Publisher's Synopsis
Ever played with monster blood? Slipped into a werewolf skin suit recently? Or discovered a ghost living next door? How about ventriloquist dummies? Have any warm and cozy feelings about those creepy little things? Didn't think so.
In 1995, R.L. Stine's best-selling children's horror stories were brought to the small screen with the live-action Goosebumps television series. The Canadian and American co-production ran for four seasons and in that time spawned quite a few nightmares. Grab this book and join me as we pop some popcorn, refill our drinks, and flick that old TV back on to reminisce and examine in depth all 74 episodes of the series. Featuring critical analysis and exclusive interviews with the brains behind the series, this is the book you've been waiting for if you have a fear of Slappy, gnomes, killer plants, giant ants, or vampire sponges!
Does the show hold up after all these years? What creepy, twisted memories will be dredged up in your subconscious as we pull back the haunted mask on the series? There's only one way to find out, but I must warn you that nary a plot hole or awkward moment will be forgiven! One thing's for certain, you're in for a scare...
