This one, probably. Why doesn't /lit/ have its own children's horror series?

Calling all Creeps has a sick cover but story wise the one where the girl turns into a bug was probly creepiest.

Choose your own adventure books are the only acceptable Goosebumps books.

This dude is the only celeb to be born on my birthday

I guess that's good so I don't have total shit eaters sharing the day of my birth, I only read some of his books (I like the choose your own adventure ones, I remember going back to pages once I got a dead end and then forgetting what option I picked) because I thought they were a little too spooky for me.

I remember every chapter ended with a cliffhanger. Literally every chapter.

And he liked to use certain phrases pretty consistently. Like he would say a word and then say "Word. That was the word of the day."

Bruno Mars, Matt Damon, Chevy Chase, Sigourney Weaver, and Paul Hogan are one of many more celebrities who are also born on October 8th.

Unless you exclusively meant authors.

Pic related, easily.

My favourite "Give Yourself Goosebumps" book was #27 - Checkout Time at the Dead-End Hotel.
My favourite Special Edition "Give Yourself Goosebumps" book was #1 - Into the Jaws of Doom.

I never read any of the newer series.

I remember there being one about a kid who was invisible the whole book up until the end. When it described what he looked like, he was just an ordinary guy. Then it described the other characters, and it turned out everyone was freaky monster people. Blew my mind as a kid

Think its pic related

If it makes you feel any better, I do not currently read Goosebumps books. I am recounting my favourite books as a child.

I had a similar mind-explosion when I read pic related. I was 6 or 7 at the time.
The twist is that the camp is actually a training facility to prepare the protagonist for a mission to explore an alien planet. Then there's a secondary twist - the alien planet is Earth.
First time I'd ever had my world rocked.

>>7381333
Pretty sure I had this one.

Goddamn, I wish I had kept my Goosebumps instead of selling them all for a dollar each in the sixth grade.

>And then he turned... INTO A DOG! HAHAHAHAHA

>>7382144
This.

I tried reading some of these in elementary school solely because it was what the other kids were doing. Even then I found them childish, asinine, and poorly written. Still went through a half a dozen before I gave up and went back to reading books. These books were instrumental in helping me come to the conclusion that the majority of people in life are completely worthless.

*tips fedora*

The Haunted Mask was def. the scariest, but I liked The Nightmare Room series more.

>>7381361

fuck yeah. i'm going to search for that book now.

I remember the "careful what you wish for" and the kid turning into a fucking bee made the biggest impression on me for some reason.

Best teen fiction author was Paul Zindel. All else leave please.

>>7381309
He's a real animal!

One of the saddest realizations in my life is that I'll never be able to be a kid reading Goosebumps again. Think by the time I left my elementary school I went through the section. Librarian ordered new ones for me too, shit was pretty awesome.

I literally have 60 of these books. They were all so interesting as a kid with those chapter ending techniques R.L. stine used to capture the audience. I never had the full luxury of watching most of the tv shows, esp. since i was too scared when they did air at the time. the books are really good as a kid though, haunting mask, shock street, the one with the dog ( i thnk ghost dog?).
i remember the mud monster one being the one that got me. it was almost like a damn scary movie. i havent read a goosebumps book in atleast 7 years

God, I remember his books vaguely. The one I remember most clearly is pic related, which is like light-porn but with a lot of emphasis on the men. Found it in the library and stole it to jerk off with. Then destroyed it because I felt guilty as fuck.

Do the fear street books count?
If yes, my favorite is the 99 fear street series. I remember reading that when I was like 6, I couldn't understand everything but I loved it. It was pretty scary for my age.

I know there's a couple summer camp ones... which one is the one where she goes and finds out all the people at the camp are dead? Then they chase her through the woods? I think that's the plot at least. Loved that one.

This on ends with her having to stay forever and has a ghost. I don't recall everyone at the camp being dead though. But it's been years since I read these books and I was a kid so high chance of being wrong.

>>7381177
RL Stine actually came to our school once to talk about his books and writing. It was pretty fun.

>>7383082
That is awesome. I would love to have gotten the chance to meet him. I wanted to be a horror author when I was younger and really looked up to him. I'd still have to consider him one of my favorite authors, even if his books are for kids and young teens.

>>7381200
>He never read goosebumps as a kid

This is the only one I can remember

>>7381183
This one freaked me out.

The last scene is the bus ride home from camp. The protagonist and his brother are relieved, because the ghosts were trying to kill them and inhabit their bodies as an escape. It gets grim when the brother starts singing a camp song, and the protagonist notices it's not his singing voice, it belongs to one of the ghost kids. His brother is fucking dead, and now he is on the way home with this stranger who plans on living with his family.

>>7381177
never realised how much the cover looks like tyler the creator until now

>>7381200
>hating fun
Fuck off. I guarantee you have nothing profound to say about anything.

>>7382312
8/10

What ever happened to RL stine?

His books were really popular for a while then they just stopped coming out.
I'm assuming he said something racist during an interview or molested a kid?

>>7382312
Is that the one where all the kids were genetically altered dogs? Was definitely a cool twist at the end.

>>7382496
I swear I read one where teenagers are being hunted down and we find out the person doing this is like one of the teenager's future daughter... like she was pregnant and considering abortion and this was her future/possible daughter in some weird form. It was like a weird 90s white teen version of Beloved.

>>7383210
His face is all over everything. I'd recognize him if I saw him in public.

I want to add the one that was a Phantom of the Opera-ripoff and the piano lessons book. The piano one was great mostly because I was taking lessons at the time.

Seems like he hasn't done anything in a few years. It wouldn't surprise me if he's semi-retired; I mean, the guy's 72 years old and pretty successful.

I heard there was a goosebumps movie in the making but I apparently it's going to be complete shit.

>>7384583
I think this book made me deathly afraid of getting tetanus.

>>7384586
Isn't it already out? It's been promoted a bunch... Poor Jack Black, your career is absolute shit now.

It's so weird to have this thread today. I took my younger brother to go see the movie just this afternoon. It was pretty good actually, and Jack Black surprisingly played the part really well. I mean, it wasn't. A cinimatic classic by any means, but it was fun to see all of the creatures from my childhood come to life on the big screen. My brother loved it and it made him want to read more of the books. Solid 7/10

>>7381177
The first one I read was Welcome to Dead House, and it scared the hell out of me. I was nine or ten at the time and was having recurring nightmares that all my family and friends didn't really exist, and for some reason the book tied into those fears. I don't remember exactly why.

I really got into the series after that, and I even had the local bookstore call my house to let me know when new ones arrived. I think my favorite was probably The Ghost Next Door.

Gotta say, OP, Camp Jellyjam was probably my least favorite.

>>7381177
Never really cared for the books.

But the "Werewolf of Fever Swamp" video actually scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
