The Goosebumps series falls under the children's fiction, horror and thriller genre, although R. L. Stine characterizes the series as "scary books that are also funny."[5] Goosebumps books feature different characters[6] and settings in each book.[7] The central characters in each book are white, middle class Americans. Protagonists can be either male or female.[8]
The primary protagonists of a Goosebumps story are often situated in a remote location or somehow isolated from typical societal conventions. This can range anywhere from comfortable suburban areas to boarding schools, foreign villages or campsites.[9] Books typically feature characters who either recently moved to a new neighborhood or are sent to stay with relatives.[8]
Why we miss it?
Well, Goosebumps was something like a guilty pleasure when i was like 8. I didn't like it and i was afraid of it, but never missed an episode either. This thing make me have some really good nightmares back then. Probably if i watch it now, i will laugh but then it was really scary. I was really glad that was airing in the late afternoon and not at night. As for the books, i never tried to read them. The tv series was enough for me XD
Whoa that video just threw me back a couple of years into my childhood. Oh how I miss it. Things today aren't as they were before. =(
ReplyDeleteI never read any books, at least not that I could remember but I used to watch the show all the time and loved how scared I would be. -sigh- oh the memories.
I always liked Are You Afraid of the Dark more but Goosebumps was pretty good, too.
ReplyDeleteGoosebumps used to scare me to death when I was a kid. Recently I watched some repeat episodes with my younger cousins and almost fell off my seat laughing :D
