RL Stine's Carnival of Horrors: A Choose Your Own Nightmare EP 116
from Uchoose Podcast · host uchoosepodcast
Welcome back to another episode of the You Choose podcast! This week, we trade our trusty 80s adventures for a peak 90s classic: RL Stine's Escape from the Carnival of Horrors. Because nothing says "healthy childhood" like wandering into an abandoned theme park run by a dude named Big Al and getting bossed around by a girl named Patty who possesses zero self-preservation instincts. We take the wheel—and immediately lose our brakes —as we navigate doom slides , space coasters , and a random dwarf that just grabs your leg in a pitch-black tunnel. Normal Scholastic Book Fair stuff, right?What We Dissected:The absolute lack of stranger danger our generation had, hopping fences at 9 PM. Why every single character in this book does nothing but "gaze" at things. Animorphs, Goosebumps, and the paperback heavyweights that defined the 90s. Getting turned into a ghost because you couldn't clap three times and catch a ball.
