Slappy Beware! 10/21/2022

Slappy Beware! It's the 30th Anniversary of Goosebumps and what better way to celebrate our good pal RLS's accomplishment than a new episode?! It's been three decades and it's about time we learn where that no good Dummy came from. Matt & Dave return to decipher Slappy's origin from Stine's new opus, Slappy Beware! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/24731883

Bailey School Drop Outs: The Tale of Laughing in the Dark 04/01/2022

Bailey School Drop Outs: The Tale of Laughing in the Dark Let's face it, books are for nerds. It's all about TV now. The Bailey School Dropouts have quit the world of Childrens Horror Literature and will take a quick trip into Canadian Childrens Horror Television. Zeebo the Clown awaits in the fun house. Smoke'em if you got'em. April Fool. /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/22644074

The Haunted Car 12/24/2021

The Calling All Creeps Podcast Finale 07/27/2021

The Calling All Creeps Podcast Finale All good things must come to an end. Is that why the Goosebumps franchise is still going strong? (We kid.) /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/19940777

Ep 62. Monster Blood IV 07/12/2021

Ep 62. Monster Blood IV You know how most people finish off their grand projects with a big bang? Not our boy RLS. "Fizzle and Die" is the best way to describe the ending of the Goosebumps original 62. He was already working on the Goosebumps 2000 series at this point. (Insert that meme of the guy with the girlfriend looking at the other girl.) Also, this is the final Goosebumps book and we are free of this curse. /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/19779974

Ep. 61 I Live in Your Basement 06/29/2021

Ep. 61 I Live in Your Basement Friend of the pod and artist Gene (@melt.gif) helps Matt and Dave tackle one of the final books in the original 62 Goosebumps! We are super happy that RL Stine has returned to a tried and true plot device. Our good friend Head Trauma returns in this action packed book about misremembering and taking baseball bats to the dome! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/19640141

Ep 60. Werewolf Skin 06/14/2021

Ep 60. Werewolf Skin RL Stine has been holding back this whole time. Severed heads, people peeling off their skin, murdering neighbors, near death car accidents, home made doughnuts, this book has it all! Only three more books in the original 62 Goosebumps and this one is helping it end with a high note! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/19461875

More Monster Blood: Goosebumps Television Series 05/31/2021

More Monster Blood: Goosebumps Television Series Evan is tired of this mother f*#$'n Monster Blood, on the this mother f*#$'n plane! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/19296122

Ep 59. The Haunted School 05/17/2021

Ep 59. The Haunted School Students, please find your seats! Today we will be covering school dance posters, mannequin modern art memorials for dead kids, disembodied voices, black and white child purgatory... /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/19127147

Ep 58. Deep Trouble II 05/03/2021

Ep 58. Deep Trouble II The original Deep Trouble was one of the best selling Goosebumps books in the series and also won the prestigious Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award. The fans wanted more, so RLS delivered. The Deep family are in deep sh*t again. No mermaids this time, but I'm pretty sure Sheena gets swallowed by a female reproductive organ. I don't know, just read it. /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/18950474

Ep. 57 My Best Friend is Invisible 04/20/2021

Ep. 57 My Best Friend is Invisible What is it about the invisibility books? They're all bad. Just plain awful. Matt & Dave mix literature with alcohol and bathroom humor to make it through book number 57! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/18787940

Ep. 56 The Curse of Camp Cold Lake 04/05/2021

Ep. 56 The Curse of Camp Cold Lake You can fit so many dead kids in this cold, cold lake. RL Stine is sick of letting children live in book 56 and starts swinging the scythe around! If things weren't spooky enough, Ashley of Lloyd's Pub Podcast (@lloyds_pub_podcast) joins Matt and Dave to discuss the book and her ghostly experiences (she is super haunted). /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/18602267

Bailey School DropOuts: April Fools Jokes Don't Always Happen In April 03/22/2021

Bailey School DropOuts: April Fools Jokes Don't Always Happen In April Ed, Matt, Dave, and the Bailey School gang are back! I mean, they haven't really gone anywhere because this is the normal show and not the long running April fools joke. /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/18414959

Ep 55. The Blob That Ate Everyone 03/08/2021

Ep 55. The Blob That Ate Everyone In a sea of stinkers, The Blob That Ate Everyone is a shining gem in the back-end of the Goosebumps library. This is a book worth savoring like a fine wine. Matt and Dave pop the cork with returning guest Lou Morgue and ArtfromAnt. Blobs and punguses, all aged to perfection... /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/18227891

Ep. 54 Don't Go to Sleep 02/22/2021

Ep. 54 Don't Go to Sleep Don't judge a book by its cover. While you're at it, don't judge a book by its title either. We only mention it because this book has a pretty cool cover and title. I believe that says all that needs to be said... /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/18034910

Ep 53. Chicken Chicken 02/08/2021

Ep 53. Chicken Chicken This is a very bad book that sucks and is bad. Goth-Jock, super friend of the pod, Brian returns to help shoulder the burden. /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/17860112

Ep. 52 How I Learned to Fly 01/25/2021

Ep. 52 How I Learned to Fly This isn't a scary book but it says "Goosebumps" on the front so we read it. Who cares if a kid flies? Is he a vampire? Maybe a gargoyle? Nah, just a kids flying because he is upset about rollerblading with a cute girl or something. Who knows... /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/17673350

Ep 51. Beware, the Snowman 01/11/2021

Ep 51. Beware, the Snowman Do you want to build a snowman? This book doesn't have too much in common with the hit Disney film Frozen, but there is a dead mom, so it has that going for it! Disney hates living parents like the small arctic village of Sherpia hates ice caves and the monstrous snowman that inhabits them. /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/17495642

Ep 50. Calling All Creeps 12/28/2020

Ep 50. Calling All Creeps THE TITULAR EPISODE IS HERE! On top of that, it's the final episode of 2020, which regular listeners of the pod will realize is a big deal! Creeps? We got em! Get ready! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/17341301

Ep 49. Vampire Breath 12/14/2020

Ep 49. Vampire Breath Tis the season to start pulling all the boxes of holiday decorations from the basement. While you're down there, make sure you don't uncover any ancient coffins filled with magic fart bottles or you'll have to help an old monster with his dental needs. /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/17178344

Ep 48. Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns 11/30/2020

Ep 48. Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns What's with tweens and Halloween based revenge plots? These should be the best years of their lives! You're not too old to trick or treat and too young to be prosecuted for most crimes. Drew may be the smallest girl in her grade but she holds a massive grudge. And it all gets crazy when Jack-O'-lantern Monsters hit the scene! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/16992887

Ep 47. Legend of the Lost Legend 11/16/2020

Ep 47. Legend of the Lost Legend Some stories can not be found in your local library. Some tales are not searchable on the internet. Some legends only exist in the dense forests of European countries like Brovania, to be found by overweight fathers and accident prone children. Also, how about there are giant cats and a viking while we're at it? /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/16820822

Garbage Pail Kids: Welcome to Smellville 11/02/2020

Garbage Pail Kids: Welcome to Smellville RL Stine has had his vomit jokes packed away for a rainy day and this book was a hurricane! Does RLS know farts? Poops? Pants Falling down? Boogers? Let us fill you in on RL Stine's Were-wolf transformation back to Jovial Bob Stine in this rapid-fire joke take on Topps Garbage Pail Kids! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/16649354

Ep.46 How to Kill a Monster 10/19/2020

Ep.46 How to Kill a Monster Happy Halloween to all of our Boo Dudes! It's the spookiest of seasons and what better reason to cuddle up with a good Goosebumps book? It's hard for swamp grandparents to relate to their grandkids with their video games and tamagotchis. When baking and fun indoor activities fail, abandon those kids and inspire them to murder wildlife! Let's kill this monster!!! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/16453244

Ep 45. Ghost Camp (2 Year Anniversary Special) 10/05/2020

Ep 45. Ghost Camp (2 Year Anniversary Special) Boo Dudes! Can you believe we've been reading children books for two years now? Us either. It's like we're paying overdue taxes for all of the Summer Readings Programs we lied about. Dear Mr. Henshaw? Nah, I'm good. /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/16271081

Ep 44. Say Cheese and Die... Again! 09/28/2020

Ep 44. Say Cheese and Die... Again! Same deal as the first one... /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/16185866

Ep. 43 The Beast From the East 09/14/2020

Ep. 43 The Beast From the East Tag, you're it! Wanna be made in the shade? Jerking away from blue bear monsters deep in the woods? Let Matt and Dave explain why this makes sense by diving into one of the oddest books yet! /episode/index/show/callingallcreeps/id/15996209
