R.L. Stine Has Weird Ideas About Dating

Описание: R.L. Stine was a middle-aged man in the 80s and 90s, writing horror fiction for teenagers - and what's more horrifying to the hip young teens than dating? Today we're talking about every R.L. Stine Point Horror and Fear Street book with the word "date" in the title - and how to tell them apart! We'll also take some time to determine the relevance of each of the threats in these books to the actual dating lives of teens in the 1990s.

We're talking about Blind Date; Broken Date; First Date; Double Date; and The Perfect Date!

We start with a quick one-line summary of each book, then move into more in-depth commentary. We'll talk about idiot boys who want to date random voices on the phone; idiot girls who could solve everything with a simple conversation; a girl whose only dating choices are an angry walking red flag or a serial kiIIer with mommy issues; an idiot boy who gets tricked by a fake psycho triplet; and a boy being menaced by confusing body-hopping zombies!

So join me as I talk about: Zombies! Slapstick attempted m*rder! Holding your breath for 4 minutes! Moose head! Singing while breaking toes! Okie Farnum! Convoluted revenge plots! So many cabins! Driving recklessly! Kids who should definitely break up! Teenage boys being dumb and h0rny! And more!
