[[WMG: IDW's ''Secrets Of the Swamp'' will feature the return of characters from the first ''Fever Swamp'' book.]]
* As the comic suggests, Will Blake was just one of a clan of werewolves living in the swamp. Both he and Grady will show up to help fight off the werewolf hunters, having made amends for Will's actions. And on that note, Cassie O Rourke will appear as well, but as one of the antagonists. It turns out finding both her friends became savage wolf creatures drove her fascination with Werewolves into fanatical hatred, and she's since joined the hunters in a bid to purge Fever Swamp of the creatures for good.

More or less the same things that happend in the main Goosebumps univers happend there, too, but they happend much later and some (like, The Haunted Mask II) didn't happen at all. Some of the reprints share this universe, like the version of The Cuckoo Clock of Doom where the year that gets erased is 1998 instead of 1988.

*[[WMG: Should the comics continue, we'll eventually get appearances of past protagonists as adults.]]
*Since this series seems to mostly take place in the 2000s/2010s,(while the original series is in the 90s) it'd be an interesting opportunity to find out what just happened to these kids and how their supernatural experiences have affected them as adults.
** Carly-Beth is now a child psychologist who examines kids with anger issues and personality disorders.
** Billy and Sheena are renowned marine biologists who founded the "Deep Foundation", which seeks to protect endangered and rare sea-life from threats both man-made and supernatural.
** Skipper Matthews still has his Elasticity powers and puts them to use as a private detective, because he's aware there are worse things than the Masked Mutant out there.
** Evan and Andy are a married couple and will usually pop up as RecurringExtras, with Evan still frustrated that no one believes his Monster Blood stories.
** Ricky Beamer, thanks to his newfound power, has become the CEO of a seemingly charitable organization that takes in homeless youth, but in truth this is a front to amass more young hosts for the Creeps to infest. He might even be the villain of a future story arc.

[[WMG: Sarabeth's family were responsible for all the Monster Blood sequels.]]
The IDW comics reveal that Sarabeth had a granddaughter named Veruca Curry whose just as skilled in animation magic as herself, and [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes still has fond memories of her Grandma.]] It's not that hard to imagine that Veruca's parents were enraged by Sarabeth's demise in the first book and worked behind the scenes to destroy Evan and Andy with the very thing that killed her.

That's why, when Hannah is pulled into the new book at the end, she turns into a cascade of ghostly sparks rather than a torrent of black ink.

[[WMG: Fans only love Andy so much because of Blogger Beware.]]
It's understandable that fans hate Evan for telling his class about the monster blood and seriously expecting them to believe it, but it seems strange that Andy doesn’t get nearly as much hate and is even one of the most adored Goosebumps characters even though she acts even more stupidly in the same book by feeding the monster blood to Cuddles the hamster after expressly promising Evan not to, not to mention her thinking the blue monster blood in the fourth book is ''cute'' and somehow forgetting that it nearly killed her and Evan in the previous books. It’s also strange how fans regularly unfairly blame Evan for continuously bringing back the monster blood and wanting to use it when it’s actually Andy who does that. Sure, she has more personality and is more fun than Evan, but there are plenty of Goosebumps best friend characters with a sense of humor and more personality than the protagonist (the first ones that come to mind are Zeke from ''Phantom of the Auditorium'' and Bird from ''Say Cheese and Die''), yet none of them get nearly as much love. So it can reasonably be chalked up to people mindlessly agreeing with all of Troy Steele's opinions, and it can also explain why Evan gets unfairly blamed for Andy's actions.

[[WMG: In ''Calling All Creeps'', Ricky Beamer was always intended to be the Creep Commander.]]
The ''real'' Creep leaders had been observing that school for some time, and concluded that Ricky would be the perfect candidate to forward their secret invasion, since they needed a fairly intelligent, yet deeply bitter and troubled kid who'd be easily swayed to the dark side. They then planted [[TheHeavy Jared, Wart, Brenda, and David]] there(who'd be far too gullible, blindly loyal, and uncharismatic to lead themselves) and encouraged them to make life as miserable as possible for him, which would lead to him doing something drastic that "ousted" him as their commander. As what happens to every place touched by the Creeps, Ricky would soon kickstart the school's assimilation into a growing army, [[UnwittingPawn all under the impression that he was their true leader.]]

[[WMG: Nick from the Horror Club in the Give Yourself Goosebumps book #3 "Trapped In Bat Wing Hall" is Nick Cave who grew up to form the band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds]]
There's no indication that the book is set in the present day (or what was the present day when the book came out), in fact there's enough TotallyRadical elements to indicate the story is set around 1980, most notably how the game that all the kids love is a late 70's/early 80's style coin-op arcade game.

Given that Hannah is more or less Stine's adopted daughter and Zach is related to Aunt Lorraine, having the two of them stay together would either force Zach and Hannah to break up or create unfortunate "kissing cousins" vibes.

[[WMG: At the end of ''The Cuckoo Clock of Doom'', Tara isn't erased from existence, instead, she's teleported to an alternate universe.]]
So in the story that we know, [[spoiler: Michael as a baby accidentally knocks of the year 1988 off the clock, making Tara cease to exist because that's her birth year.]] Well, that's according to the 1995 print of the book. According to the 2003 reprint, Tara was born in 1996. Why? That's because, at the end of the 1995 print, she is sent into an alternate universe where Mr. and Ms. Webster gave birth to a daughter in 1996 instead of 1988. At the end of that book, she is sent to ''yet another'' alternate universe where Mr. and Ms. Webster now gave birth to a daughter in ''2008'' thus explaining the events of the 2015 e-book.

Fetish Fuel is not a trope and shouldn't be linked to as one.


She fits the description of Sarah a lot better along with being perfectly opaque, unlike see-through Della. And the surface looks like clammy cold white skin more than bone. Perhaps Sarah was killed by the snake, her body dumped in the lake to hide the evidence, but whatever magic was in the lake kept her from decomposing too much and somehow her soul stayed with her body/corpse and we got what we see on the cover today. As a result, she'll either be NightmareFuel or FetishFuel or perhaps just CreepySexy/UglyCute in her own way.

When Stine, Hannah, and the other two [[spoiler:run out the Funhouse]], Stine mentions that it's "The Blob that Ate Everything". For hardcore fans of Goosebumps, The Blob that Ate Everything has a face, which leads fans to mention that the monster Stine faces, is Monsterblood.

[[WMG:Stein's typewriter, is The Haunted Typewriter]]
The plot in itself is not only related to "The Blob that Ate Everything", but is also related to the intro sequence in the show that shows Stine's manuscript pages flying out of the suitcase and bringing all the fictional stories to life. Meaning that this entire plot is totally related to Goosebumps.
