So I was wondering if there is any memorabilia on drool? I swear when i was a kid in 1998 seeing an add pop up about a stuffed animal but cant find any merchandise of him now. Please tell me if you remember this or now of anything. Thank you!
Going through them I will be selling these few books in the last image; which are all first editions basically from my collection (and are duplicate books, I kept the worst of the two of each, or the newer prints).
I am excited to share these images with you all and to possibly send a couple of my books of many years to you all as well.
I saw this jacket pop up as an ad but I don’t recognize this skeleton guy? Who is he and what book is he from?
Time to start over😭. Welcome to dead house was $250 alone.
Anyone want to tell about some books you’ve recently gotten?
Finally got it! Not the best condition obviously but I finally landed this one! I’d say the $24 I paid for it is justified with how good condition that mask is in
Not a shot at the books by any means the cover art for the goosebumps books are some of the greatest book covers ever created
Hey all! Just a friendly reminder if you’re buying these books you can NOT simply look at the wording and think you have a first print. Please look at the printer key. Most of them say “Scholastic First Print” but that doesn’t mean anything. Look at the left side of the book and check out the numbers. The lowest number is the actual print. Too many times I’m seeing books advertised as “genuine first prints” that are NOT first prints. I’ve included examples. The first one is a genuine first print since the lowest number is 1. Then it goes 5th print, 16th print, and 39th print. Notice how they all say “First Scholastic Printing” though. Again check the printer key on the left! Don’t pay premium for some 39th print of a book.
My Hairiest Adventure is first print.
The Ghost Next Door and The Curse of The Mummy’s Tomb are original 90s editions but not first print.
The rest are newer editions from the tins.

I was a very anxious kid. I'm insomniac and I used to have these horrible nightmares when I was young, so I didn't like to watch any "scary stuff." But I guess the horror genre just called to me even back then, because my favorite show was Scooby-Doo and, as I'm sure you've guessed, I loved the Goosebumps books. I'll try to remember to post my collection later, since I'm not home rn!
Anyways, sorry for rambling. I'm curious to know if anyone else has a specific quote or a scene from the books that made a strong impression on you! Mine is definitely the quote above, from Welcome to Dead House, where Mr. Dawes says "Amanda, it doesn't hurt to die," I still recall this phrase from time to time because of how much the whole book unsettled me. I think this is one of the darkest Goosebumps books and iirc even R. L. Stine has said he thought it was too scary for kids lol
I'd love to see a current director adapt a classic book for us older readers who grew up during the Goosebumps boom in the 90's
Confirmed via Bookmanager
I’ve got all 62 original books as well as all 6 of the tales to give u goosebumps books! Some of my favorites are that I have the werwolf mask and some other inserts. I also made my own bookmarks and I absolutely love them.
got this from thriftbooks on the tik tok shop and they have SOOOO many goosebumps books that never had the chance to do well in sales and overall goosebumps books that share different stories from that period
Hey guys, I found an old snippet from the Goosebumps Live on Stage show from 1998. Pretty cool right? I got it from this website The Other Goosebumps Show
Tales from the Crypt, Twilight Zone, Monsters, Tales from the Darkside, Creepshow?
So I introduced my niece (11) and nephew (8) to Goosebumps at the start of the year. It was too hot to go outside in Australia, so I read them a bunch of Goosebumps (they can both read well, but they prefer it if I read Goosebumps out loud). They loved Welcome to Camp Nightmare, Horror at Camp Jellyjam, and Werewolf of Fever Swamp, but weren't overly fond of Haunted Mask or Scarecrow Walks at Midnight (the latter of which we didn't finish because they thought it was boring). We have also done some GYG (Escape from the Carnival of Horrors, Dr Eek, Jungle of Doom, and Camp Run for Your Life, although we only did one ending for CRFYL because on their first go they got a great ending so they didn't want to 'ruin' it by doing another).
I'm wondering what book I should read next for them, particularly over Halloween. I'd like to try another run at Camp Run for Your Life, which is quite fun. I think a GYG book work well for Halloween, as it can be quicker depending on how many endings you want to do. I was thinking Night in Werewolf Woods, but the reviews online look pretty bad. My niece and nephew love a bit of action (like the camp books), but also a bit of atmosphere/mystery like Fever Swamp.
For the original books, I was thinking Attack of the Jack o Lanterns, but I think they'd find it a bit boring honestly. They would probably like Beast from the East better. They seem to be more into the adventurous books, which is why I'm thinking of trying another GYG.
Any recommendations?
