HENRY YOU TRIED TO PRANK ME GOOSEBUMPS MOVIE
This is the movie that everyone knows, regardless of if they’ve seen it or not. A skeleton longing for newness and excitement decides to try Christmas, much to the chagrin of his neighbors and our human world. This Tim Burton/Henry Selick masterpiece gives us the crossover of all time: Halloween x Christmas. Jack Skellington and Halloween Town is everything I ever wanted to be. It’s kids fun with a monster twist! October 3 - The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) But not so wrong where people actually get hurt. It’s a simple tale of kids trying to prank someone, only for it to go wrong. I love this episode, so much that I have an Etsy notebook made from the hardcover itself. Little do they know, the monster is very real. Hoping to one-up the smartest girl in class, two boys plot to scare her with the tale of the local Mud Monster. I don’t know why, but this episode feels the most like my childhood. October 2 - Goosebumps: You Can’t Scare Me (S2E7, 1996) While I have a lot of logistical questions now, it scares me just as much as it did seeing it as a kid. White porcelain faces, a toy house that seems to be alive, and the thought of slowly becoming an unmoving doll are more than frightening enough without adding in the very real feeling of having a child disappear without a trace. The mysterious dollhouse in the attic has a lot to do with it, and the girl finds herself in the same danger when she decides to play with it. A girl visits her aunt and uncle, only to find her friend has disappeared. Out of all the AYAOTD episodes, this is one of the ones that stuck with me the most. Check back every day to see the next mini-review! October 1 - Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Dollmaker (S3E5, 1994)
HENRY YOU TRIED TO PRANK ME GOOSEBUMPS TV
Whether it’s a Disney Channel Original, a TV show (or whole series), or a movie with horror elements that happens to be kid-friendly, we’ve got a spot highlighted for it each day in October. I’m a 90s Kid, and while the 90s isn’t necessarily known for the best horror movies, it no doubt ( pun intended) had the best horror for kids.
