Wow, RL Stine, what a blast from the past! My sister and I loved his Fear Street series and used to read those books one after another when we were in our teens. I can remember my younger brothers really loving Goodebumps as well. Wasn’t there a TV show called goosebumps based on the books too? I never knew he wrote these horror comics, how awesome. The illustrations, colors and layout look amazing. Cool to see the artistic differences between the different illustrators. Really enjoyed this review! :-)
There was indeed a Goosebumps TV show in the 90s that I LIVED on. Absolutely loved that show. Fun fact: a young Ryan Gosling stars in the episode Say Cheese and Die.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I grew up reading R.L. Stine except I didn't realize it until I was an adult. I used to get his Jovial Bob Stine humour books through Scholastic and it wasn't until I grew up that I realized he was also the Goosebumps guy.
Yes he started out in humor for Scholastic, I believe he wrote for a magazine called Bananas. I read somewhere that humor was his real passion but he kinda stumbled into horror because the response was so strong
@@anotherbooktubechannel I think he edited Bananas at some point. I would sometimes get second hand copies or Mad, Cracked and Bananas from cousins and my feeling at the time was that Mad was the best, Cracked was weak sauce and Bananas was for kids (I mean, littler kids than me.) But I loved How to be Funny and Don't Stand in the Soup.
