Tear Jerker / Goosebumps (2015)

Go To

  • Hannah joining the other monsters back in the book. And later, doubling with Heartwarming, being re-written back into reality.
  • All of the monsters, to an extent. Being frozen in a tiny prison while a world you can hear, but can't see or touch goes on around you is its own sort of hell. It doesn't justify the destruction they cause upon release, but it's easy to see why they're pissed.
    • Makes it more depressing that Stine locked them all away, so obviously they're enraged that their creator, their father, locked them away because he knew how dangerous they were.
    • It's especially the case for Slappy. He was Stine's best friend and was never said to have done anything villainous before his imprisonment. Despite this Slappy still attempted to be nice to Stine when released and only got hostile when he saw Stine trying to lock him back up. He sounds truly hurt in the funhouse at the carnival.
      Slappy: But Papa, you left without saying goodbye! Are you trying to hide from me? That's like hiding from yourself! I was your best friend, and you turned your back on me! You locked me up! Imprisoned me in the pages of a book! You stuck me on a shelf! For years, and years! The key was right there! And you never used it!
