Goosebumps Viewer Beware You're In For A Scared. With a warning like that how could you expect not to be curious about Goosebumps.

"Goosebumps" is based by the book series of the same name by R.L.Stine and this is one of the few times when a show or movie based off a book does it right. Goosebumps was a very popular book series in the 1990s and R.L.Stine was consider the Stephen King of Children Horror stories and looking back he manage to create a series that grab children's attention and inspire them to read more. Also I have one Goosebumps book.

Now I'll be honest I was more into the book series "Animorphs" because it story line hold my interest more. But it didn't stop me from watching Goosebumps the TV Series

The Intro to Goosebumps remains one of my favorites as it starts off with R.L.Stine walking in a black hat and black jacket and briefcase and a chilling piano theme that still holds up today as being creepy whoever wrote the music for the theme deserves a lot of points because it still a creative theme song even more.

The episodes for Goosebumps were based off stories from the book series. A good percent of the episodes follow the story line of the books. For a children's show it still had the factor of fear.

Episodes like "The Haunted Mask", "The Girl Who Cried Monster", "Night Of The Living Dummy" "Stay Out Of The Basement", "A Night In Terror Tower", "The Werewolf Of Fever Swamp", "Attack Of The Mutant","Scarecrow Walks At Midnight" "Vampire Breath", "Werewolf Skin" I could keep on listing episodes of the show but these episodes are enough to hold your attention and send a chill up your spine. Now that's something you don't expect in a series based off a children book.

Goosebumps just takes what is already a horror theme story in it own right and made it very scary on TV also the theme song will get your attention to make you watch the show so give Goosebumps a shot but Beware You're In For A Scare.
