He usually sends the kids off with a gift. But the gifts are not always nice. In The Wizard Of Ooze (Goosebumps Horrorland), Marco Gonzales and his friend Gabriella Smith visit Horrorland. After a nice time at the theme park, Marco visits Chiller’s shop. He is delighted to find a rare copy of a Wizard of Ooze comic, Chiller gives him the comic book as a gift.
