Goosebumps episode 7 breaks with the show's formula and references author R.L. Stine's most experimental, inventive Goosebumps spinoff in the process.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary In episode 7, the 2023 Goosebumps series finally references author R.L. Stine’s most inventive and unusual spinoff novels. The Goosebumps books have spawned numerous screen adaptations over the years. In the ‘90s, Goosebumps became a horror anthology show for children while the book series was at the height of its popularity.
The Goosebumps books also went through a lot of different iterations over the years. Goosebumps began life as a series of only 62 books. While this might seem like a high number, Stine’s prolific output means that many readers remember the series including a far higher amount of novels. This is largely because Stine also wrote various spinoff series including Goosebumps Series 2000, Tales to Give You Goosebumps, Goosebumps Horrorland, Goosebumps SlappyWorld, and Goosebumps Most Wanted.
While the original Goosebumps novels and their spinoffs were mostly straightforward horror stories, the Give Yourself Goosebumps spinoff was a “choose your own adventure” style series that allowed the reader to decide the fate of the main character. Written in the second person, the Give Yourself Goosebumps books usually featured at least one happy ending, but they also always had a lot of dark fates in store for readers.
Why The New Goosebumps Show's Formula Is Better Than An Anthology While the original '90s Goosebumps show was a fun anthology series, its episodic nature meant that its standalone outings were never able to combine the villains of various novels. Meanwhile, although the light-hearted live-action movies made use of R.L. Stine’s many memorable monsters, they featured none of the menace found in the original books.
