    Scary Show Based on the Books Written By R.L. Stine. hide « show »

    Another fun show that aired in FOX long ago. I remember watching this the first time and i was scared, ooh. Mainly each episode is based off of a book from the series. I use to read Goosebumps in the 4th, 3rd, and 5th grade and later i finished the series. It was the only book i read because i think pretty much everything in the public library sucked. It ticked me off how they aired this show on CARTOON NETWORK. I didn't want no reality show on CN, even though i liked Goosebumps. The show wasn't really what i was expecting when i read the books. Some were disappointing, some were nothing to the original story, and the acting kind of sucked. I liked the storyline, but everything else was poop. Overall, if you watch this show to get scares, creeps, and screams, it's the right show for you. If you watch this for fun, your gonna think it's poop.

    Pretty much a scary kids show,but a pretty good one. hide « show »

    Okay,I love the book series and I love this show.It doesn't have some stuff from the books,but it's still good.The evil characters including Slappy are the best scary villians ever and it was a good idea to put it on Cartoon Network.I mean,who would put that show on Fox instead of a really good cartoon channel?I've seen some of the episodes of this show and it is a the best scary kids show ever.I really like this show and I grade it a B because it's not that scary for me but it's a pretty good show on Cartoon Network.

    Scary but good! hide « show »

    Goosebumps is a really good show about different situations kids find themselfs in. It is a really good show that is a bit scary and also good. My favourie episodes are when two kids go into a house to get a little girls cat but they are made to play a human sized board game and my other favourite is when there is a model city that sucks kids in and makes them do stuff like play a baseball game that decides life or death. I watched goosebumps growing up and really enjoyed it. I am very sad it ended!

    I was scared. hide « show »

    As a little kid, I was really creeped out by this show. Almost every episode managed to scare the crap out of me. It was really good at being creepy, scary, and entertaining at the same time. The writing was good, the acting was okay, and the plots were really interesting. My favorite episodes were any involving Slappy and the dummies. I found those episodes to be entertaining and most of all, a thrill to watch. It is a shame it only lasted 3 years. The books were really good, at least most of them. Overall, this was a good show. Thank you.

    I hate it. hide « show »

    Ugh. I HATE this show! Cartoon Network had this on in what was it,2006? And yet they dare to bring it back and call it "new". This isn't scary at all to me. The books were MUCH better than this,and I didn't even think THOSE were scary. Seriously,the acting is terrible,the effects are cheesy,and,once again,it's not even scary. No offense to all the Goosebumps fans out there. It tries so hard to be scary,but it only ends up being cheesy,at least in my opinion. Cartoon Network is REALLY going downhill now. "Oooh,a fake rubber mask,it's so scary,oooh!" -_-
    I would like this show canceled FOR GOOD. Again,no offense to anyone.
