Twenty years ago a TV show was made called Goosebumps. Fast forward now and there is now a movie of this coming out this year starring Jack Black as R.L Sline so what better way to do but to review the TV series of Goosebumps. As a kid I used to watch this every day on TV. Every episode(maybe there might have been a few I wasn't afraid of)was creepy and spooky. Created by R.L Sline the show is basically based on all the books he wrote and they are intertwined as short stories for teenagers that are involved in spooky situations,like mummy's vampires,witches,you name it and it was in this show. Two episodes I remember to this day are The Haunted Mask and The Night Of The Living Dummy which both scared me as a kid(actually I seen The Haunted Mask the other day and it scared the crap out of me). But The Night Of The Living Dummy episode was by far the creepiest I have ever came across as I have seen that episode so many times as a child and to this day it creeps me out. Slappy I remembered had red hair and he had this creepy face(like Chucky that serial doll killer from that horror film Seed Of Chucky). The Haunted Mask episode was also creepy as a young girl wanted to buy this really scary mask unaware that when she puts it on it would stick to her face and would be impossible to remove it,unless she can love herself more.Overall if you are a die hard fan of horror films than this show is just for you,but if you hate watching stuff that scare the living daylights out of you than stay away from it.Even the music was creepy like what you hear Danny Elfman play.

Where do I start with this? I'm a huge fan of both the book and show, heres why. Growing up in the 90s, there was every kind of show a kid could love. Both live action and animated, there was much to offer, Ren and Stimpy, Clarissa explains it all, Freakaziod, the Tick, etc. One stood out to me. Goosebumps, I had read some of the books and when I saw the TV show, I fell in love with the series. The characters are super cliché, the dialogue is delightfully cheesy, and the monsters are really cool. My favorite monsters are the horror land creatures, Slappy, the Scarecrow, and the Mummy. This is truly a classic 90s show in every way. I would watch this every weekend, and even bring the tapes to my day care. In sort, this is one of the best shows from the 90s, and makes me miss fox kids even more. There used to be a show for everybody, now thats just a thing of the past.

This is another great show from the 90's, Goosebumps is based on the brilliant books by R.L. Stine; each episode is a scary tale much like 'Are you afraid of the dark?' Some story lines were a little stupid like 'Are you afraid of the dark?' , yet some story lines were quite scary..I remember my cousin use to come over and watch with me on a Friday..How we laughed when I brought this up a couple of days ago...We're both 21 now...and can't believe we scared of the episode were the boy's aunt and uncle turn into werewolves. And the episode with the dummy that's evil and tries to kill the three kids.... But I think what truly gave this show the edge was the music...the theme tune...it instantly caught every kid's attention and made them sit down in front of the television and watch. Another amazing show from the 90's.

I started watching this show when I was 6 years old, and it really intrigued and scared me. I remember taping episodes to watch, later after school.Looking back on it now, I can see flaws in the stories and don't really find it as mystifying as I used to. Although, I will always get nostalgic when watching it and that will always make me recommend this show to kids, and even people my age (17-18) for a good, light watch.My favorite episodes will always be the Night Of The Living Dummy ones, for a good reason. They still give me the creeps to this day!Overall, enjoyable watchable series that still entertains me. Highly recommended.
