Thank you again to Mr Henderson, who made this renewed series possible. I promise not to let you down, sir.

That's right, the gang is back! All your favorite character archetypes are here; the put-upon protagonist; the science nerd; the high school bully; girl.Monster Blood IV is the sixty-second and final book in the original Goosebumps book series, and the fourth book in the Monster Blood saga. It was published in 1997.

I Live in Your Basement! I mean, I don't; it's just the name of the story. I have, however, frequently been accused of living in my mother's basement by certain “comedians” on Twitter, simply because I pointed out that there are far too many females in superhero films today.I Live in Your Basement! is the sixty-first book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was published in 1997.

A second live-action Goosebumps movie?? Not since The Empire Strikes back had the world so anticipated a sequel. Now, imagine if Empire featured only Chewbacca, with Leia returning fifteen minutes before the credits roll, and no events from the first film being referenced. Also, Leia is played by Jack Black.Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is the sequel to the film Goosebumps, released in theaters in the United States on October 12, 2018 by Columbia Pictures

In research for reading this story, in which characters dress up as and become werewolves, I attended Furfest, the state's biggest anthropomorphic animal convention. I'm pleased to see that my negative preconceptions of the “furry” community were largely dispelled, and I have since been doodling sketches of my own “fursona” (which is essentially just me but endowed certain horse appendages).Werewolf Skin is the sixtieth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was published in 1997.

RL Stine was writing about haunted schools in 1997, but I know a school that would really scare today's woke millennials; it's called the SCHOOL OF LIFE, and before you ask, sorry snowflakes, you don't get a participation award for attending.Please note: ‘The School of Life' is no way an accredited learning institute and should instead be considered only a rhetorical expression used to suggest that bigotry and ignorance are somehow grounded in common sense.The Haunted School is the fifty-ninth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1997.

Deep Trouble II! Did the first Deep Trouble really warrant a sequel? Perhaps not, but neither did G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) or The Croods (2013) but that didn't stop those Hollywood fat-cats from greenlighting sequels several years after the originals. Deep Trouble II is a lot like it's fellow aquatic-sequel Jaws 2 (1978) in that it features giant sea creatures and magic plankton that turns you into a fish (note: I have not seen Jaws 2).Deep Trouble II is the fifty-eighth book in the original Goosebumps book series, and the second book in the Deep Trouble saga. It was first published in 1997.

Now admittedly, this is a personal favorite story of mind because for a long time I was convinced I too had an invisible friend! Sticky Jim, I called him. Oh the adventures we had; the things he told me to do; the ideas he would put into my head. Those horrible, terrible ideas.My Best Friend Is Invisible is the fifty-seventh book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1997.

Okay, let's not pretend we haven't all considered staging a fake drowning to gain sympathy. I myself tried something similar when I was twelve and ran away from a school trip in a nearby forest to upset my parents. It was three days before they noticed I was gone and a week before they notified the authorities. If I wasn't taken in by that cannabis-growing hermit living on a creek to avoid taxes I would have surely perished (not that Mum and Dad would have cared).The Curse of Camp Cold Lake is the fifty-sixth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1997. It was included in The Campfire Collection in 2003 and received a standalone reprint in 2005.

A typewriter that makes the stories come alive? Send it my way; I've got an idea for a novel about a sensitive but roguishly-handsome podcast host that has to battle lusty female demons with big honking naturals.The Blob That Ate Everyone is the fifty-fifth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1997.

The title offers a singular piece of advice, but an unwarranted one. I need not be told to avoid the lure sleep that stalks me like a shadow; the juvenile vaudeville that awaits the reader in the pages of this garish book for children pales in comparison to the mind-twisting dread that awaits me whenever I close my eyes; when I enter the darkness where the empty faces of the poor souls I have wronged scream so deafeningly in their silence, so that to wake up in a cold sweat, choking is a freezing fright is only a temporary respite—a relief itself clouded by the knowledge that when evening comes again, as it always does, and my eyelids grow heavy, as they always do, this ritualist torture of my very being must invariably resume until I wake no longer.Also, I've been working some pretty long shifts at Blockbuster this month so I need to get an early night.Don't Go to Sleep! is the fifty-fourth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1997.

“Nobody calls me chicken.” That's a recurring line from iconic sci-fi/comedy trilogy Back to the Future. Apparently, only the first installment was critically well-received, but I always enjoyed Part II just as much. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that Biff Tannen's appearance and character in that film were based-heavily on then-real estate mogul Donald J Trump. Pretty wild that a decent chunk of Americans that grew up watching that film decided; “Yes; let's give that literal movie-villain the nuclear codes.” Anyway, this book is about a magic chicken or something.

The dream of flying has haunted man since first he gazed upon a seagull and said “hey; cool.” In RL Stine's How I Learned to Fly, this ancient dream is realized by a young man whose talents are subsequently used to promote the openings of restaurants around town. Seems like a waste of potential, but what do I know? I'm still stuck on terra firma (for now).How I Learned to Fly is the fifty-second book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1997.

“Do you want to build a snowman?”So sang one of the animated characters from Disney's hit music-film ‘Frozen', which I had the pleasure of seeing with my girlfriend. Well, ex-girlfriend now. It seems treating a lady to a feature film (and purchasing a small popcorn for her) isn't enough to keep her from deciding she wants space. Of course, what she won't say is that ‘space' is the kitchen counter of her sharehouse with her roommate Duncan who turns out wasn't gay after all. Forget snowmen; she had the coldest heart of all (I don't care though and I never even think about her anymore).Beware, the Snowman is the fifty-first book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1997.

This deals with bullying, a theme very close to my heart. I have been involved in several instances of bullying throughout my lifetime, both as a victim and much more recently as a perpetrator (I'm legally not allowed to discuss it but let me just assure you the little rat had it coming).Calling All Creeps! is the fiftieth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

Do you remember that post-Twilight period where all young adult entertainment was vampire-based? You'd come to school and the girls would be cooing about some pasty fictional heartthrob who lusted for blood but and was still somehow non-threatening enough to be desired. Then it would be up to me, the only intellectual in the room, to explain how, historically, the blood-sucking vampire trope was typically used as a means to represent society's fear of the foreigner and how they may corrupt it while still appearing respectable, with the seduction of innocent women thus having both a literal and metaphorical purpose. And then I would be told to “shut up” and “go back to my own table." Anyway, the point is, I hate my life.Vampire Breath is the forty-ninth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

The grinning jack-o-lantern is a staple of the spooky season, though as a boy I was prevented from ever carving one, owing to my father's contempt for Halloween and all things he deemed American. One year, in defiance, I carved a face into a particularly large sweet potato and left it beside the welcome mat, which enraged my father to no end when he arrived home from work. In his fury, he went to put his foot through the vegetable he presumed was taunting him with considerable prejudice, but as I had actually carved it a week earlier and hit it under my bed until the required evening, he found the usually-firm flesh of the sweet potato give way with hardly any force, causing the power of his step to send him falling completely off balance and throw out a disc in his back. It was the last time I ever attempted to carve a jack-o-lantern, sweet potato or otherwise, but some part of me still believes my vegetable friend injured Dad on purpose. I'm glad he did.Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns is the forty-eighth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

In today's story, RL Stine combines the macabre world of European folklore with the psychological fear of the unknown, presented with elements of semi-steampunk aesthetic. The result is just terrible.Legend of the Lost Legend is the forty-seventh book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

When we were younger, we thought that monsters were big hairy creatures with claws and sharp teeth. Now, of course, we know that the real monsters in the world are things like poverty, racism and environmental destruction. This book deals with the hairy kind though.How to Kill a Monster is the forty-sixth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

We don't really have summer camps in Australia, but we do have school camps. I'll always remember the time all of us students hoisted up Mr Thinglestip in the giant swing, pulling him higher and higher despite his frantic warnings of a "crippling fear of heights" and "severe heart conditions". We all had quite a laugh--well, all of us except Mr Thinglestip, of course! Still, I remember that the memorial service the week after was a touching affair.

Today's spooky episode is primarily about photography, I hobby I eagerly indulged in until I was forced to appear before a magistrate in 2017.Say Cheese and Die — Again! is the forty-fourth book in the original Goosebumps book series, a sequel to Say Cheese and Die!, and the second book in the Say Cheese and Die! saga. It was first published in 1996.

For those looking for a Goosebumps book about the adventures of 90's wrestling icon Bam Bam Bigelow, nicknamed the Beast from the East, I'm afraid your search continues.The Beast from the East is the forty-third book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

Today's episode is focused on young Tim Swanson, who aspires to be a magician. I myself have no time for the mystic arts ever since I was approached by a gypsy man in Rome who claimed to be a street magician but failed to make my wallet and passport reappear. Food was overpriced as well. Wouldn't go back.Bad Hare Day is the forty-first book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

He's back, and he's hornier than ever!! That's right, Slappy, the rude wooden dude you love to hate and hate to love has returned to exploit more preexisting family dysfunction. This time he's set his sites on poor Zane, the anxious cousin of Dan and Trina. I enjoyed this book, because Zane reminded me of the black sheep of our own family, Cousin Dudkis, who wasn't actually our cousin but actually a vagrant who lived on my grandparents farm for years after escaping from a paddy wagon on the way to his trial for what the magistrate would later refer to as "serious acts bovine-related indecency." Despite his rap sheet, we knew Dudkis as an affable sort of character, and it was a sad day when we heard grandpa had accidentally blown his head off with a shotgun after taken him for a fox despite the fact that the incident occurred in the middle of the day and in grandpa's loungeroom. But, as Dudkis would say when pressed to pay rent and board, or at least wear trousers around the house, such is life!Night of the Living Dummy III is the fortieth book in the original Goosebumps book series, and the third book in the Living Dummy saga. It was first published in 1996.

This book deals with the pandemic of shrunken head and jungle magic, which our mainstream media shamefully refuses to cover.How I Got My Shrunken Head is the thirty-ninth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1996.

The Blake siblings have never seen the snow! Well, boo-hoo. Growing up in metropolitan Victoria, I never got to see snow either. The closest we would get was when father let us go to to local sporting pasture after a night of heavy rain and play ‘Bally-Bally Sock and Scud', an extremely-physical hybrid of rugby and Greco-Roman wrestling originally used to settle disputed on the goldfields. I've seen snow since, incidentally, though I'm yet to personally find the appeal (quite cold).The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena is the thirty-eighth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1995.

Come one, come all! Hear the horrific tale of the unimaginatively-titledHill Houe! WITNESS the aging tour guide who clearly hoped he'd be a proper actor! JUMP WITH FRIGHT at the scare he frequent jump scares which turn out to just be cats or other characters or something! ROLL YOUR EYES at the two twelve year-olds who gave themselves nicknames and based their whole personalities on scaring adults that are forced to humor them! BUT BE WARNED; you find what lurks inside the insidious Hill House MILDLY-ALARMING!The Headless Ghost is the thirty-seventh book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1995.

Halloween; for many, it means sugar-filled candypops, spinetingling cinemafilms and racially-insensitive costumes. But for young Steve Boswell, it means confronting the scariest monster of all: the ravages of time. Will Steve return to his youth by night's end? Or will he be confined to a retirement home, complaining about his prostate and how the neighborhood “doesn't feel like it used to” ever since “those other types started moving in”. Find out in Goosebumps #36: The Haunted Mask II!The Haunted Mask II is the thirty-sixth book in the original Goosebumps book series, a sequel to The Haunted Mask, and the second book in Haunted Mask saga. It was first published in 1995.

Today's Goosebumps book is set in a spooky theme park. I've always been fascinated with theme parks and growing up I wanted nothing more than to experience the magic of Disneyland. Of course, vacation destination such as those offered by Walt and Co. were well beyond the price range of my humble Melbournian family, so we had to instead settle for a bi-annual trip to a place called 'Haystacks Albie's Family Park and Petting Zoo' in Cludsdale, located between a water treatment facility and industrial slaughterhouse. Mr. Albie was something of a local celebrity in regional Victoria, having inherited a sizeable fortune from his father, who had developed a new method of castrating rams in the 1940's. The junior Albie announced plans to fulfil his life's dream of establishing a family fun park in 1973 after failing several times in his previous life's dream of being elected more of Cludsdale, owing to a series of unrelated but equally-repugnant sex scandals. Opened two years later after Albie lobbied the government to demolish the retirement village on the land he sought, the park became a moderate success for lower-income families, offering helicopter rides, a slippery-dip and a petting zoo stocked with mostly disease-free animals. Known as a hands-on promoter, Albie would never shy away from milling with the crowds at the park and even operating some of the rides himself, which led to his tragic death and the park's closing following a helicopter crash. Still, fond memories. A Shocker on Shock Street is the thirty-fifth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1995.

"Lawn gnomes?" repeated Mr Scholastic, CEO of one of the largest publishing houses of the United States. "You want to do a book about lawn gnomes?"“That's right,” Robert Stine repeated, holding the other man's gaze effortlessly. “Lawn gnomes. They cause trouble in the garden and get the protagonist in trouble.”Scholastic puffed his cigar. “You're a damn fine children's horror author, Bob; hell, in forty years in this industry, you might be one of the best I've ever seen. But the board will never go for a Goosebumps book about lawn gnomes!”Stine was silent for a moment, picked up his manuscript and stood. “Then tell the board to find another children's horror author.” Scholastic watched him head for the door. “Wait!”Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes is the thirty-fourth book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1995.

As a child, I was never one for sports; while my peers were off playing touch-down baskets or ten-pin jump-up, I was in the safety of my room, receiving a rapturous standing ovation for my one-man version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Cats' from an imaginary audience. No; as I stood upon the school oval, just waiting for the child with severe scoliosis to inevitably get picked before me for kickball, I dreamt violent fantasies of a vengeful creature that would punish those athletic types who always told me to "Try my best", as if it was that easy. Yes; I dreamt of King Jellyjam, and the horrors he would deliver upon them.The Horror at Camp Jellyjam is the thirty-third book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1995.

Filmed, back-to-back with the previous entry, meaning I am still drunk as a skunk for the recording of this one, but when you hear my slurred summary of what is generously-called a "plot" in this hot, spooky mess, I don't think you will begrudge me that.The Barking Ghost is the thirty-second book in the original Goosebumps book series. It was first published in 1995.

Don't let the fact that I'm drunk as a skunk during recording fool you; this one is actually pretty good. It's a classic tale of family, acceptance, and sentient evil puppets. Top stuff.Night of the Living Dummy II is the thirty-first book in the original Goosebumps book series, and the second book in the Living Dummy saga. It was first published in 1995.
