To those of you who don't know who Aunt Dahlia is, she's the bad guy from "An Old Story."Her M.O. is basically telling parents completely ignorant of their own family tree that she's a distant relative come to watch over the kids while they go on vacation. After sneaking in, she feeds the kids magic prunes that make them grow older. She then sells the kids to depraved elders who became old naturally as spouses for them to do God knows what to them. Her latest two victims fought back and dumped a whole jar of her magic prune juice on her making her age to death. The prunes are easy to cure by the way, just need baby food or anti-aging cream.Aunt Dahlia is probably one of the sickest, most vile monstrosities ever to have crawled out of Stine's head and that says something.
It's a weird trend in Goosebumps books that parents would rather leave their kids with someone they barely know just because they're a relative, rather than just letting them stay with a friend or a neighbor or something.
The purposes were... A little more straight forward. Basically she was trying to age up kids to turn them into elderly bachelors for older women. Still creepy as all get-out from an "FBI OPEN UP" perspective, but it's not played off nearly as horrific as it sounds. It's played up more so for humor.
This actually seems like a really cute little game. I also love how the protagonist seems more mildly annoyed at the creepy house than actually scared of it :D I'm wondering if it's going to turn out that the game is just trolling you with the number of items you can pick up.
@@gamman1 Every game that allows me to live out my kleptomaniac tendencies, even though it's might be a parody on videogame kleptomania... I'll take it !
Ok not to sound creepy or weird or anything but your enthusiasm for Goosebumps is really cute?? Also I had never heard of this game before I saw you playing it in my feed and I was honestly not expecting something this cool, dang. It looks super good so far.
+Kasandria Millo Hello, I notice you only comment to berate me about something, and you always have replies disabled so I can't defend myself against your relentless condescension. You may be surprised to learn that most of the stuff you berate me about, like in this video ("GO TO THE ATTIC OH MY GOD"), you are completely wrong about. You cannot go to the attic yet because the walls close in and kill you. In order to stop the walls from closing in, you need a lot of items I didn't have yet in this video. So no, I can't just walk into the attic, a bunch of stuff needs to happen first. Please for the love of my fucking sanity, either enable replies or stop exclusively commenting with complaints about things that you are dead wrong about. It is seriously annoying.
+HarshlyCritical just went to her channel page and its as bare bones as you can get. She just seems like a whiner and it seems to me that she's one of those girls that spouts off things without even thinking.
With her replies disabled, I would think she's one of the types that can dish it out, but can't take the heat. If you can't take criticism, don't give it.
"Retuuurn the slaaab!" How dare you bring back my nightmares, John. Also, if memory serves correctly, the purple peanut butter kills you, in the original story. Either that, or transports you. It's been so damned long, and even when those books were still readily available, I never actually got the chance to read that specific one.
The way you imitated the ghost children was great. I read on Steam that quite a few people have struggled with this game due to the puzzles, and I'm guessing it's because there are so many items to collect. It's amazing that they all can fit in your backpack.
Second time watching through this and I just realized that in the tv show version of an old story one of the characters is named John, so whenever aunt Dahlia calls you John it's kind of an unintentional reference.
After you drank the prune juice, my item-hoarder-completionist side was like, "Nooo, you didn't take the plate and placemat again!" Not that you need them, but it's the principle of the thing. XD
Ah sweet! The purple peanut butter! That was my first ever Give Your Goosebumps book. Such a weird one, but I loved it and even shared it with a friend. Apparently she didn't do to so well with it when it came to making decisions.
@@BodySprayMan I’ve only read maybe two of the Give Yourself Goosebumps books. I think one of them was about a knight? The other one was Don’t Feed the Vampire. That’s really cool that you responded. Thanks a lot
@@siamesewarrior7248 no problem. I think I recall the knight book as well. As for deaths, don't recall all. I think one was shrinking to nothingness, suffocation, experimented on by the government, and shredded by a water processing plant turbine.
+Blagden Le Corbeau Literally every video game character's bag, pack, or pocket is a dimension. Especially Link, how the hell does he keep 5 bottles, 3 sets of clothes, 3 pairs of boots, 2-3 swords, a bow, a hookshot and a bunch of other shit on him at all times?!
OMG so many references make me quite nostalgic, I loved Goosebumps and had so many of the books. I have to say that kid has a very big resistent bag and he doesn't seem to mind carrying it around.
I didn't expect it, but I really like this game so far. The large quantity of items is a bit much, though. Makes me wonder if you can just grab stuff for the sake of grabbing it.
If memory serves me right, the items are useful towards the end when you get to the mall and meet the leprechaun? I think he gives you a riddle tied to a certain random item?
For the Give Yourself Goosebumps part you mentioned, Fifi was from book #15: Please Don't Feed the Vampire! and the Purple Peanut Butter was from book #6: Beware the Purple Peanut Butter!
Holy crap I didn't think purple peanut butter was going to be in this game. It was definitely one of the weirder give yourself goosebumps books back then. I still have it lying around somewhere.
This may sound "harsh" lol but I just started watching markiplier's play through of Soma. Can I just say that I enjoyed you playing mich more and thought you were a much better player than he is, so far, with soma. You definitely gained my respect, good sir. Keep up the great work!
it's so nice to actually find a walkthrough with commentary because a lot of the others are silent and some of them just kept repeating parts of the game so thank you for your commentary and videos this helped me so much.
There's an old goosebumps short story called "mirror, mirror on the wall" It had to do with a girl named Bonnie sue and her reflection. Also, that captain picture that you kept passing on the stair? I swear I've seen him in the goosebumps tv show. The one with the headless ghost.
I remember when I was younger, Slappy always freaked me out! And once upon I time, I owned some of the Goosebumps books but I had given them to my younger cousin who expressed an interest in them when he visited a few years ago.I hope that the movie's good because I want to see it.
John, you get the hell outta here with that Return The Slab shit. That ruined my childhood lol. That episode came on today. It still makes me just NOPE. His voice, man. And the swaying. Ugh.
First the Silent Hill reference with the Dog, and now your Aunt Dahlia in a strange otherworldly version of your house... so this is what happened to PT.
love it how John read out the script/story in games... it cracks me up..he would make an awesome voice as a character in a video game....John you are Epic
Wait, I think you're getting your wires crossed. The purple peanut butter, babysitter Zoe and Fifi were all GYG plot devices, but they were all from different books. Just a little note. And I'm not sure if you know it, but that sponge is called a Grool and it's basically a bad luck charm. Being nice to it is the only way to destroy it.
I play alot of Hidden Object games and this game reminds me sooo much of them haha. I get use to collecting alot of items in those types of games and then getting rid of them all in one go XD. It's like you have a Harry Potter back pack XD
as a huge huge fan of goosebumps this was so fun to watch I love all the references and all the eater eggs I just started watching today and I'm already a fan
I'm really liking this game, it reminds me of a spooky puzzle game I had when I was very little, and I think it really captures Goosebump's atmosphere! It's really nice. Thanks for playing
"Why do i have so many items?" Well John it seems to me like you have a hording problem, that may be the reason . . . John please put my step ladder back . . . John what are you doing . . . John . . . sthap . . . Also anyone else think of a Zelda point and click game? Seems that would be a decent idea, explains why Link had infinite pocket space like Nameless-Kid John here.
I would like it if you tried to die on purpose every now and then, just so we can see the various deaths. That's a big part of the fun with games like this.
This reminds me of then. :) They still sell the 2000 books at Barnes And Noble. I love them, and books. I will also start collecting Goosebumps again when I have the chance. :3
Omg, that clock story is one of my favorites! Together with the one about an evil ring that turns everyone evil who wears it. I have no idea how most of the Goosebumps are called in English and I also heard a lot of them are changed while being translated. I wonder why...
This game brings back memories and I think I'd like to get a copy for myself to play. The only issue I have is the repetitiveness of "I have too much stuff." There's not much else to do in a puzzle game aside from collect items and explore for possible outcomes. Goosebumps is a very LARGE series in regards to YA reading. And not everyone has read every book. The game looks fun and it does seem like you're having fun playing it. It certainly makes me want to play it for myself. I think the only downside is hearing "There's so much stuff" every 3 minutes.
Wait, do you own all the Goosebumps books?! I remember the cover of 'How I got my Shrunken Head' used to scare me so much that I glued two pages together in another book that advertised it in the back, just so I wouldn't have to read the title. I was easily scared as a child. :/
Welcome to Dead House was the first Goosebumps book and it shows, because R.L Stine didn't know at the time how to balance horror elements with goofy elements. Dead House is just ALL scary with not much to balance it out for kids. Welcome to Dead House is the only Goosebumps book I know where 'the rules of Goosebumps' are broken (since they haven't been set yet). Parents who regularly argue, children who CAN and DO die, the dog gets killed, the words "die" and "kill" are used, there's gore...CHILD gore, and the main character, who is a child, gets strangled nearly to death. Stine himself said he wished he didn't make it so dark and that he'd love to go back and change it.

yep @@Redracer96
8:15 that picture of the clown is Murder the Clown from The Ghost Dog Howls and A Nightmare on Clown Street.
The way you imitated the ghost children was great. I read on Steam that quite a few people have struggled with this game due to the puzzles, and I'm guessing it's because there are so many items to collect. It's amazing that they all can fit in your backpack.

While reading that I wish the courage scream would've been edited in the video or in the game during that moment
i love how around 8:00 everything in that room was so incredulous to john. "a COFFEE TABLE??!!?!?"
The funny thing is, this game is scarier than most of the indie horrors that John has played.
Omg I thought it all was a dream, when I was little I had a dream about a book that was about a kitchen sponge! And it was true? Omg omg
Imagine the moment all the monsters are sucked back into their books, his bag just rips apart from all the items he has.

john...your enthusiasm for goosebumps is contagious - and impressive! liking the playthrough too!
This game seems both surprisingly good and surprisingly well written! It has even managed to make me feel quite nostalgic too!
I can't believe I remember all these titles from the goosebumps books. I hope this resurgence gets the younger generation back into horror.

This is actual not that bad of a game, it's extremely faithful and obviously adores the source material as much as the fans.
When you said "Return the slab" I just about died. Thanks
God, how did I miss this gem of a game? Thank you John this is amazing.

John, thank you for playIng this game. Goosebumps tv series is a childhood nostalgia. But the novel was rare in the Province in the Philippines.
I'm loving this so far, can't wait for more.
At this point I'm almost more curious about this than Undertale, even though I barely any contact with goosebumps :D
Welcome to Dead House was the first Goosebumps book and it shows, because R.L Stine didn't know at the time how to balance horror elements with goofy elements. Dead House is just ALL scary with not much to balance it out for kids. Welcome to Dead House is the only Goosebumps book I know where 'the rules of Goosebumps' are broken (since they haven't been set yet).
Parents who regularly argue, children who CAN and DO die, the dog gets killed, the words "die" and "kill" are used, there's gore...CHILD gore, and the main character, who is a child, gets strangled nearly to death.
Stine himself said he wished he didn't make it so dark and that he'd love to go back and change it.
