![]() Stine tells Amory why he didn’t want to write a series of scary stories for 7-12 year olds initially, but why he now considers them the best audience.Įnjoy, happy holidays, and don’t forget to sign our petition to help get 'Goosebumps The Musical' to Broadway: Ĭredits: This episode was written and produced by Amory Sivertson. But what you didn’t hear was… most of their conversation! It actually had very little to do with the musical (which, Stine confessed, he had never listened to), and much more to do with the origins of 'Goosebumps' and the series’ impact over the last thirty years. Stine, author of the wildly popular 'Goosebumps' book series, which turned 30 this year. Team Endless Thread is here with your holiday bonus - a bonus episode, that is! If you heard our most recent episode on 'Goosebumps The Musical,' you know that Amory got to talk to R.L. He spoke with Violation host Beth Schwartzapfel in a rare, in-depth interview about his son’s case that listeners will hear throughout the series, including this premiere. Jacob’s father, John Edgar Wideman, is an acclaimed author of many books on race, violence and criminal justice. This debut episode of “Violation,” a podcast from WBUR and The Marshall Project, introduces the story of the crime that has bound two families together for decades. It would take even longer to try to explain it to his family, to his victim’s family and to parole board members, who would decide whether he deserved to be free ever again. It would take years of therapy and medical treatment behind bars before Jacob could begin to understand what was going through his mind that night. Before long, he turned himself in and eventually confessed to the killing - although he couldn’t explain what drove him to do it. That night, Jacob went on the run, absconding with the camp’s rented Oldsmobile and thousands of dollars in traveler’s checks. In 1986, the two 16-year-olds were rooming together on a summer camp trip to the Grand Canyon when Jacob fatally - and inexplicably - stabbed Eric. Sometimes Endless Thread doesn't get to the complete bottom of Internet mysteries. In this episode, we ask Hasbro directly and try alternate routes. "It's creepy and sad, and the fact that the creators withheld information puts up a red flag." "We were concerned by the addition of an unlisted song too," writes YouTuber deefrontier5798. There are two Reddit posts about this creepy music, a YouTube video, several unhelpful emails from Hasbro to concerned parents, and numerous guesses and theories. "And there's other people on the Internet who are also. "I turn to the internet like most weirdos do, I guess, when they're obsessing over their child's toy to figure out what song it is," Matt says. ![]() So, he brought this idea to Endless Thread's pitch meetings where we throw around episode ideas. Is it creepy? "Yeah, it's definitely got that vibe," Matt says. "Straight hits."īut there's one melody on the toy that was a complete unknown to Matt. "Straight hits," as host Ben Brock Johnson says in this episode. It plays standard, well-known lullabies like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," "Frère Jacques," etc. It's a plush musical baby toy made by Hasbro that's been around for decades. He picked up a Glo Worm for his baby son, Sam. Our intrepid sound designer, Matt Reed - musician/composer extraordinaire -recently became a dad.
