Zak said... Sweet, from the getgo I had so many possibilities as to what the entry for this one will look like. However Troy, I have a few questions! Unfortunately this book is missing from my collection, but from memory: 1. Exactly how many chapters end with a cliffhanger about hair? Moreso, have the last word be "Hair"? I seem to remember a lot of "the back of my hand was covered in thick black hair", "my arms were covered in thick hair", like every other chapter. Also correct me if I'm wrong but was one of them a red hair-ing (yep) where it ended up being a scarf? 2. I was gonna look this up but unfortunately like I said I can't find this book, but can I have the transcript of the scene where Larry turns into a dog during the band performance? I honestly don't remember that part at all but if you don't wanna post it all here can you email it to me at ███████@█████.com please? Or if anyone else reading the comments has the book can they do it? Thanks, ~Zak JUNE 23, 2008 6:41 AM

Kris said... A Flaming Lips reference!? Awesome! Great entry, man. Only one more to go! Actually, it's probably nothing to be excited about. The Goosebumps 2000 books were truly awful. JUNE 23, 2008 10:33 AM

troy steele said... Everyone keeps telling me that. Surely the Series 2000 books couldn't be any worse than the cover art that adorns them. I don't have the book in front of me but the aforementioned scarf scene did take place-- it was one of the many boring scenes about hair growth that I distilled and simplified to their bare essence for the entry, pun definitely intended.

troy steele said... Just to make sure there's no confusion, the blog will not be ending next week. If a book is listed in the sidebar, it will be covered by Blogger Beware. JUNE 25, 2008 5:11 PM

troy steele said... I think I'm going to do them in order, with one-off Goosebumps books (More Tales... &c;) being covered at random intervals in-between the Series 2000 books, so that readers of the blog will still have a chance of being surprised by each week's update. I will be covering the TV series in some capacity. JUNE 27, 2008 7:28 PM

Brodie said... Is Ghosts of Fear Street still happening in some capacity? Would you invesitgate The Nightmare room at all (which I only really know from one episode of the Tv show with ikkle Justin Berfield. So cute.)? JUNE 29, 2008 8:32 PM

troy steele said... The Ghosts of Fear Street is happening VERY SOON. JUNE 29, 2008 9:11 PM

Acoustic guitar is easier to learn than drums because drums require two of your hands. Many bass guitars are heavy as well. Keyboard is harder than guitar, though, since it's like playing piano.

troy steele said... I should have been clearer, all three played electric, not acoustic, guitar, complete with a fuzzbox(!), and all the children had a working knowledge of this and other effect-pedals... just like dogs. I undersold how ridiculous their band is. In a realistic version of this novel, the band would have consisted of three tambourines and a pair of HitStix. JUNE 30, 2008 5:08 PM
