    Anakins a scaredy cat

    Never thought I'd see the day that anakin would be scared of a few practical jokes... or so it would seem.

    My Most Favorite Goosebumps Episode

    This Goosebumps episode is my most favorite episode of all time. The plot was great, and I enjoyed it. I have got to say that this has to be the number one "Night of the Living Dummy" adaptation of this Goosebumps tv show one of the best episodes ever.

    comic opener to the second part

    This episode isn't so much "horror" or "supernatural" as it is straight up preteen comedy. It is pretty entertaining and likable, with some good comedic moments here and there. For example, when Zane meets his cousins for the first time in a few years, their interactions are realistically awkward in the most hilarious possible way! Unfortunately, a lot of the other comedy was derived from trashy puns, but it is so lighthearted and fun that I can forgive its great abundance of flaws. It's a nice, funny twenty minutes that serve as a nice intro to the characters who are soon to be put into absolute peril in the second, more successful and scary part.
