LOL, omg right? The bit where Charlie dreams he’s being sent to hell literally fucked me up as a kid. I had no idea what was going on there, but I wanted no part of that. I used to close my eyes when that part came on screen. 10/10, would let Don Bluth traumatize me as a child again.
Edited to add: I love how the studio execs changed a the tommy gun into a “ray” gun, because that was too scary, but literally let Bluth send the MC to a fully artistically realized hell for an entire scene…
I feel like I remember the TV show more than I remember the books. My sister had a ton of them, though. I do remember having a couple of those “choose your own adventure” ones that I got from the school book fair which were pretty neat. IIRC, there’s one where the kids are turned into dogs or maybe its the other way around. That entire series was a trip. I don’t know what brand of spray paint Stine was huffing in the '90’s but he sure was hitting it hard.
No love for All Dogs Go To Heaven? Literally wore that tape out when I was a kid and we had to get another.
The whole series is over on webtoon. It’s delightfully wholesome and ironic, with a dash of mid-2000’s nostalgia.
