A completely out of left field twist, even for a Goosebumps. Not my favorite, honestly, but great visuals

i’m doggedly re-reading these in order all because there are some specific favorites i really want to get to but the perfectionist in me won’t allow me to read them out of order.
while this one was also fun to read, i enjoyed it less than the first two in the series but i did find myself empathizing heavily with evan and his attempts to get rid of the ever-growing monster blood from the very suspicious toy store more than i empathized with the characters from the previous books. if the fake monster blood i purchased from the toy store kept constantly growing and literally turning my cat (dog here) into a giant, it would without question be my last straw. i thought r.l. stine did a great job in creating the spooky tension and heightening it where you can’t help but feel evan’s frustration over possibly not being able to save his dog and getting rid of all that monstrous monster blood.
aunt kathryn’s character was perfectly creepy in the beginning and i loved her character and her creepy ass cat just the same. however, that ending twist with the cat (iykyk) was so unexpected and ott. i’m currently still recovering from the whiplash it gave me.
I AM ALSO SO HAPPY THE NEXT ONE IS “SAY CHEESE AND DIE” and i’m even much more closer to getting to “night of the living dummy” one of my personal favorites! see you soon goosebumps ily from the bottom of my spooky heart <3
