Just a Major Corporation Slapping Goosebumps on the Cover to make Money!

Now I will say, differences is perfectly fine. And I do get the original episode is outdated now, so a new look into the supposed "Goosebumps" is fine. I've also read the book too, so I was waiting to find some similarities. There was none! There's nothing to do with Goosebumps. Goosebumps is also ment to be an anthology but it's not here, I Don't know maybe budgeting restrictions I guess?

But how can you slap Goosebumps on the title, when it's got absolutely nothing in common with the old TV show, even Book. Villains? Yes. But I've only watched this episode. And it doesn't even have the cheesy camp that made the original show great.

The acting performances are great though, and the style is half bad. A more grander and darker approach might work well. But without the Cheesyness from the Books and old TV Show the feel of this siries doesn't even mech. But the overall performances were great, lots of talk about Football though too. That's where the positives end unfortunately.

Watch the original, it's by far better. This one doesn't have the charm, the overall feel to the other siries and Books. The stories in the older siries still had there similarities. This has nothing to do with anything of Goosebumps. And the plot was quite bad. Like why are people exploding, and why is someone been thrown in an abandoned building? See none of this makes sense. Terrible. Time for my verdict,

Verdict,

2/10 No wonder only episode 2-3 are on Disney +. This was appauling.
