Show Summary

Goosebumps was a live-action series that began on Fox Kids in the mid '90s. It's based on the award-winning book series, written by R.L. Stine.

Goosebumps takes place in a strange reality, where nothing is as it seems. Normal kids find themselves trapped within and exposed to the paranormality that this world has to offer. 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 remember R.L. Stine as a writer when I was a kid in the 70's. He put out a lot of books before the "Goosebumps" series, so he's been writing for kids a long time. "Goosebumps" is probably what he's best known for, but I'm not sure TV is the best medium for his work. Watching the episodes, I notice he doesn't use a lot of paranormal knowledge, Details are shady, there's too much extrenuous info, the plots are often over the top and the production is rushed. Frequently, the kids jump straight to far-fetched conclusions with very little info. For example: in the Blob episode, the kids somehow ration they can just "think" the creature away after the typewriter used to create it is lost. Same episode: the same kid in danger of getting eaten by the blob helps it out by climbing into its mouth. Even worse yet, the creature becomes the kid at the end. Several times in the series, the creatures aren't scary; they're a bit too talky and often a bit pretentious, but then, these stories are meant for kids, and overacting, bad writing and illogical circumstances are par for the course. Case in point: I think kids with a typewriter than makes things come true might find a way to exploit it rather than fret constantly about what's going to happen. Bottom line: little kids might think this show scary, but older kids will watch it just for the nostalgic factor.moreless
  • Loved to watch these when I was little.

    Sure the scary stuff looks fake and the acting can be bad but it will still give you a scare every now and then. The Werewolf of Fever Swamp scared me so much before. I loved the Night of the Living Dummy ones. Great show! I wish they didn't cancel it, there are so many possible episodes to make, since it's a different storyline every time. If you still want to see more, you should check out "R.L Stine's The Haunting Hour" on the Hub. It's like the same thing, and sometimes they have guest stars. They are making new episodes, too!moreless
