The episode "Monster Blood" from the second season of Goosebumps is based on the book of the same name by R.L. Stine. The episode follows the story of Evan Ross, a young boy who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric Great Aunt Katherine in Georgia. Evan is initially excited about the prospect of spending his summer in a small town, but soon discovers that things are not as they seem.
One day while exploring the town, Evan comes across a mysterious novelty shop and decides to buy a can of green "Monster Blood" slime with his new friend, Andy. Evan begins to play with the slime, which has some unusual properties; it bounces and grows with each passing day. When Andy accidentally ingests some of the slime, he starts to grow at an alarming rate. Evan is forced to come up with a plan to stop the Monster Blood from continuing to grow, out of fear that it will consume the entire town.
Throughout the episode, Evan struggles to contain the growth of the Monster Blood. He tries everything from freezing the slime to burying it, but nothing seems to stop it from growing. To make matters worse, Evan's black cat, Trigger, ingests some of the slime and begins to grow into a terrifying giant feline. Evan realizes that the only way to stop the Monster Blood is to find and destroy the original can, which is hidden somewhere in Aunt Katherine's old house.
Evan and Andy embark on a dangerous journey through the creepy old house, facing several obstacles and evading the giant Trigger. They eventually find the can of Monster Blood and try to destroy it, but Trigger knocks over the can, causing the slime to spill out and engulf the house. Evan and Andy escape just in time, and the Monster Blood is finally destroyed.
In the end, Evan returns home and reflects on his bizarre summer adventure. He is relieved that the Monster Blood is gone, but realizes that there are other strange things in the world that he has yet to encounter. The episode ends with a sense of uncertainty about what might happen next in Evan's life.
