*Insert train whistle here* It's Spooktacular Express time y'all! Gear up for our month-long, Halloween-themed content adventure as we bored the train for a Goosebumps land! That's right listener, we're reaching deeper into the Scholastic Book Fair well to create semi-spooky horror games. The goal this week is to create the best possible video game adaptation of a classic Goosebumps tale. Nobody tell R.L. Stine, but these games have just as much to do with the source material as their covers used to.

The Spooktacular Express makes a few stops in spooky locations this week. Matt requested the conductor to drop him off at a spooky, secret amusement park deep in the forest. Todd's doing a time travel thing in a big spooky tower. Meanwhile, Kyle reboots the very first Goosebumps book, or is it the first season of American Horror Story?
