I used to love rubbing my fingers on the title section of the book covers.

Hell, I still do.

Not many, I probably read 2 or 3 only. I did watch the show. I also made up 'scary' stories and passed them off as Goosebumps for my grade 6 book reports. lol

I did. They were awesome. Probably my favorite was about these kids who visited their grandparents at some beach and there was a ghost there. I think it was also the first one I read.

Quite often. Horrorland video game was also my first PC game. It had Jeff Goldblum as Dracula!

I mostly enjoyed the choose your own adventure books. I wish more of such types of books existed. I really only ever remember seeing two choose your own adventure book series. The Goosebumps one and an Indiana Jones one.

As a kid, goosebumps never really scared me (horror novels don't really do the trick), but does anyone remember that novel with the headless ghost in the house? I think that kept me up a few nights. That one Goosebumps book shook me down to my soul.

I definitely used to watch the show, used to scare me a lot, though I think I was maybe a bit young for it. I might've read one or two of the books, too.

I had the books from 1-50ish. They got less dark as the series progressed. What was the one with the dumbwaiter and the strawberry ice cream? That was most memorable to me.

I think the Ghost Next Door was my favorite. They were pretty cool, although I definitely have to say that it was Harry Potter that really got me into reading.

Yeh, and I really loved them. I remember I would go to my school library when I was small to borrow as many as I could and read them when I get home. Good memories.

I loved those books, I remember I also got an "audio book" version about these kids that had to test out a new theme park, that freaked me out when listening to it at night.

I actually didn't. I was a huge wimp. I'm right in the middle of watching the haunted mask right now though. Cannot watch night of the living dummy, but other than that they're awesome.

Oh man, I almost forgot about those. I loved them, but they were a bit simple compared to other "choose your adventure" books.

I did. I'm 19 and when I see goosebumps on TV I still get uneasy. The dog changing eye colors in the opening always gets me. :(

Oh, man those were the best back then in the good'ol days :) Loved them and the TV show was so good as well...ah great, great times, those. Think I threw out my extensive collection about two years ago...we all grew out of them methinks. Favorite book was "Say cheese and die" oh and show was that Mask one! Where they are in Halloween....
