Reverse Goosebumps Au

Part 1

So for this au, Hannah and Slappy switch places and the story is almost the same but the ending completely changes.

Part 2 Part 3

-Zach is carrying boxes to his house but one of them opened from the bottom and items fell to the floor. As he was about to pick it up, he got hit with a rock on his neck. He then turns his head towards the house next door and sees a laughing “boy” with a slingshot

-The “boy” had a black hoodie that covered his head, sunglasses, gloves, and a black mask. Zach asks why he wears that and the “boy” responds with allergies and reveals that his name is Jr and that he’s older than he looks but due to his height, he gets mistaken for a child. [Note: kind of has a weird voice] Jr had to leave when Shivers catches him talking to Zach, telling him to stay away from him and his son.

-As Zach is taking out the trash, Jr sneaks up on him and they talk. Basically it goes along with the movie like explaining that his dad homeschools him. Jr does take him to the abandoned fairgrounds. As Jr suggested to climb the ferris wheel Zach asks how he climbs up there being so short. Then they get caught by Shivers….yeah. [Note: He teleports up but Zach doesn't notice]

-Later that night Zach hears two men arguing in Mr. Shivers' house and is worried about Jr. When the police came, Mr. Shivers played a movie with 2 men arguing and that he and his son are the only people living here.

-Zach brings Champ with him as Champ complains that he wanted to go to the dance and not babysit some kid. They both still get in the house and find the manuscript

[Note: As Champ is reading the titles, he does not say Night of the Living Dummy but he says the Girl Next Door]

- As the boys read, they felt a force pushing them as they fell to the floor. They heard some fingers snap and see that it was Jr. with a bat. [Note: They assumed that Jr. knocked them over with the bat but it was actually his magic and Jr. also turned the lights on by magic too but it goes unnoticed by the boys.]

- The monster escapes from the first book and as they went to catch it, the book of the girl next door is on the floor as a blue transparent hand comes out.

-They all go to chase it. [Note. Zach mentions that Jr. runs really fast for his height. That’s Jr. using his teleportation powers. When the abominable snowman falls, Jr. pushes them back with magic again. Jr. can’t reveal that he does magic but tries really hard to hide it but it's difficult when Zach and Champ being there]

-When they all go back to the house, they see a book opened and a girl sitting on a chair. Champ was about to warm up until Hannah starts asking what Stine wanted, as in to scare the next door neighbors again. Then she sees the things in Stine and asks if he needed help moving to a home she would like. As Stine says yes, he tries to get the book. Hannah gets mad and yells at him that she was the most human out of everyone, that she doesn't want to get back in the book, the fact that Stine would rather have Jr. living with him rather than her, have a normal life like rest of the people, and the main point the fact that she’s dead as she glows blue and becomes transparent. She grabs the book and floats to the giant hole in the wall, threatening Stine that because he puts him in the book with other monsters then she will be the monster that everyone will fear. Then declares if she gets to be free then everyone else does too. She lit the book on fire but instead of throwing it to the hole, she threw it at Jr. Everyone panics as they try to put the fire out and Hannah escapes.

-Gnome fight is the same but it’s Jr. who gets a gnome in the face. Then gets tied up as they try to get him in the oven. He screams that he hates fire and asks Stine if he can do the ‘thing’ now. They all escape the same way in the movie[Note: The ‘thing’ is magic since he hasn’t revealed his identity yet.]

-Hannah goes to the police as they asked her if she was lost or something but Hannah decided to turn blue as they now raised their gun threatening her not to move or talk but then Hannah explains that they can’t touch her even if they wanted as the aliens freeze them.

-The scenes are the same all the way up to the supermarket as now that Zach and Jr. are alone. Jr. tells Zach to kneel down as he sees something on his head. Zach asks if it's alright as Jr. reassures him that it was mud. [Note: Zach did have a cut but Jr. heals it. ] The chase is basically the same, even with Lorrine.

-As they walk through the graveyard, Zach jokes if Jr. wanted to get a piggyback ride and calls him a child. Then Jr. gets caught by a statue and Zach helps him out. What Jr. didn’t notice was that his glasses and mask moved as Zach noticed how much harder Jr. skin was and saw that it was shiny.

-As the graveyard ghouls came out, Zach picked Jr. up and ran to the other. When Stine gets stuck, Zach tries his best to pull him out but Jr. does it in one pull. [Note: Zach did notice this this time also he noticed how much Jr weight]

-Lorrine goes to the police station as Hannah explains that they are on a break. Lorraine freaks out because Hannah is a ghost and gets frozen.

Fear Street Trilogy Review

Beware, spoilers ahead.

I love horror movies but good horror movies are so hard to come by. Fear Street grabbed my attention as soon as they released the first trailer, it looked like a call-back to the slasher films of old, back when they were still good. And the best part was the apparent presence of lesbians, count me in!

Fear Street is based on the books by the same name by R. L. Stine, a lot of us remember Stine for another horror classic, Goosebumps. The Fear Street novels were aimed at older audiences and were way more bloody than Goosebumps- lots of teenagers dying. The films don’t adapt any particular book but rather the tone and rough setting and I think that works to its advantage.

The Setting:

Fear Street is based on the fictional town of Shadyside, the poorer and more unfortunate twin of its sister-town Sunnyside. Sunnyside is sunny, wealthy and where nothing bad ever happens. Shadyside in contrast is poorer, the homes more run-down and where, every few years, some resident snaps and goes on a murderous rampage, killing their own friends, family or whoever they can get their hands on. There are those who believe that Shadyside is cursed by Sarah Fier, a witch who was hanged in the 1600s when she cut off her hand and used it to curse the town.

Fear Street Part 1:

1994 functions like the introduction and set-up for the trilogy. It introduces us to the characters, Deena (Kiana Madeira), Sam (Olivia Scott Welch), Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.), Kate (Julia Rehwald) and Simon (Fred Hechinger). They unwittingly trigger the curse when they stumble across the bones of Sarah Fiers, soon killers are chasing them, killing-machines powered by the curse and who can’t be killed. Deena, Sam, Josh, Kate and Simon have to put aside their differences and work together to survive the night.

Fear Street Part 2: 1978

1978 opens with the survivors of 1994 going to C. Berman (Gillian Jacobs), the lone survivor of the Camp Nightwing massacre. It provides insight into the massacre that saw dozens of Shadyside kids being killed. 1978 takes us back to the day leading up to the bloody night. We meet the Berman sisters, Ziggy and Cindy (Sadie Sink and Emily Rudd respectively), Alice (Ryan Simpkins) and Tommy (McCabe Syle) When an axe-wielding murderer starts butchering the camp residents, Cindy and Alice, while trying to escape, stumble into the cave system that runs under the camp and discover Sarah’s hand and that the only way to break the curse is to reunite the hand with her body. However, they are unable to break the curse when they realise that the body is not buried where they thought it would be. Alice, Cindy and Ziggy are killed by the cursed murderers with only Ziggy being revived thus being labeled the lone survivor. In the present day, Deena and Josh dig out the hand from where Ziggy and Cindy left it, when Deena reunites the hand with the body, she sees visions of Sarah Fiers, leading us into the third and final film.

Fear Street Part 3: 1666

1666, the year it all started. We see the events play out leading up to the hanging. Deena is inside Sarah’s body, seeing and experiencing her life as if it were own. We learn that it was never Sarah’s curse, but in fact it was the Goodes who had made a deal with the devil, securing power for themselves (their descendants are the mayor and sheriff in 1994) Sarah Fiers was just the scapegoat. Every time someone saw a vision of Sarah, she was trying to show them the truth and un-dead killers hunted them to keep them from exposing it.

The films work individually but their impact really hits home once you’ve watched all 3. Leigh Janiak crafts such an intricate story and links 3 time periods, weaving them through each other seamlessly. With 3 films, she also has the time to invest in these different time periods and the characters that inhabit them.

The story, both in terms of individual films as well as the trilogy as a whole, is engaging and engrossing. It keeps the audience on their toes and the edge of their seats, waiting and dreading as the bodies pile up. Janiak also grounds the story so that it feels real even as the characters are fighting off un-dead killers, adding to the nail-biting tension.

There’s plenty to admire for a horror film buff, from the Scream reference in 1994, to Friday the 13th in 1978 and The Witch (or VVitch) in 1666. There’s also a good amount of gore to be found along with some really inventive ways of killing, who knew bread cutters/slicers could be so menacing.

There’s so much attention to detail in terms of costume and production design that you really feel like you’re in 1994, 1978 or even 1666. All of these work to draw you in as the viewer, adding to the authenticity on screen. The clothes and places feel lived-in. The song choices are amazing with popular hits from 1994 and 1978, the soundtrack definitely elevates the visuals. The original score in 1666 was absolutely gorgeous, especially Deena and Sam’s theme.

The sequence of the films with 1994 being the first, followed by 1978 and finally 1666 was a great choice with each film revealing a little more of the puzzle till all the pieces are revealed in 1666. It keeps the tension alive and keeps the characters and the audience constantly guessing. It also allows Janiak to sprinkle just enough subtle clues that become apparent when rewatching the films.

The characters are one of the best things in the trilogy, they are so well written, and I mean that for almost all of the main cast which is rare. One of the best things that Janiak does is repeat actors, especially the principle cast. For instance, a lot of actors we see in 1994 and 1978 appear in 1666 playing different roles but with a similar dynamic. It helps tell the story without worrying about too many new faces and worrying about whether or not the audience will be able to keep track of them. The return of old faces also ensures that the audience is already a little invested in them and their well-being.

Small side-note: I really appreciated that there was no sexual violence. It always worries me when I start a horror show/film and it was such a relief that they did not go that route. There is a lot of violence and a lot of people and kids die but it’s always just slightly campy enough that keeps it from being genuinely disturbing.

One of the things that always irk me with slasher films (especially the old ones) are how white they were, no characters of colour and if there were any, they always died. There were also no queer characters. Fear Street undoes that beautifully, all of our main characters are outsiders, they are people of colour, they are queer. In another film, they would have been nameless characters, among the first to die. Here they are the heroes. I loved all of them and I hated that Alice, Kate and Simon died, to be honest, I expected the core group to survive, Kate especially.

Fear Street is also unapologetically feminist and Janiak does this without it being too obvious. The central conflicts in the story are between women (sister/ friends/ ex-girlfriends) but they also band together and fight for each other. It’s worth noting that most of the core relationships are between women (Deena-Sam, Ziggy-Cindy-Alice, Sarah-Hannah) and those are not coincidences.

I loved how gay this trilogy was, Deena and Sam’s love for each other was the driving force and was at the heart of the story. Even in 1666, Sarah’s crime was not so much witchcraft as it was daring to love someone you’re not supposed to and fighting back against the proprietary nature of the men who sought to control them. Sarah and Hannah loved each other fiercely and we see that same love reflected hundreds of years later in Deena and Sam who fight for each other relentlessly. I also appreciated that Deena and Sam were exes instead of a new relationship. It meant that they already had history, they shared a familiarity and comfort with each other that a new relationship would have had to build onscreen.

The Fear Street Trilogy is one of the best horror trilogies I’ve seen in a while, each film is consistently great and delivers gore and violence coupled with immense heart. It has one of the best queer relationships I’ve seen on screen and spoiler alert, they get a happy ending. I’m sick and tired of lesbian women dying or separating because of realism. Damn realism, give me happy women loving women and who live through their traumatic ordeal. Watch Fear Street for them if for nothing else. Now excuse me as I prepare to rewatch the trilogy.

She has been Portrayed by Bonita Granville (1938–39 films), Pamela Sue Martin (1977 TV series) who is my favorite Nancy Drew. Janet Louise Johnson (1977 TV series), Tracy Ryan (1995 TV series), Maggie Lawson (2002 TV film), Emma Roberts (2007 film) Emma was a great Nancy. Sophia Lillis (2019 film)  sadly she is my least favorite Nancy Drew and Kennedy McMann (2019 TV series) they could have done so much better with her character to make her seem more like the original Nancy Drew.

so i watchhed goosebumps the movie yeah i know im late and i have to admit that i enjoyed it more than i thougt what suprised me the most was that the main protagonist was played by the same actor of 13 reason why and his love interest is also named hannah which is a weird coincidence but at least in this universe she still lived and i was reall the jokes and the real rl stine cameo honestly is one of the best (horror if we can call it that) that ive been frighted with.

Goosebumps Board Game Idea

Idk why I thought of this but why not, every time I look up Kickstarter I see a new old movie getting a board game so why not the GB franchise? 

Main Contents:

- Board

- 16 Character Pieces

- 16 Character Profile Cards

- #? of Key Item Cards

- #? of “Twist Ending” Cards

- At least to sets of Dice

At the minimum I think it’d need two players, with a maximum of Six(Maybe Eight?). The basic premise is that you either play a Goosebumps Antagonist or Protagonist, and face each other off on a “Map” aka the Board(which will be based on a GB Location). 

You use Dice to move around and search the Map for items to use, with a limited inventory of course, and certain items will be necessary one side or the other to win. And if you read the list you understand that the Stine “Twists” are a core mechanic. For more detail read beyond the read more.

Board:

The Game Board will be based on a GB location, though they can often be expanded upon. For instance, for the Base Game the Board would be based on Dark Falls and include the iconic Dead House and even the Plastic Factory. However, more would be added to it like a Library, school, and what not that may act as references for the other books. For the base Game I also think it’d be cool if the Board was double sided and included Fever Swamp as an alternative location, with maybe a greenhouse and farm added to it.

Dice:

There would be at least to sets of Dice, one for movement and the other for actions. Both would be used fairly frequently. The movement dice are standard numbered dice, but I think the action dice would have Halloween Iconography like skulls, spiders, and snakes printed on them. 

Characters

The Base Game would be based on the Classic GB run, and while you can only play half of them at the minimum you actually have Eight options for either side you want to play: so in total there are 16 character options for the base game. IDK if we can afford miniatures, but other GB games used Die-cut Game Board pieces and I think those would work the best.

For the Base game characters I still had a hard time and had to make major cuts(which I’ll try to amend a bit later as you’ll see), but I think the options I provided offer a decent selection based on how GB itself has marketed it’s characters in the past.

Below I’ll list the character and the reason I picked them.

The Protagonists:

1. Carly Beth Caldwell: Of all GB protags she’s the one everyone remembers, and the one almost everyone likes. Mask or no Mask, I think she’s the only protag that can rival slappy as an iconic character.

2. Lucy Dark: An example of why I didn’t go with “Kids vs Monsters,” I think her twist is fairly cool and makes her memorable enough that she fits in well with the other base game characters. 

3. Andy from Monster Blood: 1. Monster Blood is a Legacy book with so many sequels they need some representation. 2. I think it’d be funny to snub Evan for Andy. and 3. I want to make her breaking and entering skills a game mechanic.

4. Margaret Brewer: A fairly interesting protag in her own right, I think she’d make a great fit for the cast.

5. Grady Tucker: While Will is more of an icon, as I’ll explain in his section, I also realized that Andy & Sara-Beth, Margaret & the Brewer Clone, were felt lopsided. And since Fever Swamp is a probable map, it’s been revisited as a comic, and GB is ALL about werewolves. Why not. He and Will complete the Protag/Antag pair trifecta.

6. Jack Johnson: A surprise pick but I think we need to recognize some books that never got much attention from the original run. And he can fly, so why shouldn’t he be here?

7. Hannah Fairchild: Dead but still kicking, now there’s an even split between “Normal” Human GB protags and those that have something up with their physiology. The “Dead all along” twist is classic, and she even got a fairly major role in the movie so she feels appropriate for this roster.

8. Zeke Matthews: To make Andy feel more comfortable, here’s another GB best friend! Especially since the GB Musical is a thing.

The Antagonists:

1. Slappy the Dummy: Duh. Even before he stole Curly’s job he was a major icon so of course he’s in the base game.

2. Compton Dawes: I mean, his town is the base game map so I think we need some Dead House Representation. He also fills both the undead and “adult hiding something” category of our antags.

3. Sara-Beth from Monster Blood: Surprise! We needed a witch, and a female antagonist, and again, the Monster Blood books have so many damn sequels in the original run alone. She also has more of a personality than the Monster Blood, since that goop works better as an obstacle/item.

4. Dr. Brewer’s Plant Clone: Sootb is another Legacy book, and the villain is so unique I think it’d be a crime not to include him.

5. Will Blake: GB loves it’s werewolves and Fever Swamp, he got his own scene in the movie and his swamp is a map. Even before the movie whenever they made art for iconic monsters they included a werewolf.

6. A Beast from the East: Their design is fairly iconic, and they love games, I feel like they are too perfect not to include.

7. Lawn Gnomes: GB just loves them, but I also picked them for having a pretty sick game mechanic in mind for them. 

8. Ricky Beamer: What’s this? but isn’t he? Yep, he was a Protag but with his twist I think any material that includes him Post-creepification has to acknowledge the fact that he went to the dark side like the nerd he is. And since we’re basing this off the classic books, the Horrortown version is kinda moot. 

Items:

As you traverse the map you have to land on certain species, often at landmarks and what-not, to search for items in a pre-shuffled deck. You can hoard them for later use, but each item has their own mechanic. This is because the items can include things like the Haunted Mask, Spidey’s Camera, Monster Blood, The Cuckoo Clock of Doom, and even items from non-classic GB books like the Purple Peanut Butter and a Gronk. You must use these items to reach the conclusion, often dependent on what game mode you’re playing.

Twists!:

Land on a certain space, or roll a six at any point with the movement dice, and you must draw from the Twist deck and suffer the consequences of the twist. They either punish you directly, or offer different outcomes by letting you roll the action dice. Twists include finding a Blob writing your story, getting body swapped with a Bee, and even getting old by eating the wrong cookies.

Core Mechanics:

- There is a life system, where Monsters have “life points” and the protags have “Will Power” that work identically. The monsters are Dead/Disposed when their health is zero, while the Protags in game are considered “immobilized in fright” if their will power hits zero.

- You move across the map, collecting items and hoping to avoid the Twists around every corner. But how you win is dependent on what rules you play.

- One mode, where each player can only pick a character from one side(either all Antagonists or All Protags), forces everyone to play an escape game where there are 31 turns(not rounds) to complete a goal, and if the goal isn’t reached by then everyone loses. 

- Another mode, Protags vs antags, has the Protags finding “Books” and certain equipment to enchant the books to capture the Antagonists in reference to the movie.

- Or you can just go all out and collect items to try and attack everyone until you’re the last one standing. 

- You can engage with other players in 1v1s, either forcing them into fighting with certain cards or having both players agree to fight. Every character has the option to retreat but any life/will they lose cannot be regained once the dice have been rolled.

- Every character has a unique mechanic to them to spice up gameplay, based on whatever abilities or skills they’ve shown in their books. They are likely limited to one time uses, but there are twists and at least one item card that allow you a second chance to use your unique ability. I’m also considering an “End Game” period, where all special abilities are nullified and everyone has to scramble to get to accomplish their goals.

I don’t have all of them but:

- Andy’s skill in Breaking and Entering allows her to traverse the map more freely than others, especially if there are outside circumstances for why movement is restricted.

- Sara-Beth manipulates monster blood, presented by Die-cut tokens of it, and places them like traps around the map to complicate movement.

- Brewer can regenerate to regain health.

- If Margaret has an item that can be used as a weapon, she doubles any damage she rolls when using it. She can only do this to one weapon.

- Carly Beth is called something like “Symbol of Love” and any “evil item” she uses for three turns, as items like the Haunted Mask and Camera can have consequences if used to much or used at all, has it’s negative effects nullified.

- The Gnome starts off as a single being but can multiply into three gnomes, each having their own turn for three rounds. They work like three characters played by one player, but the two extra gnomes will vanish once the third round is spent. As a bonus, as it’s expected for you to spread out your gnomes, you can choose which gnome(if the place they’re at is favorable to you) remains on the board.

- Ricky can turn someone into a creep with a cookie, and control one other player’s character for three turns. However, while he can swap items he gets with this character, is safe from any damage sustained while playing this character, and can even play his own turns alongside them, the character will eventually break free and even if Ricky gets a second chance to use his ability, he cannot use it on the same person twice. Also he still has to worry about his own skin, unless it’s a two player game he has other players to worry about.

Expansions!:

I also have ideas to expand the game, without doing a sequel or whatever.

Horrorland Expansion -

New Map!: Horrorland/Panic Park - This Map is smaller, with the gimmick being if a Mirror is found, everyone has to switch on which side of the map they’re on.

New Characters: There would be eight in total(4/4 split) but I’m not 100% sure of my choices so I might take recomendations here.

- One or maybe even both of the Martin siblings, since Horrorland was THEIR book.

- Johnathan Chiller here to hunt children again.

- Byron for Horror Rep

- Maybe Murder the Clown since the GB brand is weirdly trying to squeeze him into their icons like he was always there.

2000s Expansion 

New Map!: Suburbia, but under the invasion of the Body Squeezers. At one point everyone will enter the ship which constitutes as the other side of the map.  Another smaller map, however the halfway point leads to the players all being “abducted” and taken to the other side of the map.  

- All characters here come from the 2000s Series.

- I am open to suggestions for Protags. 

- For the Antagonists I picked: A Body Squeezer(duh), Mrs. Maargh, Mary Ellen, and The Haunted Car.

Icon Expansion-

 - No map, just more characters to play! I did mention having to make some hard cuts before.

Protagonists:

- Evan Ross

- Skipper Matthews

- Courtney King

- Gabe Sabry

- Sheena Deep

- Keith

Antagonists:

- Curly the Skeleton

- Countess Yvonne & Fifi

- The Masked Mutant

- The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena

- Prince Khor-ru

- Tara Webster

Norwegian / old norse names and places

Every now and then I come across a book, movie, TV-series, fanfic, game or whatever, that mention a fictional "Norwegian" or "norse" place or person, and it just sounds so wrong it makes me either cringe or ROFL. Really. I still haven't recovered from the 1995 X-files episode, "Død Kalm", which took us to the port of "Tildeskan" where we met "Henry Trondheim", "Halverson" and "Olafsson".  Hopefully this list will keep others from being that “creative” with names. :)

Common names for places, towns and villages in Norway

These names are very generic and suitable for a place, village or town anywhere (and pretty much any time) in Norway. Mix and match prefixes with suffixes for diversity.  Bonus: All of these can also be used as surnames. Name (meaning) - usage

Nes (headland, cape, ness) - Standalone ​ Bø (fenced-in field on a farm) - Standalone Fjell (mountain) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Fjell- / -fjell Haug (small hill / large mound)  -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Haug- / -haug Vik, Viken, Vika (inlet, the inlet, the inlet) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Vik- / -viken / -vika Ås, Åsen (hill, the hill (larger than "Bakken")) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Dal, Dalen (valley, the valley) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Berg (small mountain) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Berg(s)- / -berg Sand (sand) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Sand- / -sand Strand (beach) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Strand- / -strand Li (hill) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Li- / -li Gran (spruce) -  Standalone or prefix: Gran- Bratt (steep) - prefix only: Bratt- Myr (bog, mire) - prefix only: Myr- Neset, Nesset (the headland, the cape, the ness) - Standalone or suffix: ​-neset / -nesset Odden (foreland, headland) - Standalone or suffix: ​ -odden Våg (cove, bay) - Standalone or suffix: -våg Lund (grove) - Standalone or suffix: -lund Sund (sound, strait) -  Standalone or suffix:  -sund Skog (forest) prefix/suffix: Skog- / -skog Øy (island) prefix/suffix: Øy- / -øy øya (the island) - suffix only: ​ -øya bakken  (the hill) - suffix only: -bakken  gard / gård / gården (farm / farm / the farm) - suffix only: -gard / -gård / -gården elv, -elva (river, the river) suffix only: -elv / -elva stad (old word for town/place) suffix only: -stad vannet (the lake) - suffix only: -vannet

Common words that can be used as prefix to any of the suffixes above Svart- (black)  Lille- (little/small)  Sol- (sun)  Brei-/Bred- (wide)  Stor- (big) Lang- (long)

Common Norwegian surnames (contemporary)

Heredatory surnames didn't become mandatory in Norway until 1923. Many took the name from the farm or place they lived, or just changed their primary patronyms into hereditary patronyms. Example: Helgessønn/Helgesdatter (son of Helge / daughter of Helge) became Helgesen.

Names usage Double names, like Ragnhild Johanne or Ole Martin are common in Norway. Just keep them as two names and don't use "-", and you'll be safe, even if it ends up a tongue twister. Using only one of two given names is also common practice.

In Norway everyone is on a first name basis. Students call teachers and other kids' parents by their first name, workers call their boss by their first name, we call our Prime Minister by her first name (journalists will use her title when speaking to her though). Some senior citizens still use surnames and titles when speaking of or to  people their own age.

There are some exceptions. For example, a doctor may be referred to as Dr. Lastname when we speak of them, but first name is used when speaking to them. A priest is "the priest" when speaking of him/her and their first name is used when spaking to them. In the millitary only surnames (and ranks) are used. If you meet Harald, the King of Norway, in an official setting you will refer to him as "Kongen" (the king). If you run into him at the gas station, or while hiking, he is "Harald".

If you don't know someone's name it is okay to use their title, or just say "you".

Names for pets (contemporary)

Dogs Laika (f) Bamse (m) (bear) Tinka (f) Loke/Loki (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cats Melis (m/f) (powdered sugar) Mango (m/f) (mango) Pus (f) (kitty) Mons (m) (tomcat) Nala (f) Pusur (m) (Garfield) Felix (m)  Simba (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Horses Pajazz (m) Mulan (f) Balder (m) - cold blood Kompis (m) (pal) Freya (f) - cold blood + characters from TV/film/books...

Rabbits Trampe (m) (Thumper) Trulte (f) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cows (yes, I am serious) Dagros Rosa Mira Luna Sara + characters from TV/film - Disney is popular, as are the Kardashians :)

Road and street names

Storgata (usually the main street) Kongens gate (the king's street) Dronningens gate (the queen's street) Jernbanegata (railroad street) Jernbaneveien (railroad road) Sjøgata (ocean street) Sjøveien, Sjøvegen (ocean road) Skolegata (school street) Torvgata (plaza street) Industrigata (industrial street) Industriveien (industrial road)

Prefixes Blåbær- (blueberry) Bringebær- (raspberry) Bjørke- (birch) Aspe- (asp) Kastanje- (chestnut) Solsikke- (sun flower) Blåklokke- (blue bell) Nype- (rosehip) Kirke- (church) Park- (park)

Suffixes -veien, -vegen (the road)  -stien (the path)

Other Torvet (the plaza) - standalone or suffix: -torvet Havna (the port) - standalone or suffix: -havna Kaia (the port) - standalone or suffix: -kaia

Safe solution: use a first name or surname as prefix.

Bynames Bynames, or nicknames, could be neutral, praising or condescending. Usually bynames described a person's

body, bodyparts, bodily features

age

kinship and descent

territorial origin

knowledge, belief, spirituality

clothing, armour

occupation, social position

nature

Examples: Eirik Blodøks (Eirik Blood-Axe), Gammel-Anna (old Anna), Halte-Ása (limping Ása). I suggest that you stick with English for bynames, or use (relatively) modern language if you are writing in Norwegian. 

Surnames

Surnames weren't really a thing until 1923 when they became mandatory. Before 1923 patronyms (son/daughter of) were used, and the name of the farm you lived on was often added as an address. 

For instance: Helgi Eiriksøn (Helgi, son of Eirik), who lived at the farm called Vollr (grass field), would be called Helgi Eiriksøn Vollr. If he moved to the farm called Haugr his name would change to Helgi Eiriksøn Haugr.

Patronyms

Men: Use father's first name and add -sen /-son /-sønn Women: Use father's first name and add -dotter / -dottir / -datter

Farm names

Farm names were usually relevant and derived from either the location, a nearby landmark, nature or from occupation.  I suggest you stick with the modern forms for farm names.

Old Norse (meaning) - modern Bekkr (stream) - Bekk, Bekken Dalr (valley) - Dal, Dahl Horn (horn) - Horn Vollr (field) - Vold, Volden Lundr (grove) - Lund

The list of common names for places/villages/towns is still valid, although the spelling is modern. Just keep it simple and make "clever" combos based on meaning.

Jack Black is Back for GOOSEBUMPS 2

New Post has been published on https://nofspodcast.com/jack-black-back-goosebumps-2/

Jack Black is Back for GOOSEBUMPS 2

2015’s family-friendly horror movie Goosebumps was a hit with both nostalgic adults and their creepy kids, but until now it was unclear if Jack Black would be returning for the 2018 sequel. Whether because of scheduling conflicts or Sony wanting to cut costs, a Goosebumps 2 without Black reviving his role as author R.L. Stine would be truly scary – but fear not! He should be included in the film according to the most recent reports.

The film is set to be directed by Ari Sandel (When We First Met, The Duff, and Oscar-winning short West Bank Story) and will begin production early this year in Atlanta. Two different scripts were in development, one of them written by Rob Lieber (Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day). Both scripts are based on concepts from the spooky anthology children’s series, but one features the character of R.L. Stine and the other does not; Jack Black’s new availability may be the reason that what was previously anticipated as Goosebumps: Horrorland will now more likely be Goosebumps: Slappy’s Revenge.

The original Goosebumps stars Black in a delightfully quirky yet somehow reserved performance as R.L. Stine, the curmudgeonly author with a heart of gold. Black also provides the voice of the wacky main antagonist Slappy the Dummy. The movie features numerous monsters straight from the book series, including The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, and vengeful Lawn Gnomes. In the movie they are accidentally set free by the author’s daughter Hannah and her friends Zach and Champ, played by Odeya Rush, Dylan Minette, and Ryan Lee. There is no word yet if the younger actors will be returning for the sequel.

Viewer beware, you are in for a scare! Goosebumps 2 is currently scheduled to come out on October 12th, just in time for Halloween.

Epic Movie (Re)Watch #125 - Goosebumps

Spoilers below.

Have I seen it before: Yes

Did I like it then: Yes.

Do I remember it: Yes.

Did I see it in theaters: Yes.

Was it a movie I saw since August 22nd, 2009: Yes. #381.

Format: Blu-ray

1) I’m going to be honest and face the wrath from all my peers: I never got into the old “Goosebumps” TV show. I scared really easily as a child (still do) and the show just freaked me the heck out. However, that doesn’t mean I am unable to appreciate its influence on this film.

2) The relationship between Zach and his mom is refreshingly healthy, a nice change of pace from the usual “ugh mom” teenager stuff we see in movies. Immediately their relationship is established through strong writing, chemistry between actors, and the playfulness between the two of them these feed into.

3) I do love Jillian Bell but damn if her character is not just so (purposefully) painfully awkward.

4) Jack Black as RL Stine.

R.L. Stine is the real life author of the Goosebumps book series as well as a number of other horror themed content directed at younger audiences, fictionalized for this film by Jack Black and company. Black brings a wonderful sense of crazy to the role, not like Joker craze though in that he’s out there but...I don’t know what to compare him too, actually. He just is humorously abrasive and over the top and just fits with the world of the film so well.

5) Hey look, it’s Vinnie Van Loe!

(GIF originally posted by @marshmallow-the-vampire-slayer)

6) The bromance is strong.

Champ [talking about the school dance, after knowing Zach for two minutes]: “Hey, we should go together! Not together together...although that might work.”

7) Hannah and Zach are performed interestingly enough on their own but really shine in their scenes together. Odeya Rush and Dylan Minnette have a fun sense of humor between them and great chemistry. It’s not the cliche “boy meets girl, girl is super hot and boy objectifies her.” They actually like each other as PEOPLE! What a radical idea, right!?

The ferris wheel scene where Zach tells Hannah about his late father is also a really nice moment of honesty between the two that makes you understand that they actually really trust each other.

8) Where this film really shines is in its quirky sense of humor. Black as Stine is a perfect example of this, but also characters like Champ and Madison’s police officers are all fun in their own little ways that adds a nice tone to the film.

9) Honestly, can the “my totally trustworthy kid is saying something weird so I don’t believe them,” trope die already? It’s so lazy.

10) Is this cuckoo clock from a book I don’t know about?

11) This right here is why I was never into the Goosebumps stuff as a kid.

Champ: “These aren’t ‘kids books!’ Kids books help you fall asleep at night, these books will keep you up.”

12) The entire idea of each Goosebumps book holding that book’s main monster is such a clever and interesting idea to me. I think it is one of the plot elements which makes the film work as smoothly as it does.

13) The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena is a great first monster to introduce us to, because it is able to be both fun and - when necessary - threatening to our young protagonists.

14) Ryan Lee as Champ is honestly one of the funniest parts of this film. He has some of the best lines.

Champ [upon viewing the snowman’s scratch marks on the wall]: “Do you see the scratches in the wall?”

Zach [looking at Champ like he’s an idiot]: “Yes.”

Champ: “Okay. Just checking.”

[A soda bottle rolls out of nowhere, Champ screams.]

Zach: “Did you scream?”

Champ: “Don’t judge me.”

15) This may be the funniest part of the whole movie for me.

Zach: You're him aren't you? You're R.L. Stine.

Stine: R, L, who? I don't know who that is.

Zach: Oh really? Just as well cause his books suck.

Hannah [terrified]: What are you doing?

Zach: I can't decide which I hate more, 'Monster Blood' or 'Go Eat Worms'.

Champ: I'm so confused

Zach: You see the endings coming from a mile away, its like, stop trying to be Stephen King man...

Stine: [slams on the brakes] Let me tell you something about Steve King. Steve King WISHES he could write like me. And I've sold way more books than him, but no one ever talks about THAT!

Everything about it works for me. How easily Zach is able to manipulate Stine, and of course Black’s blow up at the end. It makes me laugh every time.

16) Slappy!

Slappy is a great villain for a number of reasons. To start, he’s definitely the scariest character from the stories. Even I know who Slappy is and I never watched or read a book. Secondly, those are some great practical effects in an age of digital cinema. It’s simple but totally captivating and you never once feel like you’re watching a prop character. Thirdly is the fact that Jack Black voice Slappy in addition to his portrayal of RL Stine. It creates an interesting duality to the character’s, as Stine did give Slappy his voice when writing him. He’s creepy and a true menace to our heroes.

17) Going to be totally honest: the main reason my mother saw this film with me in theaters was because she has a weird taste for garden gnomes.

I ended up sitting through Gnomeo & Juliet for the same reason.

18) I have so many quips of dialogue in my notes that I loved but I watched this film two or three days ago and still haven’t posted the recap so I’m just going to focus on my favorites.

Zach [after escaping the gnomes]: Why couldn’t you have written stories about rainbows and unicorns!?

Stine: Because that doesn’t sell four hundred million copies.

Champ: Whoa. Domestic?

Stine: No, worldwide. It’s still a very impressive - shut up!

19) I’m assuming there is actually a Goosebumps book about a giant praying mantis out there.

Stine [after encountering a giant praying mantis]: I don’t ever remember writing about a giant praying mantis! [It throws up on the windshield.] Oh...now I remember.

20) The Werewolf of Fever Swamp!

The scene where Stine and company encounter the werewolf in the supermarket scene is a nice addition to the film. It’s able to keep the fun and humor which has been trademark up to this point (especially when Stine is trying to mask his scent) while there are times when the werewolf is a truly threatening and frightening creature. A nice mix of humor and horror, basically.

21) Man, I thought I had WAY more to say about this film but apparently I don’t.

22) The scene where Zach and Stine talk about Hannah and how she’s actually one of his creations (spoiler alert) is an incredibly well done scene from a writing standpoint. It is very honest on both parts, with Stine opening up about his loneliness in a way we have yet to see, while it touches on both his arc and the way Zach is dealing with the loss of his father. In a lot of ways it’s the emotional center of the film.

23) The way Hannah gets so excited just by BEING at a school dance (since she’s pretty much cooped up by Stine all the time) really tells you a lot about her character and is so endearing to watch.

24) All the monsters attacking the school is a scene which I’m sure gives fans of the original Goosebumps stories nerdy joy like when Spider-Man showed up in Civil War for me.

25) Oh Vinnie...

Ken Marnio’s Character (no, I don’t need to know his name) [to Zach’s Mom in a flirty way]: “We’re going to get through this.”

Zach’s Mom: “Not a good time.”

Ken Marino: “Okay.”

26) Man, the duality of Stein and Slappy in the funhouse is some heavy stuff for a Goosebumps movie.

27) Hannah’s goodbye to Zach before all of Stine’s creations (including her) are sucked into the book is actually pretty sad. She KNOWS this is coming and she wants it to happen anyway to save everyone else. She and Zach have a nice parting moment that really touches upon the friendship and chemistry they’ve formed over the past few days, and it even brought tears to the audience’s eyes when I saw it in theaters.

28) Obligatory RL Stine cameo.

Mr. Black: Hello Mr. Stine.

Stine: Hello Mr. Black!

Zach: Uh, who’s that?

Stine: He’s the new drama teacher.

I know it’s probably pretty obvious but I just want to take a second that Jack Black’s character is named after RL Stine and RL Stine’s character is named after Jack Black.

29) I’m glad they brought Hannah back. I want all these guys back in the sequel.

30) I 100% knew they were going to have a cliffhanger ending to this film, because I know a lot of the books end in that way. It’s a trademark of the series! So of course the film had to end that way.

Goosebumps is just a lot of fun, honestly! It’s akin to Jumanji for 2015 in its sense of childlike wonder and adventure but also honest/genuine danger and scares. Black is a kick to watch, the writing is surprisingly three dimensional for what could have been a simple “kids’ movie”, and the humor is spot on. Just a great piece of escapism. If you’re looking for something fun to watch tonight, go put it in.

The exhibition began when Moreno discovered 19th century botanical models while researching a Spanish historical archive, which attracted her because, as she says, “they contained the tension between the industrial and the humanity/fragility that I often research in my work.” The exhibition will be on view through April 15.
