for Goosebumps: Kids vs Monsters

I assume the mask's call comes from Scream of The Haunted Mask, because I don't remember it having that power in any of the other Haunted Mask stories I've read. Or was there a Most Wanted book? Either way, am I right?
Well, finally the purple peanut butter and Monster Blood came together. I remember one of the continuity changes in the book is that if you eat the purple peanut butter after the chocolate cake, thinking it will shrink you after the cake makes you grow, it actually tastes awful and speeds up your growth. I can see it having a different effect if you've eaten a growing formula, but it should still taste the same. I know you do look for Monster Blood in one version of the story, but it was nice to actually see it happen. But...when do you stop growing from it? Same with the blue formula. Evan got to his normal size, but then shrank even smaller - yet you can win in that book if you drink Kermit's blue formula, as opposed to the one that turns you into gingerbread.

Another great chapter. My fave part was Ricky and Carly Beth’s reaction. And it’s so in Ricky’s character to give into temptation. Also I loved the Haunted Mask here. It’s such a manipulative and persuasive entity and fun to write for.

Well, that's a triumph for kids. At least there's a chance that a few won't be eaten. But Ricky's in major trouble now, when/if the Creeps find him. He'll have to knuckle down to the Commander himself, if they don't kill him.

Loved Slappy and Mary-Ellen’s interaction here. I kinda like how much he resists her, yet they’re perfect together. And I love Mortman’s interaction with Maaargh. Great chapter as usual.

Something about Kermit and Dr. Brewer working together just seems so right. I love that pairing. Another great chapter as usual. It feels episodic. And that’s in a good way.

Sorry it took me a while to review - I was going to bed when I got the notification. No, no idea about Sternom house, but cool that Mr Blankenship lives there.
Not sure if I got the Camp Nightmare references, apart from seeing tranq guns.
Good chapter. I recognize the snakeskin jacket - that was a short story, right?

Yep, I noticed the vampires. Although as far as I remember, it'll be another hundred years or something before Freddy's fangs come in. I'm quite glad you had the sympathetic Zoe rather than the Zoe that wants to turn the kids into part of their rat army or use grated kid as part of the Switch Cheese (so I guess Casey knew this could turn out a lot worse, considering that's what he thought was going on).
Why are Wade's parents so intent on turning her back? Considering she likes looking and sounding prettier - well, doesn't it make sense that she'd want to keep those traits? It's like her parents want her to feel bad about herself. Micah has some excuse to make Wade's life miserable, but her parents GAVE her a life in the first place, so shouldn't they want the best for her?
I had a weird GYG dream the other night, but I'll go into more detail in a PM.

I'm glad the Summoner helped. The Vampire Breath Monthly was pretty good. Also, this was a relaxing read. I just bought a Spanish book and I'm trying to read it. After you've tried to read a language you're not fluent in, this is so much easier.
Ugh, Dr Gray really annoys me. He never does anything good, and I agree with everyone else - Hannah is definitely easier company.

Wade Brill is trans. I'm both shocked and happy to see a trans character in a goosebumps fic. I'm rooting for her, go Wade!

I am pro-Goosebumps supporting diversity. Someone pointed out that Goosebumps was very white. I heard that there may have been mixed-race kids and Egyptians, but my go-to for an African-American character was always Briana, and she's a bit stereotypical at least in appearance (she's described as the girl with cornrows before her name is known). I just want to see Wade's family react to her new voice and hair. Will they even recognize her?
I once saw this video on YouTube, you know, Reddit stories, where one story had a Karen tell a manager to fire this twelve-year-old who didn't work there at all because her voice was too deep and raspy. The twelve-year-old had been nice and friendly and helpful when she didn't even work there, but no, "She's scaring my kid, so she shouldn't work here!" There's other stories similar, but that's pretty terrible. There was also a woman who expected a girl to take her top off because it was blue and "It's confusing my son". Well, she said "change your top", but what did she expect? No one said to her "I don't have another top. Do you expect me to show your son my bra?" Reminds me a bit of Wade.
I'm a little bit worried about Margaret and Casey. They need to be careful of everything in the Fun Zone.

Cole and Crystal, I was wondering when we'd hear from them again; at the very least, they should tell people about their experience with her, and her "policy". After all, it'd be the POLITE thing to do, wouldn't it?

Oh the scene with Wade and Clarissa put a huge smile on my face. There’s something so cathartic about seeing Wade being treated kindly by a better and nicer witch who truly WANTS to help her. Lovely scene, great chapter.

Well, to be fair, Vanessa's actions had surprising motives. I mean, seriously, slow animorphs for kids who forgot to apologise for something? I'm not that surprised that she wants to redeem herself, especially after meeting a witch whose acts causing harm are from incompetence rather than spite and her motive was actually returning a kindness. Witches can do all sorts of good things aside the evil ones, right?
I don't remember Mrs Eakins, or Officer Rawls, for that matter. Where are they from?

Loved the inclusion of Mary-Ellen and the scene with her and Slappy. Another great chapter!

I love Holly Jolly Holiday, that's one of my ever most favorite stories!
