Goosebumps | October 16, 2015 | Jack Black | First Trailer on Page 11!

The Haunted Mask episodes were kinda creepy too. I remember the man who gave her the mask scaring me as a child.

The scariest one for me was actually the very first Goosebumps, Welcome to Dead House. I wonder if the zombies in the movie stills are from that book?

[FrozenUnicorn]

I think I have around 100, including Goosebumps 2000 and those Multiple Choice Goosebumps (remember those? Turn to Page 4 to join the Blue Team and get transformed into a bat. Or turn to Page 16 to join the Red Team and enter a house of monsters). I also have the hardcover collection of the first three Goosebumps that screams when you open it. Always found that freakishly cool, like a book out of the Harry Potter universe or something.

I still have a ton of Goosebumps books, and I always liked the Give Yourself Goosebumps ones because I love Choise Your Own Adventure stories.:DOf the main books though, my favorites are Phantom of the Auditorium (HUGE Phantom of the Opera fan so that has a soft spit in my heart), The Ghost Next Door, Ghost Camp, One Day at Horrorland, How I Learned to Fly, Attack of the Mutant, Calling All Creeps, and The Beast From the East.

[Jack Nevada]

Never read any of these books.

[Fancyarcher]

Never read any of these books.

 

You should have.

 

When I was a child the books were the shit. The covers creeped me out, that sometimes when I was in the dark, I didn't want to look at them.

Give Yourself Goosebumps! YES, that's what that series was called! :DHaha, I can easily see why The Ghost Next Door was one of your faves! That was the first book to get me teary-eyed! And DAT TWIST! Shyamalan is such a rip-off!!!!!

Wasn't much of a reader as a kid. I liked comic books but that's about it.

I read everything. I read comic books, but at one point, I was such a reader, that I finished up to three books a week.

Goosebumps was very specifically a late 90's fad. So I can see why Nevada missed it as it was a little before his time. I assume all the fans here are in their early to mid 20's. AKA The Disney Renaissance Toddlers.

Yup. When I was growing up, I saw The Goosebumps show premier and end, and I saw Toy Story on the big screen.

You are making me miss my 90's childhood so much, man!

[Fancyarcher]

You are making me miss my 90's childhood so much, man!

 

I know, I know. But it was a great time for me. I feel sorry for the kids growing up today. They won't get the real chance to experience some of the stuff I saw.

[Ethan Hunt]

I read a lot of these but hardley remember them, I think I liked the one about Garden gnomes.

[TServo2049]

This is going to be from the director of Gulliver's Travels. Is that cause for concern?

Yes, chances are this may not turn out to be this generation's The Shining. Edited July 23, 2014 by Spidey Freak

Point well taken. As long as it's not aggressively bad like Smurfs 2 or the Chipmunks sequels or anything like that, I'm fine.I read Goosebumps, enjoyed them as a kid. Though I didn't really watch the TV show, I was more of an Are You Afraid of the Dark kid myself. (Now THAT show was scary. Oh, and Hayden showed up in that too, didn't he?)

I liked Chipmunks 2. 3 was awful.

[John Marston]

too bad this is going to be a movie no doubt targeted for kids. It would have been better if they were targeting the people that grew up with the series.

Yup!. I was born at the end of '91, but I never saw the show until probably 2007 (I didn't know there was one). My childhood shows consisted of Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Seasame Street, Rugrats, Slime Time Live, etc. I would have likely loved Goosebumps if I had know there was a show.Oh 90's/early '00's, how I miss you.

[Ethan Hunt]

It wasn't just a 90s thing. It was super popular when I was in first grade. So 2007.

[ddddeeee]

The killer sponge!

 

 

So many memories. Tales from the Crypt for kids.
