Viewer beware..

these were good love stories

Why were the episode adaptations so much inferior to the books, bros?

>>215467812
>condense a 90 minute read into a 22 minute episode

>>215467828
I marathoned read Monster Blood and then watched the episode. The changes they made were appalling also extended the story into a two parter that has nothing to do with the books

I found several of them to be better than the books.

>>215467314 (OP)
>BORK BORK BORK BORK BORK

don't remember the episode (or any really) but this was the best book

I read over 100+ goosebumps books but the one I always think about is horrorland for some reason, and this one where at the end of the book this kid is moving away from his home but his dog is still back there when he looks (it might have died)

This one fucked me up when I was young. Just mindfuck after mindfuck.

I remember reading the one where the mc gets turned into a bee, and then almost gets fly swatted by his sister. that turned me on when i was younger, still does.

DA SCARECWOW WALKS AT MIDNIGHT

For me? It's The Beast from the East. Honorable mention for Werewolf of Fever Swamp. I preferred Animorphs though. It's funny in 1st grade I was in the "behind" reading class who wasn't doing a very good job and by 4th grade I was a certified smartypants and now as an adult I'm a true 2deep4u faggot when it comes to literature.

>>215467314 (OP)
I just finished the summer camp one where the twist at the end is that they are on an alien planet training to go to earth and I might vaguely remember reading the book and rejecting the ending because it was too surreal to even comprehend.

But I could swear there was another summer camp goosebumps where the kids are competing against eachother constantly to get filtered and fed to a monster somewhere.

>>215468737
agreed. this one felt more sincere and didn't have the same cheesiness

>>215468783
>and this one where at the end of the book this kid is moving away from his home but his dog is still back there when he looks (it might have died)
which one was this?

>>215471257
That book's ending was totally ripped off from the Twilight Zone

>>215468737
There can only be one definitive official mascot of Goosebumps.

>>215471285
I dunno thats why I said "this one where"
hee hee

Sorry m8.

ayyyyyy

>>215471285
>>215471344
Also it may have been a cat I dunno.
Thats literally all I remember. In my head I remember conjuring up the image of the worlds hes driving down a street in the back of his parents car at sundown, the street lights not quite on yet, and he looks out the back of the window and sees (cat or dog, maybe with glowing eyes? i dunno)

thats literally all I remember about the book lol

>>215469729
>the doom slide
OH FUUUUUU

The haunted mask is awesome. Or course ive seen the show and movies, I was a huge fan and it got me into horror. I just hate that the horror fan base is god fucking awful now

You bros want to watch some of these on Halloween with me? What's that one site that we use to watch tv together?

>>215468783
>>215471285
He might be thinking of Welcome to Dead House, the first one in the series, the family's dog is turned into a zombie by the undead townspeople. After they apparently wipe out all the undead, they leave the house, but the protagonist thinks she sees the undead realtor that sold them the house there at the house selling it to another family as they drive away. In the TV episode, instead of this they retrieve their dog who was missing, and when driving away from the town the dog is revealed to be undead and they have to leave it behind, he might be conflating both of those together.

>>215471331
Excellent cover art. In fact it's probably the biggest reason Slappy wound up becoming the mascot and the star villain of the book's sequels.

>>215471562
Yep I think you're right

>>215471476
And the song was called Goosebumps.

>Excellent cover art.
You mean every single goosebumps book ever?

>>215467314 (OP)
Goosebumps never scared me as a kid, but The Nightmare Room had one episode that scared the fuck out of me
basically Shia Labeouf finds an old doll when going through his old toys and he talks about how he outgrew it, it then comes to life and tries to kill his real friends then turns him into a doll. His mom finds out in old home videos when he got the doll at his birthday party and evil magician brought it to life

>>215471562
Welcome to Dead House was the only Goosebumps book that actually scared me as a kid. A real draw-in

>Listening to episode in the background, it must be the werewolf one
>Main character is named "Larry"
Cracked me up everytime hearing them say his name. Nobody was naming their kids "Larry" in the 90s lmao.

>>215471550
Dont you have to pay for that shit to host shit

>>215471550
cytube

>>215471619
No I do not, as while it had plenty of excellent ones, there were some duds where the artist overdid the crazy perspective warps or garish colors. I'd say it's two thirds good covers.

>>215471331
Yeah I'm not saying the invisibility mirror is the Goosebumps mascot. Slappy is iconic. That book wasn't as good though.

>>215471619
They used to release three goosebumps stories in one book over here back in day as a hardcover and it would play a spooky tune when you opened the front cover. Not sure if they also did that in burgerland but it was comfy as fuck

>>215471756
kind of a lame story but top-tier cover

>>215471636
Has anyone re-read any of the goosebumps books 20 years later? did they hold up? lmao

>>215471756
I wish I had gone to camp as a kid.
Was it fun, anons?

>>215471759
>>215471798
werewolf of fever swamp and beast from the east were not only the best covers but also the best stories

>>215471636
It being the first book written meant it was somewhat longer than the average book (after the first ten or so it shifted from an average of 130 or more pages to 120 or less, that doesn't sound like a lot but in a short book it's a decent percentage) with a bit more time dedicated to building up some creepy atmosphere, and it's also a bit more gruesome in spots since the general tone of the series wasn't quite nailed down, it was a bit wackier by later on.

>>215471852
I only went once. It was karate camp. I was like 10. It was okay. Mostly nobody gave a shit about the karate, some kids got leeches from the lake, scary stories staying up until 2am at the campfire. I wasn't there for like 2 months though, it was just a weekend. If it went on and on I'm sure I would have hated it.

>>215471855
Correct on the first one, it's a good entry. Beast from the East is not really a horror story, more of a fantasy adventure, but that's probably why I reread it a lot, it was different.

>>215471962
Are you trying to say this art isn't cool as fuck?

I feel like I would have got bullied at camp because I was so quiet as a kid. They probably would have drowned me in the lake because I couldn't swim. They would have made a camp spooky story about me called the legend of the drowny downy

>>215472032
the niggas palm is literally coming from the east. I also liked egg monster from mars. Honestly wasn't the biggest fan of slappy or monster blood.

>>215472072
I think i skipped this book because I couldnt imagine who that neeger on the cover would be spooky.

>>215471787
True I read both of them and they were not good lol. I remember laughing and shaking my head by the end of the 2nd one. Just a kid sitting on the porch laughing and wondering wtf I was doing reading such a story. I had to finish it though. I miss those days of diving into books that I couldn't put down.

No, I'm saying Fever Swamp is one of the best Goosebumps stories and covers. As I said, Beast from the East is more of a fantasy book, I reread it a lot.

>>215472148
yeah, the cover and name The Werewolf of Fever Swamp. It just all came together, "I must read this". Way more than some bullshit like Welcome to Dead House or Go Eat Worms.

>>215472116
>I miss those days of diving into books that I couldn't put down.
Start reading Borges and Italo Calvino.

Ghost Beach was insane. One of the first books I read on my own that wasn't some BS childs book. The plot twist blew me away at the time.

>>215472116
>>215472224
>>215472255
seriously bros right now your can go read Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tartias or I really recommend Invisble Cities of If on a winters night a traveler. Here, I'll link The Book of Sand right now. You can read it in literally less than 5 minutes. If this doesn't give you Goosebumps you have lost the spark. Read this story right now, it will take you literally no time
https://xpressenglish.com/wp-content/uploads/Stories/Book-of-Sand.pdf

>>215472139
Dinosaur stuff was cool.

>>215472302
helll I just read it this since I linked it while watching TV. It still gives me goosbumps. Borges and Calvino are the adults Goosebumps

>>215471742
Yeah, that's the one. Thanks.

>>215467828
>a 90 minute read

>>215472587
yeah? they're pretty short

>>215472255
I read all of Ghost Beach standing at the library shelf. I hadn't read that one so I thought I'd borrow it after reading through a bit. You might ask why I didn't go find a chair but I didn't intend to read the whole thing, I was just gonna check it out.

seriously bros read Borges and Calvino. Also if you like horror specifically read Clive Barkers short stories. Here's the Yattering and Jack on on audiobook, it's a very very good story.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO4sPvcXdRE

>>215472676
I like horror a lot but I really can't get into clive barker

>>215472689
only his short stories from books of blood are good. The novels are not, really at all. The Yattering and Jack is one of my favorite short horror stories.

>>215472676
Clive Barker is great, books of blood is a great collection of stories. His shit is so gory and psychedelic and weird

>>215472709
nah, damnation game is fucking great man, and hellbound heart is one I've read multiple times because it's such an enjoyable read

All of these posts and no one mentioned the actual goat

>>215467314 (OP)
For me it's

>>215471625
This one spooked me. Also:
>the lawn gnomes episode
>the Witch age regression episode
>the giant green blob episodes
I'm not sure what to make of Goosebumps all these years later. It was dumb as fuck, chewing gum for the mind. Also unnerving. It left a lasting impact but was it even a good one?

>>215472753
Goes without saying

>>215472811
All I know is I revisit the one day at horrorland episode at least once a year when I get high because it's the most absurd shit and still makes me laugh as an adult

>>215469563
I remember this one as a kid and thinking to myself “why am I reading a book where I know everyone is getting eaten by bugs?”

>>215472715
plus he somehow did a good job directing Hellraiser while having not the slightest clue what he was doing

>>215467314 (OP)
>DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE PICTURE

>>215467314 (OP)
Only managed to find this one. I just know that I have 10-12 more lying around somewhere. Still a decent story though and the twist was good.

>>215472917
Yeah and it's one of all time favorites, even the shitty straight to DVD ones just because I like the concept and characters so much

>>215472796
Also a good two parter in the TV show, they keep quite close to the book and it has some nice atmosphere

>>215472944
Fear Street was pretty good and I remember it being more mature than Goosebumps. Goosebumps seems to have been made from the start to just be campy and simple and easily reproduceable

The Cheerleader Fear Street trilogy is sick

>>215472676
>>215472715
>Clive Barker comes swinging out of the gate with The Book of Blood as his first story
He's such a disgusting pervert, and he lays it all out immediately. I respect it, to be honest.
For whatever reason, I couldn't get myself to keep picking the book back up though. It felt like I was forcing myself. I'll have to try again. The only Barker book I've read in full is Tortured Souls.

>>215472302
>>215472676
Based Borgesposter. I've had him on my list for ages, and I'll take this as a sign to grab a book next time I'm at the library.

This was a weird fucking episode. I remember liking the book cover a lot

>>215472851
I'll probably watch that one next I haven't seen it or read the book.

>>215473015
Read that book of sand story right now. It's 5 minutes max.

>>215473045
the whole episode is fucking jokes dude

>>215472753
>>215471537

>>215473076
It was pretty good. It reminded me of a mix between the Dunsany and Clarke Ashton Smith I've read. A little whimsical, but with a creep of horror.
Thanks.

>>215472224
I’ve read calvino and borges. We’re talking about goosebumps.

>>215472637
Vastly underrated Goosebumps entry imo. It might make most peoples top 10 or top 20 but it should be top 5 or #1 easily

Ghost bumps doesn't compete.
> Couldn't even find these in library since they kept being banned.
I was lucky in the late 90s and my library was late to find out, but they did and I remember asking multiple times about them later and them saying no and thinking I just didn't remember the book title or that it was another book when it was really them not allowing that book anymore

>>215467314 (OP)
I used to watch this with my younger sister and she'd get so frightened her nipples would be hard as little rocks.

>>215467314 (OP)
>Monster blood is a better take of the blob and The stuff

How did they do it?

>>215469842
A lot of them had dark endings, or at least dark by kids show standards.

I like Chekhov’s stories, since were discuss literature. My favorites are the huntsman, the student, and a painful clerk.

>>215473702
For me it’s Tolstoy’s stories. The Devil would make an excellent psychological thriller

>>215473173
Whole show is hilarious to watch these days

I remember reading and watching my fair share of Goosebumps but nothing really distinct and vivid has stayed in my mind besides a short part of an episode. I could not remember the context but it was the kidnapped kid with the creepy old dude, this thread reminded me it had werewolves so it must be Werewolf of Fever Swamp. The exact thing was the kid talking about his parent's guns, specifically the "elephant gun". This stuck in mind because I was so fucking confused as to what that was a kid and had no internet to look it up on so I had to manually piece together info from my grandparent's book collection.

Also the book with the cover of the executioner coming down the tower stairs because I remember reading that in the hospital when I'd visit my one grandfather while he was in the hospital and he just did not give a single fuck that I was trying to get some kind of connection with him before he died. Got pissed and never finished the book.

>>215468482
Yep just a real shame they never did any of the choose your own adventure ones

Nooooo not the sticky goopy purple peanut butter...imagine being stuck in that and eaten by a woman as a joke? haha

>>215472005
This one was permanently seared into my 5 year old brain for some reason think,the part where you could find two "friends" inside the maze who secretly turn out to be werewolfs gave me nightmares for weeks

Now I think it's one of the absolute coolest ones

>>215474458
>1 minute in I hear a woman’s voice
Dropped

I had a crush on the actress who played the ghost girl as a kid. Also the only episodes that really stuck with me were the shrunken head one and the horrorland episode, they were so of their time if you know what I mean. You wouldn't be able to capture that same vibe today if you tried.

>>215474035
You didn't forget about the one with the kid who learned how to fly?

All these starter books. Try on a finisher book for size

>>215474255
yeah that was a weird one

>>215474779
>a fucking sponge

>>215468783
The one I always remembered was Werewolf Skin because the main character actually dies at the end

>>215474458
I posted this one earlier. Blew my child mind with all the twists.

>>215472993
Goosebumps was made for young kids. So yeah it's pretty simple.

I have a memory of 3 different episodes
>one that ends with the kid's parents turning around and a pair of eyes appears on the back of their heads
>one that starts on a plane and a guy goes to the bathroom and green goo comes out of the faucet
>one where a kid and his friend are running away from ants or other insects

>>215468080
disclosure. it's true then, even told kids

>>215470018

>>215469729
Had that as a kid, fucking loved it. Also had the Tower Of Terror board game, but it wasn't as fun.

>>215471331
The embossed Goosebumps logo made these books 10x cooler than they already were. I'm now nearly 40 and still have a mild obsession with embossed logos.

>>215471756
My primary school best friend had this book, and I called him a poof. I didn't know what the word Poof meant, I just thought it was the piece of furniture you put your feet on.
That cover has always made me think it's for poofs.

>>215472005
Beast From the East and the Abominable Snowman Of Pasadena feel linked in my mind. Maybe the artwork feels similar, maybe they were released close together.

>>215471798
They did in burgerland. They were predicting a snowstorm on my area as a kid and my mom got me telling me to save it for the snowstorm while school was closed.

Comfy reading it while snowing outside staying home from school.

Not sure why but my sister tore out the sound chip

Is it worth getting from ebay?

>>215471816
I've been listening to the audio book versions on Audible, by summer 2026 all of the 62 original books should be available. Been having a blast, my thoughts so far:
1 in 4 books are absolute bangers
1 in 4 books are absolute trash
the remaining half is decent but forgettable

>>215467812
See >>215467828

Some of em are good tho.

Also I saw a bunch of Goosebumps books (the original ones) ar a thrift show but didn't buy any. $2 each. Did I fuck up? I honestly want to read one of those "choose your own adventure" books again.

As for the quality of the stories [spoilers]they surprisngly held up really well. Plus they are early stories so more soul was out into them[/spoiler]

>>215485871
They only take an hour to read as an adult. They’re a fun nostalgia trip, some like Let’s Get Invisible or Haunted Mask are genuinely nice kids stories

>>215469563
I'm such a sucker for giant bug fiction

>>215485871
I disagree

>>215485952
don't get your hopes up the book isn't about giant bugs, they are in one chapter and that's it. Still a pretty good entry with a fun little twist at the end

I liked alot of the episodes but the one that left with me is the comic book obsessed kid that starts seeing things from his comic in real life, makes for a good mindfuck at the beginning

These were so good in the early 2000s my neighborhood friends and I would read these in a dark garage and then flash a strobe light type thing on the scary images and we'd legit freak

>>215484036
Bloodborne

>>215486180
Honestly a shame that FromSoft mogs the film industry so hard when it comes to horror and fantasy

>Rip the cat in the book: just a normal looking cat
>Rip the cat in the series: some weird humanoid monster with rat-like features and wings

>>215467812
To keep the ratings PG

>>215486136
>Adam West cameo
So much soul.

I remember reading this one a few days before going trick or treating and then not wanting to go anymore.

>>215483917
Present it.

>>215485666
Sure, but that's a whole different direction than looking for any physical book.

>>215487508
If I was going to collect the books I think I'd try to find the hardcover special editions, those were cool. Back in the day I had the Night of the Living Dummy one where you heard Slappy laugh when you opened it

If you never saw the shitty theater play in the 90s you aren't a real fan.

>>215487395
Series 2000 was underrated, shame it was canceled after only 25 books but it I guess kids had moved on to Harry Potter by then

>expected giant killer sharks
>instead the plot is about a mermaid or some shit
goddamnit Jacobus

>>215487739
That shit pissed me off. I'm glad that kid got snagged by a kraken at the end.

This is the best-worst cover

>reading the ventriloquist doll book
>find out 70% in that it's missing like 12 pages

my goose was bumped

>>215487827
Spooky

>>215472753
I remember having a horrible nightmare after watching that one
The part where the other masks start coming to life and chasing after her really fucked me up

>>215487739
I liked it, it was good little thriller in spite of the bait and switch cover.

>>215468737
That's not the cuckoo clock of doom.

>>215487792
found that cover terrifying as a kid, never had the guts to even read it. Later I found out it was just a silly story about a giant jelly monster that makes kids wash him

I had a couple of these CYOA books, they were alright but you can tell they were running out of ideas at this point

>>215487909
>ends with him erasing his horrible little sister from existence
so satisfying

>>215487949
I didnt enjoy these because they were always so short.

I chose the adventure that I wanted the first time, if I re-read it and choose other stuff, that really isnt my adventure anymore

>>215487949
>>215488011
>make a choice
>go to page 35
>WHAT ARE YOU THINKING YOU CAN'T DO THAT, TRY AGAIN
wtf lol

>>215488034
Did they really do that?
I dont recall.

>>215487954
Yeah, that's the reason why I like cuckoo clock, it actually has the MC standing up for himself, which is rare.

>>215488065
sometimes yeah, usually when you chose to do something really stupid

>>215488124
>usually when you chose to do something really stupid

Oh no wonder I dont remember it then.

>>215487792
>strangest cover
>most kino movie

I bought this book at a book fair because the cover was cool, it was holographic. I really hated choose your own adventure books because I was a fast reader and constantly flipping through pages was annoying. The story itself was fine, it was about kids who are on vacation in Vegas and they come across a real mummy. I think it follows them around, and the endings are when the mummy gets the kids.

best thread on /tv/

Is that nigga RL Stein dead?
Need a new revival of goosebumps mania.
The new fear street movies are shit

>>215471852
No. It's basically a place for parents to shove kids for a few weeks so they don't have to deal with them. Unless you enjoy hiking or swimming in ice cold lake water, camp sucks. Probably the worst thing about it is everything involves handholding, you're never allowed to just enjoy the woods on your own terms.

>>215474113
Trapped in bat wing hall was my favourite as a kid.

>>215488453
He's still alive, right now he's producing Goosebumps comics

>>215488597
Need Goosebumps anime for the new gen

>>215488453
If you've never haunting hour it's pretty good. The first 2 seasons are actually quite dark, it's basically goosebumps aimed towards teens.

>>215488630
oh thats interesting
never heard of it

>>215488654
It's made by RL Stine. There's a lot of episodes on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWYToNleArQ&list=PLbIkVKJZuWZYNZ7gLeuJ0LJU5bYy_8yHh

>>215472796
the only memory i have of my great grandma is reading this to me

>>215468070
Why are niggers and third worlders in general so mean and angry all the time?

>>215471852
Yes. I went to some catholic summer camp in like 5th grade, went to normal. camps 6th, 8th grade and was a counselor my junior year with another friend of mine. Some of the best times Ive ever had

>>215469864
harry potter?

>>215488630
>>215488654
>>215488688
The Haunting Hour is dope as hell, love the episode about the team mascot that eats children

>>215474727
I have no recollection of a kid learning to fly. I remembered the elephant gun thing, the dog in the intro, the shadow in the intro, and the puppet. That's pretty much it.

>>215485074
>I like da pictures!

>>215480171
>The Beast from the East
probably the best one, and scariest for me personally

For me it's the episode where the witch aunt turns the two brothers into old farts and then wants to literally pimp them to her old lady friends as husbands
truly a product of the 90s

>>215489610
They never made that book into an episode, it didn't have any horror at all but it actually was one of the best books.

>>215480177
>Chicken, Chicken
He really scraped the bottom of the barrel with this one. The ending made me roll my eyes even as a kid

>>215472005
They just wanted to chill and play tag.

>>215472139
Read Marcus Aurelius and watch the Grey.

>>215486180
>>215486585
>fur and cape physics simulator
>twigs with tentacle masses and eyes
Wooow, so scary and innovative

I like Goosebumps 2000

>>215490719
why does chicken chicken make people seethe so much? it really isnt that different to the rest

>>215469736
>when Han Solo was getting tortured and the only thing you can hear is him wailing in agony
Gave me a boner as a kid so...no

Whats that Goosebumps like series where a sister and brother eventually realize the farm they live in is at the edge of the apocalypse or something and they can't do anything to prevent so end up accepting their inevitable deaths at the end
That was unironically too depressing for kid horror

>>215477128
I'll give it a shot. I was watching the voice actors of resident evil playthrough and it was fun.

>>215490962
Being turned into a chick is not scary

>>215478580
Based Adam west cameoing in the episode.

>>215491037
>The Goosebumps-like series you are likely thinking of is The Last Kids on Earth, written by Max Brallier. The books, which are illustrated, are about a group of kids surviving a monster apocalypse

>>215491037
Scarecrow Walks at Midnight I think?

>>215484036
Skeleton key
Never here 2017.
Men.

>>215482050
This. That's why most kids comics from the golden age don't exist in high quality.

>>215482091
Yeah they're really cheap. I've seen lots on eBay to for like $5-8 dollars a book but they are also (usually) in good condition.

>>215467314 (OP)
WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF

>>215491037
>>215491085
That was the Haunting Hour, this is the episode:

>>215484273
The camping one was a two parter.

>>215490962
because it sucks

>>215487827
Just find a pdf. Pretty sure they're all on archive.org

>>215488453
He's still around. He actually did some Garbage Pail Kids books. I have them but I'm slowly going through the GPK comics.

If you like this, Blake holsey high was a boarding school with xfiles mixed in. Part Buffy with the kids trying to explore the mysterious of some industrial mega corporation nearby.

IIIIIIII'M HUNGRYYYYYYYYYYY

>>215467314 (OP)
>Viewer beware..
I’m gonna slap your derrière

>>215491147
Yep, that's it.
It's quite high concept and depressing for literal kid horror
Funny how they made two endings for it and BOTH end with the sister dead/gone and the brother alone on an empty, still world

>>215491134
Thanks for the recs, these look interesting

>>215491316
watch the new pet semetary movie. The only down side is that the new jed could never compare to the original actor and it excludes Billy Baterman, but the twist is better than the original story and both endings are suicide fuel depressing

>>215491222
>had collection of garbage pail kids
>got rid of them during my foolish move on adolescent period
>had collection of Pokémon cards
>leave them outside one night stolen forever
>had collection of yugioh cards, biggest collection
>give them to nephew like an idiot
>get bent but stay in family until he doesn't really want them
>without me knowing dad gives them to female coworkers son, mainly because he gets a stiffy "cheating" in weird ways like that
>find out 2 years later when I ask where they went, he acts like it wasn't a weird thing to do "you didn't want them anyways"
I just wanted to show them to my woman's younger siblings because they were old enough and they loved drawing their own monsters on cardstock cards which is something I did alot as a kid

>>215492363
>this pathetic greentext
>painfully avoids saying "my wife's son"
nigga....

>>215492244
isn't that the one that ends with the dad on the car and the zombified wife/kid asking for him so he joins them

>owned like 15 goosebumps books as a kid
>sold them all to a used book store over 15 years ago
why

I'd kill for those books right now to relive my childhood

>>215493103
the alternate ending is way more fucking depressing only the toddler is left alive trapped in the car as the others surround in and start breaking in

>>215491259
Yo, SpongeBob be playin’ too much!

>>215492363
Scalper/Speculation "chads" ruined everything. It's just printed paper, in worse quality of what we can print today. But people have to ask tons of money for that stuff now.

I just started watching the first season on Tubi

what am I in for?

>>215493129
I found beast from the east and scary stories to tell in the dark and it was a time capsule.

>>215494227
A subpar children's show.

>>215485074
Agreed
the appeal of goosebumps was always the covers and the cool raised logo

>>215494451
:(

>>215468080
Goosebumps wasn't scary

What is the horror tv show that had a boogie man show up and atrack his bullies on a swing set? It was in the 90s.

>>215467314 (OP)
BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK

Hell yeah threads still going. Anyone remember this show?

>>215495554
Yes and it only lated one season which is a shame. Also, the crow with the eyeball in it's mouth was creepy

>>215476712
that's because midges are monsters

>>215467314 (OP)
Wow these thread is still up

Also, picrel is scariest book, especially because protagonist actually 'dies' in it

thread still up and going

The best book was Calling All Creeps because of the power fantasy at the end.
>the world becomes enslaved by the protag
so fucking based

>>215467314 (OP)
spooke doge

>>215469842
>>215474277
My Best Friend is invisible probably has the darkest ending

>>215495278
There's the Shadow Man episode of first Twilight Zone revival, but that was the 80s.

>>215495779
awesome cover

Anyone remember the Goosebumps fan website "The Bumps" from the 90s? O ised to go on there to read write ups of the books and episodes and Goosebumps related news. It was created by none other than the eunuch from CNN when he was a kid

>>215497067
It might be 80s, they never show his figure. It is just him looming over the kid after he conjurs him up to scare the other kids and it gets him instead.

>>215494227
A scare

>>215495911
This is the best one. The incel becomes the arch-chud and destroys the world

>>215489074
Jealousy. And you would be grumpy too if you had to live in those places
