My elementary school had this book but I never read it. I loved horror and creepy stuff at that age so I never enjoyed picture books 😅 I was already watching Chucky/Child’s Play, final destination, nightmare on elm street as a toddler. I was raised on explicit movies and music
I’m the only kid who actually liked this book not even phased EAT YOUR FLUFFING LIMA BEANZ BEFORE U TURN INTO A RAINBOW MESS and yea I was just like welp sucks for her and kept watching the read aloud
Yeah I remember this book disturbed me as a kid. Its still a bit disturbing now ngl, but much less so. Another book that scared me as a kid was something called "This book eats people" or something. Like it had caution tape as part of the cover. The idea was that theres a book that eats unsuspecting kids. It seemed like it was supposed to be silly, but that scared the crap out of little me.
I was a picky kid. Truly couldn’t not handle certain foods because of texture and strong flavors. My mom gave me this book when I was five, and boy howdy she did not understand why I started bawling after she read it to me. Very hard for a five year to articulate that I thought the book was saying I was bad because I psychologically could not eat certain foods, and that I deserved to be punished for it. That definitely wasn’t the point of the story, looking back on it, but I still get a twinge of something when I see it in a used bookstore.
This was like my favorite book as a kid lol. Then again, I was a little bit too morally ambiguous back then… Also dude I had a horrible fear of the purple minions as a kid for years, so no judgements here 😀
A book of the name "A Crash and a Bang" by John J. Pikulski always scared me, and whats worst is that its a collection of stories so alot of them were kinda scary to me
David Shannon should have been a horror novelist because his art style is kind of creepy in a good way especially the no David books like why the hell does David have shark teeth
I was scared of this book! But I also liked it...I don't know but there was something about it that fascinated me but dcared me at the same time. It was a big part of my childhood along with the" I am David" books, I didn't even know they were made by the same person! OH, Also LOVED the 2012 Turtles! they were LiTtErALLy my childhood!😂😭
God damn dude, I remember this from like fourth grade (E: What I find weird is now I'm figuring out just now that I have some fascination for other people's trauma. It's weird but I wanna see where this is going...)
I very rarely got scared of things when I was really young. The only thing I remember being scared of at the age when we read A Bad Case of Stripes was the commercials for the Goosebumps show, not the show itself or the books but the commercials. And then the school board decided to show my Kindergarten class Stranger Danger and thus began my still existent fear of real world monsters.
This randomly showed up on my recommendations and I'm glad to see others know this book. I forgot the title and wanted to find it again. Strange and creepy book but I found it pretty interesting.
Oh gosh I thought I was crazy. This book made 6 yo me TERRIFIED of being ugly & discolored to the point that I wouldn’t eat what she eats in the book (Limas I think?) and I wouldn’t eat any fruit, vegetable, candy, etc. that was a color I didn’t like for a LONGGG time. Luckily tho I stopped caring about how I was perceived when I grew up. But this book haunted me fr. It made me so scared of being an “ugly” or weird kid. Spoiler Alert to 6 yo me: Everything you think is ugly & strange to have on your body now, you will find beautiful later & even seek out. Don’t worry, you’ll be just fine 💕 Your stripes will be loved
(⚠Trigger Warning - PLEASE, DON'T READ THIS COMMENT IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO THIS KIND OF TOPIC!!!⚠) For those who don't what body horror is, body horror, or biological horror, is a subgenre of horror fiction that intentionally showcases grotesque or psychologically disturbing violations of the human body or to any other creature. These violations may manifest through aberrant sex, mutations, mutilation, zombification, gratuitous violence, disease, or unnatural movements of the body. Body horror was a description originally applied to an emerging subgenre of North American horror films, but has roots in early Gothic literature and has expanded to include other media. According to the film scholar Linda Williams, body horror falls into one of three "gross" genres or "genres of excess" which also includes pornography and melodrama. Williams writes that the success of these body genres "is often measured by the degree to which the audience sensation mimics what is seen on the screen". For example, an audience may experience feelings of terror through horror, sympathy through melodrama, or sexual arousal through pornography.[4] Body horror specifically focuses on the limits and transformative capabilities of the human body. The term "Body-horror" was first used by Phillip Brophy in his 1983 article "Horrality: The Textuality of the Contemporary Horror Film". He coined this term to describe an emerging subgenre which occurred during a short golden period for contemporary horror film. Although Brophy coined the term to specifically describe a trend within cinema, film director Stuart Gordon notes that the body horror trope had existed before its adaptation to the screen, most notably within fictional writing.
The conclusion of teens and adults no longer fearing the book might not be all as true. I was a kid who picked up the book and understood the message just fine. As an adult, I still feel urked by the artwork. There is something so uncanny about them. It's very much this type of artwork because there was a greek gods origin book where the painted cartoonish kid pictures made me uncomfortable. I let my teacher know, and she let me use a paper to cover up the pages so I could still read the book without being disturbed. But man, do I love the art even if it's disturbing. There's just another layer of appreciation now that I didn't have before.
