I'm kind of sad that I found out about the Choose Your Adventure Goosebumps books when I was younger because man those are hard to find at a library when you are 15 and did not know about Amazon. I also realized that Chicken Chicken explains a lot about the subject matter in the Deviantart/weird fan art threads.

Wow, I actually thought this was an Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference until people pointed out that it was an actual cover.

It would be interesting for competent writers to re-write Goosebumps books based on their covers and vague childhood memory. However, they're really not worth it.

QUEEN CAUCUS posted:Ghostwriters. I actually read all the books as they were coming out every book fair during elementary school. Looking back he recycled so many of his ideas and never really deviated from a formula. Every book more of less became a 12 year old moving into a new house and his parents are scientists, also in a twist he turns out to be a dog or something. Whatever.

There was also that one about the gack knock-off that kept growing and also made a dog huge when it ate some. It turned out the kid's deaf aunt was a witch and cursed the poo poo, but then it turns out she was under the control of her pet cat that was actually a witch too.

Nutsngum posted:Ah poo poo, i remember that one. Completely out of left field and had I possessed the analytical brain I have now I probably would have thrown the book across the room. Instead it was all "cool!" If you had that analytical bran you would've graduated from Goosebumps and gone into the Fear Street series. Which, in retrospect, have horrifying descriptions. fear street no.5 posted:It begins as an innocent prank, when Deena Martinson and her best friend Jade Smith make sexy phone calls to the boys from school. But Deena's half-brother Chuck catches them in the act and threatens to tell their parents, unless the girls let him in on the fun.  Thanks to getting way more books as a kid from the local used book joint than Scholastic sales, I read Fear Street before Goosebumps and the latter just came off as lame and neutered. The only way to modernize Fear Street in my nostalgia brain is to incorporate terrorism or, uh... cybercrime. Carlton Banks Teller fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Aug 17, 2013 |

Penny Paper posted:It's me again, back and with content. Click to see in full: I was either too old or illiterate or lazy to get into these books, I do recall that my younger siblings loved them so all I did was admire the cover art. I did however have an official Goosebumps "knocker" that was that green goblin like head on the above cover. I blu-tacced it to my bedroom door in an unsuccessful attempt to make my room the house from the Addams family, but the screaming and evil laughing sound effect eventually wore thin as people would hit it whenever going past. Also, like Manfrompoot, I had access to N64 goodness so spent much of my time in Shadows-of-the-Empire land.  I imagine him screaming like the dudes in Serious Sam that run at you (while screaming).
