Why Goosebumps’ ‘Ghost Beach’ is the Perfect Underrated Episode for Spooky Season

NOTE: This article is 4 months old and may not include the most recent information.

As the Halloween season approaches, many fans of the Goosebumps series dive into its iconic episodes like The Haunted Mask or Night of the Living Dummy. However, one often overlooked gem is “Ghost Beach,” a chilling story that takes place by the sea, offering an eerie atmosphere and a plot filled with mystery. With the tragic ghost character of Louisa at its core, this episode blends spooky storytelling with emotional depth, making it a perfect watch for fans looking to discover something new this October.

In Ghost Beach, siblings Jerry and Terri visit relatives in a remote coastal town, where they encounter two mysterious children, Sam and Louisa. The pair warn Jerry and Terri about a 300-year-old ghost that supposedly haunts a cave near the beach. Intrigued by the flickering lights and eerie skeletal remains they spot in the cave, Jerry and Terri decide to investigate, setting the stage for a gripping tale of deception and fear.

What makes Ghost Beach stand out is its plot twist. As Jerry and Terri delve deeper, they meet a man named Harrison, who reveals a shocking truth: Sam and Louisa are actually the ghosts. The siblings are restless spirits from a tragic past, pilgrims who died during a harsh winter centuries ago. Their plan is to trap Jerry and Terri, ensuring they remain with them forever. The final confrontation at the cave brings the episode to a dramatic and eerie conclusion, cementing it as one of the spookier installments in the series.

While Ghost Beach introduces us to both Sam and Louisa as ghostly siblings, it’s Louisa who leaves a haunting impression. With her quiet sadness and mysterious aura, she adds an emotional layer to the episode that sets it apart from typical ghost stories. Louisa’s desire for connection—rooted in her tragic past—makes her more than just a spooky figure; she’s a character who lingers with viewers long after the episode ends. Though her brother Sam plays an integral role in the story, Louisa’s haunting presence is what truly captivates the audience, giving the episode an unexpected emotional depth.

Though Ghost Beach doesn’t enjoy the same iconic status as The Haunted Mask, its unsettling beach setting and emotionally complex ghost characters, particularly Louisa, offer a refreshing departure from the usual haunted houses and monsters. Louisa’s tragic fate as a ghost trapped by time gives the episode emotional depth, making it perfect for fans looking to explore a lesser-known but equally captivating Goosebumps story this spooky season.
