I don't think it was that bad! It's easy to say that now when everything is in HD (even my contacts, seriously. No lie), but back in the 90s, I'm sure this was pretty good. I remember being wowed by the special effects. Granted, I was a kid, but still. I think they did a great job with what they had at the time.
@cronin2004 Yes, you'd probably have to watch the whole episode to get it. He was pretending to be a little girl. Look up Tale of the Bookish Babysitter when you have a chance :)
yeah lol, the special effects are bad but the kids acting is atrocious... and he ended up in two different episodes (ghastly grinner was the second one i think?) lol... i wonder what he is up to in 2011?
@MrMatt606 Seriously? I've seen a few episodes of Goosebumps on tv and thought it was terrible. I actually enjoyed this show as a kid, and even now it brings nostalgia. I think it was more about the stories than the effects tbh.
Haven´t anyone played World Of Warcraft in here? The tranny sounds just like the Goblins (Zeppelin Master etc.) when he laughs at 0:07. Hell, just his voice is like the Goblins voice.
Ya know, after he trips the ghoul-bitch is just standing there laughing having not moved. I would have said, "Is that all you're gonna do, laugh at me to death?"
0:15 roflmaooooooooooooooo lmao y did he scream like that...funniest part...cant stop laughin...lol idk how he could even take this scene seriously acting it out
How about, you're an unintelligent person who tried to unwittingly correct me without even checking to see if my statement was correct or not. But it's so much easier to call you a dumbass.
'Are You Afraid of the Dark'... I remember this. It was pretty much just a more violent, and slightly more scary version of 'Goosbumps' (the TV series, not the books) with the same preteen audience and cheesy special effects, both of which were kiddy rip offs of 'Tales From the Crypt', which was just a rip off of 'Tales From the Dark Side'.... I could go on and on and on. <_<
BAck in the 90s when this effect was first used, they probably didn't think it was that bad. Now, with all the new technology that WE have, it is funny to look back.
Keeping in mind that this show didn't have a large budget, and special effects weren't nearly as developed as they are now, this is really not horrible. The voice of that character was funny though.
What do you mean it's a "mask for weak storytelling" ?? These people cranked out seven seasons of episodes with storytelling. However, it *was* a kid's show! I watched it when I was four and five with friends and it scared us at the time! Now I watched it and laugh. Of course they needed effects! It was a children's show. I don't remember any kids ever grumbling about the quality of the effects--they just loved the show because it was good storytelling to them. :)
Yeah, this show definitely had good story telling. Even today some of the stories are still really good. The acting wasn't perfect, but then again, it was a kids show. And one that was successful enough to have that many seasons. People these days just don't get that shows back then weren't about special effects. :)
Pure awesomeness
