                Once again, your lack of substance annoys me. Plus, out of curiosity, did you?

                As for me, the books did nothing for me, and I've never actually had any desire to watch the show. It angers me that the show's going ot air on CN this month.

                    I didn't read Goosebumps but I did watch the show. I saw today that it's going to be on Cartoon Network. Be cool to see the shows again.
                    It's OK, next time I'll make you listen. I wish that it were in the power of all children to say that to their parents and to know that indeed they would be heard as we were in those wonderful days on Waltons Mountain.Narrator The Waltons (From the Runawa

                      I loved Goosebumps. I remember them being really popular when I was growing up. There was always literally a mad dash by a good number of people in my class when the book fair would come, to grab up the latest book in the series. 2 of my favorites were 'One Day @ Horrorland' and 'A Night In Terror Tower'. I liked the Monster Blood books, too. There was also a time-travelling one where this kid keeps getting younger and younger ('Cucoo Clock of Doom' or something like that). :)

                        I read a few of the books and remember them being really scary. My mom didn't like me reading them, but my friend who was obsessed with them let me borrow a few of his to read. I also watched the show a few times.

                        I liked Animorphs better :)

                          The show sucked and was flat-out lame, but the books were pretty enjoyable back in mid-elementary school.

                          I still remember a line from one of those books: a boy is transformed into a tiny little bee, and he's attempting to get contact with a scientist that can turn him back. She (the scientist) gets into the car, and the boy is about to be run over. Suddenly, the car stops -- she forgot to put her seatbelt on! This provides the boy with some extra time to scoot out of the way. His reaction to this near-death experience? "Boy, I guess seatbelts really do save lives!"

                            I remember Goosebumps, it was the only book series I was absolutely hooked on. I didn't think the stories were that scary, but they were page-turners nontheless.

                            I think I still have some lying around, it'll be a shame if I let them all go. :p


                            My favourite Goosebumps:

                            Welcome to Dead House
                            Beast from the East
                            Go Eat Worms
                            Day of the Jack-O-Lanterns
                            Bad Hare Day
                            Monster Blood I, II and III
                            Say Cheese and Die, and SCAD Again

                            Ah, the memories.

                                I loved the books I have probably 20 or so)..the tv show was okay. I preferred AYAOTD though. But it sucks that CN is only airing the show for this month. That means they wont be airing all the episodes :( Oh well, its still cool that they're showing it though.
