Recently, I came across some of my old Goosebumps books, which I thought were lost a long time ago. So naturally, it reminded me how much I loved the series as a kid and I'm planning on rereading them, along with getting the ones I'm currently missing. It got me to thinking about my favorites (none of which I found, naturally). In no particular order they are:

  1. Attack of the jack-o'-lanterns
  2. Why I'm afraid of bees
  3. The barking ghost
  4. Shocker on shock street

So, which Goosebmps books were your favorites? And do you prefer the original 90s covers or the reprints?

I loved that series so much when I was younger. I liked the tv series as well, though not as much. Still good ol nostalgia!

A few of my favourites were and probably still are even if I have not read them in ages...

The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb Say Cheese and Die! Beware, the Snowman Don't Go to Sleep! Chicken, Chicken

I can't remember the name of a few others but those ones I know I read over and over again. Especially Don't Go to Sleep! That one was my personal favorite!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the TV series! The theme song was the best part of the series honestly. But I did enjoy the books more.

The nostalgia hit me so hard when I found my books, which include most of your favorites btw. I can't believe Goosebumps turns 25 this month, I feel so old now lol.

Oh man I feel old too... but in a good way for once... just feels nice to be apart of the generation who grew up with those books and enjoyed so many of them.

Thanks for making this thread, I so want to get my hands on the books I loved so I can reread them all over again!

Oh man nostalgia overload for me I so want to re-read the ones I have and I know I have a lot, but the first few to come to mind are:

  1. The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight
  2. The Werewolf of Fever Swamp
  3. Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes
  4. It Came From Beneath the Sink
  5. Night of the Living Dummy I, II, and III

Pretty sure I own these still, but I think they're put up somewhere haha

Hmm.. top 5!

-Ghost beach -The ghost next door (this one actually made me cry) -It came from beneath the sink -One day at horrorland -The Cuckooclock of doom

But i also really enjoyed The House of Evil, and Silent Night for his teen series.

I loved so many, and i supremely loved his short tv series of The Nightmare Room, and the newer tv series The Haunting Hour. I dont care if its for kids, i love it.

I feel the same way, it was so much fun going to the library and discovering the newest Goosebumps book had arrived. I even had a t-shirt at one point, but I wound up getting rid of it. I regret that now.

oh man, the living dummy series was great! I think the third one was my favorite, I kept rereading that one lol.

I think I read most of his works (excluding the newer Goosebumps series) and I don't think I've ever been disappointed. Halloween party was my favorite fear street novel. Did you see that he wrote some new fear street books?

I haven't read Goosebumps since I was in elementary school, and I only read a handful of them but these were very memorable to me and I liked them:

  1. The Ghost Next Door
  2. The Haunted Mask
  3. The Barking Ghost

I'm sure there were more that I read but like I said it's very very hard to remember lol, these 3 stick in my mind.

There was one called The Girlfriend I remember reading. It was wild, but I don't know many other people that read it.

That is the one Goosebumps book that I missed! For whatever reason, my library didn't buy it when it came out. I will read it eventually.

It's definitely worth it IMO, especially if you enjoy the idea of haunted amusement parks in general. There's just something about the theme that I love. Any time a video game or movie or book is set in one, I'm all in! 😄

Definitely prefer the original 90's covers. I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever that the Goosebumps logo actually had bumps on the covers when I was a kid.
