* AssholeVictim: Slappy sure knows how to give Tommy and Tyler their just desserts.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In ''Haunted Halloween'', Slappy is portrayed much more sympathetically than in the first movie, or any of the books. Here he only wants a family of his own and genuinely was nice to Sonny and Sam at first before they tried to kill him. He even isn't a BadBoss to Walter and seems to love his "mother". Justified, as this is an early version of Slappy, and thus is not as evil as the Slappy from the first movie or even the books.
* TheBadGuyWins: Downplayed. In the second film, the kids succeeded in stopping Slappy from destroying the city of Wardenclyffe, but he got a consolation prize in trapping Stine in a new Goosebumps book he made, finally getting his revenge for being trapped in a manuscript for so long]].

* BigCreepyCrawlies: The giant praying mantis.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goosebumps_horror_witch_hou.jpg]]
--> ''"Who is Veruca Curry? It's a simple question, with a complex answer. But please allow me to try. Veruca Curry is a thoroughly modern witch. A witch on her way up. She's not obsessed with obsolete tradition like her dearly departed grandmother, Sarabeth. [-Ugh, that choker is so dated.-] Veruca isn't just out to scare a few kids and steal some babies. No, she's channeling the magical energy from the Whaley House's foundation to amplify a very powerful spell. And, to think, that spell is stored right her on her electronic Grimoire... just a swipe away. A spell that will give Veruca control over the rest of the town! And soon enough, the whole world will see things her way!"''
The BigBad of the three-issue comic book miniseries ''Horrors of the Witch House'', Veruca is the youngest female multimillionaire to come out of Silicon Valley, as well as a WickedWitch and the granddaughter of Sarabeth, the villain of the original ''Monster Blood''. She has dark designs for the town of Beaver Creek, but faces opposition in the form of three plucky young children named Rosie, Becca, and Carlos.
* BrainyBrunette: She has shoulder-length brown hair and is an accomplished tech designer along with being a powerful witch.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For how at odds Veruca is with her grandmother's ways, she still does miss her, and even keeps a picture of Sarabeth as a cat in her study.
* EvilerThanThou: She wants to TakeOverTheWorld partly due to megalomania, and partly to show up all of the "traditionalist" witches (like her grandmother) who can't be bothered to use their vast magical powers for anything more ambitious than scaring kids and stealing babies.
--> '''Veruca:''' I'll show Grandma Sarabeth! I'll show all those old hags who wouldn't update their magic-based applications and evolve their magic strategies! They can't even use smartphones!
* FauxAffablyEvil: She is outwardly quite polite and charming, even offering the kids a chance to join in on her plans while relating to their problems with adults. Make no mistake though, she's just as evil as her grandma.
* FemmeFatalons: She has long, sharp pink fingernails.
* HypnoTrinket: She uses a coin to brainwash nearly all of the adults in Beaver Creek.
* ImMelting: She dissolves into a puddle of goo after getting drenched in water, [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath in a slightly graphic fashion.]]
* KickTheDog: She tries to murder the child protagonists by turning their most cherished possessions into monsters, forcing them to destroy them.
* KillItWithWater: She melts after tripping and falling into a pail of water.
* MagiTek: She prides herself on being a "modern witch" whose Grimoire is an iPad-like device.
* TakeOverTheWorld: She intends to use the magical energy residing within {{Haunted House}}s to amplify a brainwashing spell, allowing her to take over scores of people all at once, hitting bigger and bigger targets until "the whole world will see things her way!"
* ThirdPersonPerson: During her self-gratifying slideshow.
--> '''Carlos:''' Why is she talking about herself like that?
* WeaksauceWeakness: Water.
--> '''Rosie:''' Turns out old defenses still work on modern witches.
* WeCanRuleTogether: She tries to convince the protagonists to join her, but they immediately refuse, so she orders a brainwashed mob (led by their parents) to lynch them.
* VillainousFriendship: Her online friends include Clarissa from ''Be Careful What You Wish For...'', Belladonna from ''The Five Masks of Dr. Screem'', Aunt Dahlia from "An Old Story" and Mrs. Forster from "Home Sweet Home."

The sinister mayor of Karlsville from the three-part "Chillogy" episode.
* CanonForeigner: His story is completely exclusive to the TV series.
* CorruptPolitician: Subverted. He's officially the "mayor" of Karlsville and extremely evil, but he never actually does any politicking.
* ForTheEvulz: When Todd asks Karl why he's trying to [[AndIMustScream turn him into a lifeless doll]], Karl says that he just needed a hobby.
* ImAHumanitarian: He orders the townspeople to cook Jessica for him after he turns her into a pig girl.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:He escapes the destruction of Karlsville unharmed and can't believe his luck]].
* LaughablyEvil: His idea of fun is to torment and kill kids with deadly pranks.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: As Todd screams for help, he tells him "Scream all you want my young boy, it's music to my ears."
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates Jessica into pursuing her greed, then blames her for the flaw he himself set her up to pursue, and turns her into a pig.
* PracticallyJoker: A monstrous, malicious prankster in a bad purple suit who kills people by playing lethal games with them to amuse himself. Even his name is an implicit reference to The Joker. Many times, The Joker has taken identities related to clowns, jesters and such, including such obscure references as Eric Border. A ''Knave'' is an old word for a Fool - or, alternatively...[[MonsterClown a clown]].
* RealityWarper: In Karlsville his powers have almost no limits. He transforms Jessica into a pig girl, materializes minions out of thin air, and controls even the weather in the city. Fitting, since he's basically an evil ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' character.
* WouldHurtAChild: He only seems to target children, trying to kill one in every episode.

* ArchEnemy: Is set up as one to the Morris Family and Clay, on the grounds that they were the only people to ever escape from Horrorland alive.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: In both endings of the game. He'll either succeed in turning Mr. and Mrs. Morris into Horrors, or he'll be living with them]].
* CanonForeigner: Is exclusive solely to the video game and hasn't made any other appearances in any other media.
* LargeHam: "WHO STOLE ALL MY CHOCOLATE?!"
* TheManBehindTheMan: In the game, he's the man behind Horrorland and the actual creator of the Horrors.
* {{Troll}}: [[spoiler: He dresses up as his own assistant, Stump, for no reason other than to mess with Lizzy and Luke]].
* TheWonka: A psychotic and evil version, but also a subversion. Madison's never going to be fired from Horrorland because he's the boss.

She has dark designs for the town of Beaver Creek, but faces opposition in the form of three plucky young children named Rosie, Becca, and Carlos.
* EvilerThanThou: She wants to TakeOverTheWorld partly due to megalomania, and partly to show up all of the "traditionalist" witches (like her grandmother) who can't be bothered to use their vast magical powers for anything more ambitious than scaring kids and stealing babies.
--> '''Veruca:''' I'll show Grandma Sarabeth! I'll show all those old hags who wouldn't update their magic-based applications and evolve their magic strategies! They can't even use smartphones!
* FemmeFatalons: She has long, sharp pink fingernails.
* HypnoTrinket: She uses a coin to brainwash nearly all of the adults in Beaver Creek.
* ImMelting: She dissolves into a puddle of goo after getting drenched in water, [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath in a slightly graphic fashion.]]
* KickTheDog: She tries to murder the child protagonists by turning their most cherished possessions into monsters, forcing them to destroy them.
* KillItWithWater: She melts after tripping and falling into a pail of water.
* MagiTek: She prides herself on being a "modern witch" whose Grimoire is an iPad-like device.
* TakeOverTheWorld: She intends to use the magical energy residing within {{Haunted House}}s to amplify a brainwashing spell, allowing her to take over scores of people all at once, hitting bigger and bigger targets until "the whole world will see things her way!"
* ThirdPersonPerson: During her self-gratifying slideshow.
--> '''Carlos:''' Why is she talking about herself like that?
* WeaksauceWeakness: Water.
--> '''Rosie:''' Turns out old defenses still work on modern witches.
* WeCanRuleTogether: She tries to convince the protagonists to join her, but they immediately refuse, so she orders a brainwashed mob (led by their parents) to lynch them.
* VillainousFriendship: Her online friends include Clarissa from ''Be Careful What You Wish For...'', Belladonna from ''The Five Masks of Dr. Screem'', Aunt Dahlia from "An Old Story" and Mrs. Forster from "Home Sweet Home."

!!Karl Knave
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karl_knave.png]]
The sinister mayor of Karlsville from the three-part "Chillogy" episode.
* CanonForeigner: His story is completely exclusive to the TV series.
* CorruptPolitician: Subverted. He's officially the "mayor" of Karlsville and extremely evil, but he never actually does any politicking.
* ForTheEvulz: When Todd asks Karl why he's trying to [[AndIMustScream turn him into a lifeless doll]], Karl says that he just needed a hobby.
* ImAHumanitarian: He orders the townspeople to cook Jessica for him after he turns her into a pig girl.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:He escapes the destruction of Karlsville unharmed and can't believe his luck]].
* LaughablyEvil: His idea of fun is to torment and kill kids with deadly pranks.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: As Todd screams for help, he tells him "Scream all you want my young boy, it's music to my ears."
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulates Jessica into pursuing her greed, then blames her for the flaw he himself set her up to pursue, and turns her into a pig.
* PracticallyJoker: A monstrous, malicious prankster in a bad purple suit who kills people by playing lethal games with them to amuse himself. Even his name is an implicit reference to The Joker. Many times, The Joker has taken identities related to clowns, jesters and such, including such obscure references as Eric Border. A ''Knave'' is an old word for a Fool - or, alternatively...[[MonsterClown a clown]].
* RealityWarper: In Karlsville his powers have almost no limits. He transforms Jessica into a pig girl, materializes minions out of thin air, and controls even the weather in the city. Fitting, since he's basically an evil ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' character.
* WouldHurtAChild: He only seems to target children, trying to kill one in every episode.

A villain exclusive to the ''VideoGame/EscapeFromHorrorland'' computer game, Madison is a MadScientist and in the continuity of the game he is the founder of Horrorland.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He was ignored by everybody when he was a child, even by his own parents. His reasoning for creating Horrorland is for the sake of making everybody on Earth as miserable as he is.
* ArchEnemy: Is set up as one to the Morris Family and Clay, on the grounds that they were the only people to ever escape from Horrorland alive.
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler: In both endings of the game. He'll either succeed in turning Mr. and Mrs. Morris into Horrors, or he'll be living with them]].
* CanonForeigner: Is exclusive solely to the video game and hasn't made any other appearances in any other media.

* TheManBehindTheMan: In the game, he's the man behind Horrorland and the actual creator of the Horrors.
* {{Troll}}: [[spoiler: He dresses up as his own assistant, Stump, for no reason other than to mess with Lizzy and Luke]].
* TheWonka: A psychotic and evil version, but also a subversion. Madison's never going to be fired from Horrorland because he's the boss.

!! Veruca Curry
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goosebumps_horror_witch_hou.jpg]]
--> ''"Who is Veruca Curry? It's a simple question, with a complex answer. But please allow me to try. Veruca Curry is a thoroughly modern witch. A witch on her way up. She's not obsessed with obsolete tradition like her dearly departed grandmother, Sarabeth. [-Ugh, that choker is so dated.-] Veruca isn't just out to scare a few kids and steal some babies. No, she's channeling the magical energy from the Whaley House's foundation to amplify a very powerful spell. And, to think, that spell is stored right her on her electronic Grimoire... just a swipe away. A spell that will give Veruca control over the rest of the town! And soon enough, the whole world will see things her way!"''
