Okay, so there was this TV show that I happened to be watching in the mid-90s, and I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. The only thing I remember is one episode, and it was where these kids found or purchased (or something, I can't remember clearly) toy thing, that kinda looked like Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. Long story short, it turned out to be some evil thing, and they tried putting it in the oven or something like that. But it survived, and tracked one of the kids down (don't ask how, I can't remember). Then it pretty much coated this kid in green slime that kinda hardened into a cocoon of sorts. Oh, and at one point in the episode, I seem to recall the kids tasting this slime that came out of the monster's mouth. Either that, or it was my brain getting carried away, because the damn thing creeped me out. If anyone can help me figure out what the hell that show was, and, if possible, which episode it was, I'd be really glad, because I've been looking for this show for over three years with no luck.
It sounds like it might have been Goosebumps or Are You Afraid Of The Dark or something along those lines.
It might very well be, but I can't really think of any other shows like that. I checked the episode list for both Goosebumps and Are You Afraid Of The Dark, and neither one of them had an episode similar to that, so I dunno. :/
Oh jeez. I found it. It's an episode of Ghostwriter called "Attack of the Slime Monster." And the slime monster is purple, not green. And it doesn't look like Oscar the Grouch. I guess my memory kinda failed there. Now that I'm watching the episode though, I'm wondering why I didn't have nightmares because of it. Seriously, this kind of thing used to scare the crap out of me.
