Goosebumps...

[Catman]

You just blew my mind...

Damn it, Spider-Gamer! You need to visit the Hype more often! Man, I miss your classic posts so much!

 

[The Last Meatbag]

But they were awesome

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Yes awesome to the extreme!

I have to agree! t:

Maybe there should be a novels/books forum added to the comic books forum.

Pfft, like modern day people read.

I enjoyed the "choose your fate!!1" run, where it'd give you an option at the bottom of every page like..

You approach the door -
Turn to page 138 if you open it
Flip to page 76 if you turn back

And then it'd continue like that until you got 1 of about 5 endings.

I'll agree, but Goosebumps certainly caught me unawares quite a few times as well. The thing about Are You Afraid Of The Dark though was that half of the time, I was already ****ting myself with the theme song, which was infinitely scarier than Goosebumps.

Yeah, I definatley liked both, but Are you afraid of the dark? was the original show, and I was a huge fan of that before Goosebumps came around. I have all the episodes of are you afraid of the dark? on DVD that I got when I was younger through ebay (even though it was never released officially on DVD)

As far as theme songs goes, AYAOTD? wins easily

Because of Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick adapted "The Shining" to film, making "Here's Johnny!" an enduring catchphrase for Jack Nicholson.

The Shining kicked all kinds of ass. Jack Nicholson rules, and that movie is definatley one of my faves. Stanley Kubrick knows his stuff

These books were good basically because of the twist endings that most of them had. They rarely ended on a good note, and had quite morbid and disturbing endings, even if the hero did defeat the antagonists. Quite a lesson for the kiddies reading who I'm sure were sleeping with the lights on after most of them.

That Dummy epp scared me I still get the chills from thinking about it. I read most of them I think. I really liked the one about the siblings who went like scuba diving with their uncle and they find this shark.

Fear Street is pretty good too. I liked the Sagas the best.

How many of you read the R.L. Stine books and watched the tv series? I was a fan when I was a kid, and found the books enjoyable even if they weren't particularly scary.

when i was in third grade kids used to collect the books. we'd all come to school and dump out a backpack filled with goosebump books. i used to love them and got dpressed in 4th grade when i started finnishing them in two hours. stupid advanced reading ability

Fear Street is pretty good too.

Fear Street kicked ass, man! It was actually pretty violent. That's why it was cool. Goosebumps was fantasy violence while Fear Street was actual violence.

Every Jack T. Chick tract. Everyday, All the time

Does it really

See, in my world, the fact that one of the Hype's biggest anti-Christianity crusaders... hell, he's not just ON the bandwagon, he's leading it... used to read massively PRO-Christian comic strips is not a CLARIFICATION.

It's one of those funny little contradictions that make up life.

[Abaddon]

Wilhelm's like the Graydon Creed of anti-Christianity.

My point is, there's so much hatred and misinformation to support it in those, that reading enough of those will make anyone hate Christianity.

Ummmm........ok

Chick tracts do. Chick tracts. If you bothered to see what I was was talking about before replying, you'd see that.

I swear: CHICK TRACTS ARE RIDICULOUS AND OFFENSIVE. READING THEM WOULD GIVE ONE A BAD IMPRESSION OF CHRISTIANS. WILHELM'S NOT A FAN OF CHRISTIANS. I MADE CORRELATION. IT WAS A JOKE.

We watched goosebumps before/after trick-or-treating on halloween. It was cool.
