Goosebumps Special #1: Stay Out Of The Basement
Project Overview
This is a video adaptation of the Goosebumps Book, Stay Out Of The Basement. It is an adaptation, so it will have changes, but this is the main story. Every since his wife died, Dr. Becker fell into a depression, and devoted all his time into his work. His daughter, Macy, notices changes going on with him however. He spends all day in the basement, working in his lab, and warning her to stay out. One day, Dr. Becker's eldest daughter, Georgia, comes over to the house to stay the summer. She hasn't seen them since her first year of college, and since her mother died. Whenever she arrives however, Dr. Becker's tenancies escalate. He wears a baseball cap around the house to conceal his hair, he has sap coming from his wounds, he's growing mold on his face, and Macy even sees him drink an entire bottle of Bleach. Macy and Georgia need to find out what has happened to their father, and it's clear, their answers are in the basement.

Voice Actor
Macy is the 13 year old daughter to Dr. Becker. She has a good relationship with her sister, despite their 10 year age gap. She is a naturally curious person, which is why she's interested in her father's experiments and the basement. She is however, fearful of what her father has become. He's been acting a lot more cold to her, and having had a great relationship with him, is scared of this change. Also, when she sees Plant Dr. Becker displaying Plant-Like Tendencies, it freaks her out, and she confides in her sister, Georgia.

Georgia Becker is the older daughter to Macy Becker, and the first daughter to Dr. Becker. Since she's been off at college, she hasn't seen her father or daughter in 3 years, so she's excited to spend the summer with them and hopefully reconnect. When Plant Dr. Becker begins acting odd, she thinks that her facade of seeing Dr. Becker in a good light is slowly ending, but she refuses to believe that he is a bad person. She is a more fun, care free person, but also knows the limits she needs to abide by.

Voice Actor
Margaret Becker isn't a big player in this story, and she's only shown in flashbacks, as she's dead. In flashbacks however, she is a caring mother, but is also overworked and tired. She loves her kids, but can get very tired from her day job. We see flashbacks of when she dies as well.
