Goosebumps – Monster Blood

“Monster Blood” offers a Blob episode with Cece (Jayden Bartels), and later Devin (Sam McCarthy) and Frankie (Galilea La Salvia), chased around the city and subway by something grown from drippings of the killer car and her kombucha. It’s basic horror, with all kinds of questions such as why the subway is completely abandoned aside from the three kids, but there’s fun to be had. The episode also fills in Cece’s backstory revealing the rather large lie she’s been keeping from everyone. Elsewhere, Anthony (David Schwimmer) continues to struggle to find the missing specimen finding no help from Trey (Stony Blyden) who isn’t sure what happened to him. The two stories converge in the final few minutes as Anthony’s kids find their father in the ruins of Fort Jerome raising new questions for all about what is going on and who is responsible.

After a flashback introducing and explaining the backstory of Alex (Francesca Noel), who is shown in multiple cameos in the two-part season premiere without explanation, and confirming that her mother (Ana Ortiz) is a piece of shit (and, from what we see in the present, not a very observant parent or cop), “The Haunted Car” picks up with her current situation while also dealing with the fallout of “Stay Out of the Basement” with everyone looking for the missing Trey (Stony Blyden). The two threads converge with Alex and Cece (Jayden Bartels) “borrow” Trey’s now haunted car searching for the person (Ethan Viera) who actually committed the crime she went to juvie for. However, things get bizarre when the car shows a mind of its own.

Goosebumps - Say Cheese and Die!

Inspired by the horror young adult novels from R. L. Stine, Disney+’s new series offers five stories of teens being haunted when a vengeful spirit is unleashed. Giving us boilerplate horror characters without much depth, our teens include the brash jock (Zack Morris), his mean girlfriend (Rhinnan Payne), his longtime female best friend (Isa Briones), and goofy sidekick (Miles McKenna). Taking advantage of a remodeled empty house for a party, one where their new English teacher (Justin Long) is about to move in and has unknowingly awakened the spirit of a high school student who died in the house 30 years earlier, our dumb kids are about to find themselves trapped in situations they can neither explain nor escape.
