And in each situation, they must find a way to get themselves out. From evil halloween masks to werewolves. From scarecrows to dummies. From haunted amusement parks and toy towns that come to life, in Goosebumps, anything can happen!moreless

    I liked this show when is was a kid. The good horror stories with different characters everytime. I even readed the books later on. I don't think that there's any show like it now wich is a shame. I think that the creators of the show did a good effort to make this as scary as possible for the audience. I remember the double episodes about the mask. Or the one where a family went to an amusement park where there we're so called actors in suits or where they? There where so many good episodes wich made you wanna watch it even more.moreless

  • Whether you read the books or not Goosebumps was a great scary show for kids.

    Goosebumps is a classic book series for kids that I, and many others have read as a kid. The books were created by R.L. Stine and told horror stories that were suitable for kids about kids encountering the supernatural. During the height of its popularity FOX Kids decided to make this into a show. The show followed some of the books from the series like Go Eat Worms, How to Kill a Monster, The Haunted Mask, Attack of the Killer Jack-O Lanterns, and so on. Each episode followed its book adaptation rather well, and did a good job trying to stay close to the book, but it never truly followed the book. There are plenty of scary moments that will make kids jump, but adults will most likely not be phased by the scares at all. I do have to point out 2 glaring issues with this series though. The first is that the acting is terrible. While not the worst the kids' acting needed some serious work, and sounded rather wooden. The other is the dialogue. Some of the lines in this series are terrible, and dreadful. It seems the adults though get the worst lines though, and say very goofy lines. Despite those issues Goosebumps is a great show for those who loved the book series, and did a good job following the books it was based on. If you liked Goosebumps check this show out.moreless

  • The books, to me, were better.

    When I was in elementary school, I loved reading the Goosebumps books in my classroom and in the library. When the show was on Fox Kids, I ignored it and watched Garfield and Power Rangers instead. I didn't see the show until Cartoon Network re-ran it during October, and I wasn't impressed. The acting wasn't that great, the effects were cheesy, and I got more chills from the books. I don't know why. While Nickelodeon/Cinar's Are You Afraid of the Dark? sometimes had bad acting and bad effects, remember, this show premiered in 1990, so of course the effects were cheesy. But...come on! Goosebumps (the show) started in 1995! Shouldn't the stuff be improved by then?

    So anyway, I don't hate Goosebumps, I just don't really like the show. The books always made every situation scarier, almost like you're there.moreless

    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!moreless
