Goosebumps/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Horror

  • As noted elsewhere on this wiki, the Night of the Living Dummy books in the Goosebumps series is about ten times scarier when you consider the situation. They're about dummies (Slappy or Mr. Wood, depending on which book you're reading) attempting to enslave pre-teen girls. When the girls resist him, he slaps and hits them. To top it all off, in one book he demands a bride, a preteen girl, who he gives violent attacks and calls then "love taps".
    • Also in one of the Goosebumps books; Revenge of the Living Dummy, it is revealed that Slappy hasn't been awake for most of the book so when you think about the time Brittney was pushed the stairs by the dummy, that means that Ethan actually pushed his cousin down the stairs, just for an elaborate joke.
  • During Egg Monsters From Mars, the main character is locked into a fridge cell and the titular egg monsters wrap all around him, supposedly to protect him from the cold. In the end, the protagonist (a 12-year-old boy) lays an egg while he sits on the toilet. This means that the monsters did not really want to protect him from the cold, they wanted to impregnate him.
  • In the Curse of "Camp Cold-Lake" Sarah says she hates swimming camp and then Della shows up, but got chased away by her camp friend. It is never revealed what happened to Sarah afterwards when her ghostly camp-friend had a (presumably) poisonous snake. Was Sarah forced to stay at the camp for life?
