Goosebumps: The Blob That Ate Everyone is comprised of three different scary tales, The Blob that Ate Everyone, Piano Lessons Can Be Murder, and My Hairiest Adventure. The Blob That Ate Everyone starts with a box of worms, which is a cute little reference to the Goosebumps: Go Eat Worms episode. The box of worms is part of a story that Zack (Scott Pietrangelo), who wants to be a horror writer, is telling to his friend Alex (Gabrielle Boni). The next day, while exploring a seemingly abandoned store, Zack finds an old typewriter that he falls in love with. When he touches it, he receives a mild shock. The owner of the store tells him that he can have it if he promises to write a really scary story with it. Zack is thrilled as it is the perfect typewriter for him.
That night, Zack and Alex are hanging out in Zack's room and Zack decides to write a new story. As soon as he starts typing though, everything that he types starts to happen. First he brings in a storm and even brings another friend, Adam (Bradie Whetham), over to the house, leaving him standing in the rain on the porch with no clue as to why he was visiting. Alex is convinced of the typewriter's power, but Zack is not, especially when Adam types on it and nothing happens. Since he's not convinced of the power, Zack continues to type and unleashes the blob on the city! He and Alex will have to figure out how to stop it before the entire city is eaten!
In Piano Lessons Can Be Murder, Jerry Hawkins (Ben Cook) and his family move into a new house where a piano teacher used to live. While playing in the basement, Jerry finds a piano that was apparently left behind. This is no ordinary piano though, as it plays by itself. Unknown to Jerry, a ghost is actually playing the piano. Jerry's dad (Barclay Hope) wants to restore the piano with Jerry, to give him a project. That afternoon Jerry meets Kim (Erica Luttrell), who informs Jerry that his house used to belong to a piano teacher and asks if he plays and if he wants to jam with her. Jerry says yes and then goes and begs his parents for piano lessons. The piano teacher turns out to be a very creepy man, Dr. Shreek (Aron Tager). These lessons might turn out to be more demanding than Jerry will be able to survive!
My Hairiest Adventure starts with poor Larry (Aaron Bartkiw) being chased by all the neighborhood dogs. It's odd though as these dogs are normal family pets, not the type you'd expect to see chasing a teenage boy. Luckily, Lily (Courtney Greig), Larry's best friend, shows up and runs them off. She always wears a coin and has one blue eye and one brown eye. Larry and Lily are in a band with their friends Jared (Joshua Wittig) and Manny (Mauricio Rodas). They all practice in the garage of an empty house. That day at practice, they find a bottle of instant tan lotion in a garage and rub it on somewhere on their bodies. That night, Larry grows hair all over his hand. The next day, one of the other guys, Manny, has suddenly moved away with no warning. After Lily disappears, Larry really starts to get worried and tries to unravel the mystery and solve his hairy issue!
