Goosebumps Theories

The Movie.

The 2018 Goosebumps movie reveals:

R.L. Stine and Slappy

In the movie Goosebumps (2015) and its sequel Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween (2018), Slappy is given a deep, haunting want for a family. he calls R.L. Stine "Papa", refers to the other monsters as his siblings, and tries despretly to recruit himself a family team. He is so foolishley and obviously deperate for a family. Critically, through his first 7 books, Slappy lacks a motivation. He wants "slaves" but to no end, the most he does is ask them to feed him, rub his shoulders, and muck around. Hmmm, seems like family stuff Slappy, you need a family.

Does he just want somewhere to live? SHe wants somewhere to hang out and people to love. R.L. Stine gave him the means to be scary and the want to be scary, this is all he has. He has no idea now else to interact with people.

Does he need to eat? Does he sometimes feel hunger and not know how to resolve it? R.L. Stine, please help him. Teach him how to interact with people and get what he needs.

Hannah is Immortal

Hannah is dead, she is a ghost. In her book, Hannah has a limited physical presence in the living world. She can be seen and heard by a few other chracters, and can move items with effort. In the "real" world, outside the books, Hannah seems to have an unlimited physical presence. Only in the moonlight is she a ghost. Zach interacts with her, she interacts easily with the physical world, everyone can see her. In the end of the movie, she begins going to school. She is not alive, she is dead. She cannot age, Im assuming. She will live forever at 16. What about when R.L. Stine dies? It will just be her and Slappy.
