Goosebumps Viewer Beware You're In For A Scared. With a warning like that how could you expect not to be curious about Goosebumps."Goosebumps" is based by the book series of the same name by R.L.Stine and this is one of the few times when a show or movie based off a book does it right. Goosebumps was a very popular book series in the 1990s and R.L.Stine was consider the Stephen King of Children Horror stories and looking back he manage to create a series that grab children's attention and inspire them to read more. Also I have one Goosebumps book.Now I'll be honest I was more into the book series "Animorphs" because it story line hold my interest more. But it didn't stop me from watching Goosebumps the TV SeriesThe Intro to Goosebumps remains one of my favorites as it starts off with R.L.Stine walking in a black hat and black jacket and briefcase and a chilling piano theme that still holds up today as being creepy whoever wrote the music for the theme deserves a lot of points because it still a creative theme song even more.The episodes for Goosebumps were based off stories from the book series. A good percent of the episodes follow the story line of the books. For a children's show it still had the factor of fear. Episodes like "The Haunted Mask", "The Girl Who Cried Monster", "Night Of The Living Dummy" "Stay Out Of The Basement", "A Night In Terror Tower", "The Werewolf Of Fever Swamp", "Attack Of The Mutant","Scarecrow Walks At Midnight" "Vampire Breath", "Werewolf Skin" I could keep on listing episodes of the show but these episodes are enough to hold your attention and send a chill up your spine. Now that's something you don't expect in a series based off a children book.Goosebumps just takes what is already a horror theme story in it own right and made it very scary on TV also the theme song will get your attention to make you watch the show so give Goosebumps a shot but Beware You're In For A Scare.

For several years during the 1990s, R.L. Stine wrote and published many books in his "Goosebumps" series. I used to like to read some of these books, when I was around ten years old, and eventually, I discovered this "Goosebumps" TV show, which I enjoyed watching for a while. I eventually went off both the books and the TV series (late in 1997, when I was eleven years old), but I can't deny the fact that I was once a fan.There's not much to say about the plot of this show. Basically, all I can say about it is that the programme was an adaptation "Goosebumps" book series, so the episodes were horror stories for kids.For a while, R.L. Stine would pump out "Goosebumps" books very quickly, so quickly not all of the stories could have been that focused. This suggested that the author was money-hungry. Some of the stories you could tell were ridiculous just by the title, such as "The Blob That Ate Everyone". Since this show was an adaptation of the books, the cheesiness from the books (or at least from some of them) obviously showed here. The show may have had more problems that that (it has been too long for me to be able to tell).Some might consider episodes of this show bad adaptations of the books. For me, it's been a while, and I don't know exactly how the two compared. I don't have as much memory of the "Goosebumps" books and TV show as certain others who were fans back in the 1990s, so I can't write the most insightful review. I do, however, know that I probably wouldn't think much of the show right now (I'm not sure about some of the books). Well, the books and the show definitely deserve some credit for how many kids they entertained back in the day, but I believe that "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was a superior show.

When I was little in the years 1994 through 1998, I watched this show every single Friday afternoon and Saturday morning on the Fox Kids Network.Slappy the living dummy was always and always will be my favorite character. I cannot even begin to find words to say how much I loved him, but here goes. I loved everything about Slappy ... his adorable character design, his adorable voice and one liners, and the way he and all the other ghouls were brought to life.While Slappy the living dummy is by far the most Lovable thing about this show, the other ghouls rock too !!! They are terrifying yet G-rated enough to entertain little kids without giving them nightmares.The Special Effects of this show -- the lighting, the makeup, the mechanical creatures -- were beyond realistic and very high-budget for a kid's show.If you are looking for a great show that's cool for kids and enjoyable for adults to watch as well, check out GOOSEBUMPS on DVD.R.L.Stine is one of the best horror writers to ever walk this planet!!! Slappy is and always will be one of my childhood heroes !!! I'm now a college student of 23, but whenever I'm watching Slappy and Goosebumps , I can travel back in time ... back to four of the most memorable years of my childhood !!!

Boy do I remember it well. Every Friday when I got home from school I would watch the newest horror story from the mind of R.L. Stine. And even though all I have left are old episodes on video tapes I still find it awfully clever. My favorite will always be the one with Slappy the evil ventriloquist's dummy. Slappy was always the scariest one to watch when I was a kid, after watching that I would get the willies and find it impossible to go to sleep. Other stories that would haunt my mind would be the Terror Tower, Fever Swamp, the haunted mask and welcome to dead house. For anyone who needs a good laugh or a good scare, R.L. Stine's Goosebumps is just the ticket.
