The new episode of Horror TV Shows We Miss looks back at the R.L. Stine-inspired anthology series Goosebumps, which aired in the ’90s
A new episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series has just arrived online, and in this one we’re looking back at a very popular show that aired back in the 1990s: the R.L. Stine-inspired anthology series Goosebumps! Basing a TV series on Stine’s books was a great idea, because there’s a whole lot of source material to pull from. Since 1992, Stine has written more than 150 Goosebumps books, and many of those were published during the TV show’s 1995 to 1998 run. To find out what we had to say about the TV adaptations of Stine’s stories, check out the video embedded above!
Wikipedia provides a synopsis for Goosebumps: Goosebumps is a children’s anthology horror television series based on R. L. Stine’s best-selling book series of the same name. It is an anthology of stories about tweens and young teens finding themselves in creepy and unusual situations, typically involving supernatural elements or the occult.
The show ran for a total of 74 episodes that aired over the course of 4 seasons.
