring and Hereditary. And I'm 20. 💀💀
@@kingnusmi Pretty much. In fact, I think it was this Goosebumps episode that eventually got me into the horror genre as an adult, with the Paranormal Activity franchise being one of my favorite horror series
This is an unexpected triple feature. And clever theming here considering 3 of these episodes involved scary houses. Out of all of these,I like Dead House the best. A really good plot for a story here. Would definitely make a interesting and scary movie to watch. A good amount of the changes in this are good. Especially the ending here. The House of No Return is a good episode. That group got what they deserve. That's Karma for them. The Haunted House Game is a alright story. Interesting theories now that I see you recap this one. You think if there was a sequel to this story, some pair of kids would probably free those kids? Anyways fantastic job covering these "Dead" Scary Houses. Keep up the great work and take care!
Dead house is definitely the most thought out of the three houses! It was when Stine was still getting used to kids horror so it might’ve been just a bit too scary but that just makes it better! I think house of no return is awesome! Definitely the best twist of the 3! And the haunted house game was just tons of fun! It’s an episode that’s easy and enjoyable you don’t REALLY have to pay attention to follow what’s going on
Bro, I watched Dead House when I was a kid staying at my Grandma's House, but I picked it up right in the middle and never finished it. I never knew the name of the episode and I stopped watching right after the twist. It haunted me for YEARS, until today. Thank you Kingnusumi for unlocking that core memory and helping me finish that brain puzzle!
I had a Goosebumps DVD growing up with The House of No Return and The Haunted House Game on them, both genuinely really good, Haunted House Game is such a cool concept, and House of No Return is like a PG episode of Tales from The Crypt to me.
I was sad there was no video Sunday! I always look forward to them, I even made a twitter just to see if you posted anything about it but I got home after work and class today and am so happy. Thank you for your time and effort. It is appreciated greatly
I like how even though Rotten School isn't a horror series, that its title is something you'd think is a horror series. That was clever, RL, that was a good trick.
i love watching your videos sm these genuinely make my day whenever they come out 😭 it would be really cool to see you talk about the show ‘two sentence horror stories’ ‘if you’ve ever heard of it. it was kinda bad but there were some episodes that were good that i’d recommend watching!
43:42 1/6 chance to be specific. Also, I loved this video, you actually covered the 2 main ones I wanted you to do in the series, Welcome The Dead House, and The Haunted House Game
Love how you’re categorizing themes of episodes. Would love to see you cover the episodes that primarily take place during the holiday season of Halloween. Strangely enough, there isn’t too many stories directly related to the Halloween season.
The House of No Return is the only episode of Goosebumps that ever scared me. Slappy? I was fine. The Haunted Mask? Could sleep fine. The Creeps? Laughed my ass off. But the ghosts walking down the stairs? Scared me so bad, I cried. It was so bad that I'm 23 years old now and still REFUSE to rewatch that episode. Even you talking about it freaked me out.
I recently re-read Welcome to Dead House and I was surprised how well it holds up. It was the first story I read as a kid and absolutely loved it. I never actually watched the episode though
The House of No Return and The Haunted House Game are in my top 5 Goosebumps episodes of all time, so I was anxiously waiting for you to cover these episodes 😂 Also while the Welcome to Dead House book was awesome, the episode didn't really impress me, even as a kid. I guess I just wasn't scared by the villains even though I was all for the creepy scenes actually in the house.
Well, as soon as I saw this reference or recap video and you said "Roll, a seven, go to heaven", I just KNEW that "heaven" meant a good thing and not literal Heaven, because "heaven" is usually a figure of speech meaning a good thing as reference to that when you die, Heaven is a beautiful place and nothing wrong can happen in it, that nothing can go wrong there. That's why 'heaven' is a metaphore, like "I think I've died and gone to Heaven".
- Welcome to the Dead House to this day scares me because it feels the most realistic, lol - I love The House of No Return and it's not forgettable to me; An old friend and I would laugh about the FOREVER part at the end all the time - The Haunted House Game is a good one :)
@@kingnusmi thanks for the great videos you make on my favorite childhood shows! These shows stoked my love of horror, and your videos are a lovely way to revisit them
@@kingnusmithats my little sister and you made her whole night by responding! I recently stumbled upon your account and loved your content, super nostalgic. Keep up the good shit dude!!
Speaking of episodes based on the short stories, you should talk about Perfect School. It's one of the scariest episodes in my opinion. I know you mentioned it in the beginning of this one and I'd love to hear your thoughts since it's my favorite :)
I mostly remember that in the books the stories are first-person narrated, just like RL's only non-horror series Rotten School (even though with a title like Rotten School, you'd expect it to be a horrible school or expect the series to be a horror story), and I also remember exactly what the writing font looks like; I just don't remember the font or type face of the chapter or if the chapters even have names. And I also don't remember if it's the "numeric value" like 1, 2, or 7, and 8, or if it's "one", "two", or "seven", or "eight".
They tried to make us afraid of houses cuz they knew we'd never afford to buy our own house 😅
It worked
I used to be scared of the ghosts but now I’m scared of the prices 🫠
that was a good one made me a good ol chuckle lol
Being a kid means being afraid of fiction, while being an adult means finding out that real life is scarier.
100% effective
House of No Return is by far the creepiest concept.
The "hero" committing a pretty heinous crime in order to survive is borderline Tales From the Crypt.
If you like that, you should look up a series called Masters of Horror. The episode called The Fair Haired Child is my favorite episode and has a similar but slightly different twist.
FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT THE HAUNTED HOUSE GAME
@@Ernlews ITS GOATED
The best!
I like the short story better.
Super underrated most people forget that it even exists
This episode always felt like a fever dream
in even more tales to give you goosebumps where the haunted house game episode originated it was revealled that the kids died in 1942 and stuck in a permanent loop
It’s giving AHS Murder House vibes
I remember the book the Dead House episode was based on very fondly for a very silly reason: Kid me made a really bad tracing of the cover, but replaced the figure in the window with a gingerbread man just to make a "Welcome to Bread House" pun. I remember young me feeling very clever and laughing way too much at my own dumb joke.
That's actually a great bit
26:29 Just noticed this: What a great little foreshadow of how Chris would manage get out of the house!
Right! It’s very easy to miss!
Honestly, I'm glad these Danger Incorporated kids got what they deserved! Plus, the ghosts need a happy family and Robbie, Lori, and Nathan are the perfect children for them.
Agreed man I’m happy the ghost couple can live happily FOREVERRRR
Right like you FORCED me to go into the house like go somewhere with that 😭
@@kingnusmi FOREEEEEEEEEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
@@kingnusmi I swear, I remember the episode being different, like that the ghosts are actually living normal people who are inventors and bought the house to make it a scary fun house and that the kid was a ghost the whole time.
A 46 MIN KINGNUSMI VIDEO?! UR GIVING US SM TODAY
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
@@kingnusmiI LOVE IT SO FAR!
"How did this house pass inspection?" Oh, don't worry, it flew through the inspooktion just fine 🤭
I think the old ladies dressed as little girls are a reference to the movie Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. The woman in that movie wears very similar makeup to re-live her days as a Shirley Temple-esque child star. Maybe the women were actresses?
Oh cool! I’ve never heard of that movie so it’s completely possible that it’s a reference
1000% have also noticed this!! definitely an inspiration 🫡
@kingnusmi man how old are you? Go watch that movie
Dude, "Welcome To Dead House" actually scared me as a kid! Those zombies were creepy af and then the dog turned white... holy shit!
It gave me nightmares for a while 😅
The strange thing is that I felt rather sorry for the dead people in the town. It broke my heart in the end, when they are left behind, begging their victims to come back and help them. It was just so sad.
My favorite Goosebumps book and episode were The Ghost Next Door. That was my first real intro regarding mind-blowing plot twists. 😂😂😂
The haunted house game was one of my favorite episodes! The villains were actually pretty goofy :)))
The haunted house game is probably one of the most fun episodes of goosebumps
I love how you subvert our expectations by explaining things like usual, but then telling us you were wrong by introducing new information.
I'm so happy that you did the house of no return and the haunted house game. They are my childhood episodes. I had those two on DVD and watched them all the time.
YO! I used to have them on DVD too!!! Never found out what had happened to it though
I love your videos so much Kingnusmi, you put so much effort into these videos and they're always amazing. I’m also glad you are gonna be talking about “The Haunted House Game and The House Of No Return.” I remember loving those episodes so much as a kid.
Thank you so much! It’s tragic that no one talks about those episodes because they’re lowkey good
@@kingnusmi You're welcome. It’s sad that nobody talks about the episode, it’s a really cool idea for a Goosebumps episode. Have a great day
I loved them too!!

I thought the exact same thing. That episode is The Headless Ghost
Even tho it was meant for kids, Goosebumps had some creepy ass moments and some scenes terrified me as a kid and gave me nightmares.

You're still a kid at 20. I got into really horrible and gory stuff at around 25
YESSSSSSSS FINALLY A VIDEO ABOUT WELCOME TO DEAD HOUSE YIPEEEE
YIPPEE YIPPEEE
@@kingnusmi😂😂😂😂😂
"Yipee" bruh 💀💀🤣
Chris from The House of No Return must be the coolest guy on Goosebumps. XD
RIGHT!
Spooky season must always include content about a haunt house at least once lol
It’s almost REQUIRED

All the house episodes (I think) in one video, perfect. :D
I hope I didn’t leave one out 😅😅
@@kingnusmi Well, unless you count a scary basement (Stay out of the basement) as a "scary house," I don't think you did
Your videos are always a comfort to me king you truly spare no effort on your videos, and it shows keep being amazing
I’m actually so happy you did the haunted house game cause that was and still is my favorite episode😭😭😭🙏

OMGG I REMEMBER THESE EPISODES BUT I FORGOT THE NAMESS IM SO HAPPY YOURE TALKING ABOUT THEM
30:34 that ‘yippee!’ Healed my soul omg😭

@kingnusmi ayeeee I was early enough to get a reply!!! 😱😱😱 Welcome to the Dead House is the OG but the board game holds a special place in my heart
Welcome to dead house is one of my favorite goosebumps episodes
I love both of these episodes, because there both fun, and dark..

This was the only episode to actually creeped me out as a kid I forgot it was even a goosebumps episode because it just had a different feel
Fire video I love the goosebumps videos you make hopefully you make more have a good day or night I should say
Thank you so much man! Imma keep doing them until I run out! Have a good night dude!

Thank you King for another video to entertain us all 🙏
Great video! I feel like you could sort "headless ghost" into this category
I wanna put that one in “the ghosts of goosebumps”
@kingnusmi would probably fit better there lol. Love that episode
Welcome to dead house is still the one episode that unnerves me. Its just that good.
loveee the long videosss
Hell yeah I forgot about the haunted house game I love this episode also thanks for making the video longer keep making great content
Thank god you uploaded
Ty now I have something to listen to while working ❤
Welcome to Dead House is my favorite book and episode its such a banger
The last Goosebumps episode shown in this video really took inspiration from Jumanji
The House of No Return is the only episode of Goosebumps that ever scared me. Slappy? I was fine. The Haunted Mask? Could sleep fine. The Creeps? Laughed my ass off. But the ghosts walking down the stairs? Scared me so bad, I cried. It was so bad that I'm 23 years old now and still REFUSE to rewatch that episode. Even you talking about it freaked me out.

You are awesome you make the best videos
Thank you so much bro! It means a lot 🙏
Thank you
@@kingnusmi your welcome
Love love love your vids! You should totally do a video on the Goosebumps reboot on Disney+ !!!
Thanks for the video king!
46 minute video
This was really good.
Thank you. Cool shirt bro
Also, Josh from “welcome to dead house” was also in “piano lessons can be murder” and also “shocker on shock street” as Jerry and Marty
They need to put all the episodes of Goosebumps back on Netflix or some streaming service! Awesome video as always!
Finally the dead house book was my first goose bumps book I’m glad u did this video
When I was younger I would have nightmares of the girl with the umbrella. Like for awhile she plagued all my dreams.
The voice crack is the funniest thing of the video. 😂😅 18:50
the voices in Welcome to dead house are saying "Fresh blood", that scene also creeped the hell out of me as a kid.
That just makes it even creepier dude!
Your videos are awesome 😄
This boutta be fire got my popcorn ready
I’m in class but they can’t stop me from watching my glorious king
I recently re-read Welcome to Dead House and I was surprised how well it holds up. It was the first story I read as a kid and absolutely loved it. I never actually watched the episode though
Ooh I love this episode!
It’s a great episode!!
Worth the wait great video 👍
When I was a kid, I thought the house of no return and the haunted house game were the same episode, just two separate parts 😂
i thought the same thing 😂😂
The House of No Return and The Haunted House Game are in my top 5 Goosebumps episodes of all time, so I was anxiously waiting for you to cover these episodes 😂
Also while the Welcome to Dead House book was awesome, the episode didn't really impress me, even as a kid. I guess I just wasn't scared by the villains even though I was all for the creepy scenes actually in the house.
YES!!!! YOU FINALLY DID IT🎉
I hope you cover the nightmare room sometime in the future
Ayyyyyy Goosebumps, also 😱, what’s that behind you
Well, as soon as I saw this reference or recap video and you said "Roll, a seven, go to heaven", I just KNEW that "heaven" meant a good thing and not literal Heaven, because "heaven" is usually a figure of speech meaning a good thing as reference to that when you die, Heaven is a beautiful place and nothing wrong can happen in it, that nothing can go wrong there. That's why 'heaven' is a metaphore, like "I think I've died and gone to Heaven".
Here’s an episode you can refuse the ghost next-door pretty underrated in my opinion
The part that got me scared in goosebumps was the project of the cat in the cat 2 parter
- Welcome to the Dead House to this day scares me because it feels the most realistic, lol
- I love The House of No Return and it's not forgettable to me; An old friend and I would laugh about the FOREVER part at the end all the time
- The Haunted House Game is a good one :)
I also remember that in the books that the stories are past-tense narrated, same as Rotten School.
finally he got to my fav book/ep of goosebumps dead hosue is sooo cool
Hey, I’m 5hrs late but I’m still excited to watch’nn😂❤❤
