I started watching Alexandra recently and she spoke of you, I clicked on a video and immediately started followed you a couple of weeks back. I was talking to my partner today about you as you’re a “local lad” to us and found that funny from how I’d found your channel. As soon as he heard your name he said “that’s Gavin, the person I’ve talked about from college, the person who’s book I have.” He’s spoken, over the years, about how kind you were to him back for that short time (especially against people who were nasty about his stammer), and how pleased he was that you were going for your dream, and proud he was. I can’t believe how small the world is!!!!
Oh my gosh Helen hi! Thank you so much for telling me this. I can’t tell you how happy and emotional your comment made me. I remember James (if it isn’t James you’re talking about, I’m gonna feel very embarrassed haha), and college was such a rough time but James’ friendship was one of the few shining lights from that time in my life. I am so touched that he even still remembers me, and I hope he’s been well. I’m proud of him too in whatever he’s been up to! Seriously, the fact you found me through Lexi too really does show how small and amazing this world is, I still can’t believe it. Please tell James I hope he’s happy and that you’re both doing amazing 🥰
@@GavinReadsItAll it is James, I’ll let him know. He’s spoken about you often over the 10 years we’ve been together, he was very excited to see your channel
Since you're at the end of your Goosebumps material, you should look into the Creepover series by PJ Night. They're aimed at a similar audience and there are 22 books in the series. They all revolve around some kind of creepy sleepover but they're all in their own world and the characters are not connected. There are some where the creepy bits were a dream or something but for the most part they're either left open to your interpretation or are left creepy. I've been reading them for the past couple of years, I've only got FOUR LEFT! I'd love to see how you feel about them in comparison to Goosebumps!
Love this series! Hope you'll tackle the Fear Street series as well, those were some of my favorites, and geared towards a slightly older audience than the og Goosebumps
Yes! Ive been waiting for the conclusion of this series. Sadly, no r.l.stine :< maybe you could do House of Shivers when thats done? Love the vids man, hope u can keep up the great content!
Any desire to rate the TV show episodes? I know it’s harder now that it’s off Netflix and you’re more of a book person anyway, but would love to see that added to your itinerary!
This series got me reading again after nearly a decade without. Thank you for making these! I’ve actually read along the last two complete series. We’ve gotta make ‘give yourself goosebumps’ happen. Everyone should chip in their old books for the cause 😂. Also you’ve gotta give me credit for the 3 lives thing. Ps. Monster blood is back was my favourite slappy world book 😳
Oh 100% you’ll get credit for the 3 lives thing if I get my hands on the full series, I’ve got you written down in my notes haha it’s honestly such a genius idea
Yay!!! That's it!!! You did it!!! It's over!!! The wait is over!!! YOU FINISHED THEM ALL!!!! (For now!) * Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now, I don't have to read ANY OF THEM beyond what I read as a kid, since these books scared the daylights out of me 😅. * I saw your series post. I think you're going to have a great time. If you want to dive into the series world consistently again, there are plenty of books/manga that you'd enjoy. I'm thinking Cursed Princess Club, Everworld, Fullmetal Alchemist, Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys... I'd love to see you do an Ascension of a Bookworm vlog. Those come in either light novel OR manga form. Would be neat if you got both and compared them. * All in all, great job Gavin! Loved this!
You know you're getting old, when you read about a someone suggesting spending the night in an abandoned mansion and the first things you think about are "where is the permit?!" and "don't the parents have jobs?!" 😂 (No hate, though, I am a year older than you 😉)
It's been a joy getting these each year, thank you Gavin! I'll join in some of the others in hoping that you do more of Fear Street. Some of his strongest books are there, imho, but also some really bad ones that will amuse you and a few that are just kind of stunning in how out there they are (I'm forgetting the name but One Evil Summer, I think? it has a psychic girl who is like Carrie in it.)
I can't believe you're finally done! And of course the Monster Blood one was the worst! But the mention of Slappy's Wikipedia page had me looking it up. Apparently, RL Stine cowrote a short story about Slappy with two other authors, as part of an anthology with the gimmick that it's a "face off" between popular thriller characters. I'm now curious how Slappy fits and was received, given how consistently juvenile Slappy as a character has been, and this is meant to be a collection for adults. Although the story is called "Gaslighted"...
Wow! Congratulations on getting through every major goosebumps series! 🎉 That was truly impressive vlogging. I hope you now have some time to read just for fun. I mean, I know these types of videos are fun for us and important for your channel but I would be exhausted, if I were you! 😅
I think you're going to like the Goosebumps Disney+ show. Without spoiling the plot I'll say, it's elevated from the source material. It's as much for the 'old kids' as it is for the 'new kids'. BUT, the final episode hasn't come out yet so, anything could happen 😉
That's where the show series comes in they do that where their teenagers and a little mature not too mature where is Glory but mature enough so you'll probably like it
I'd love to see what you think about the Fear Street books, R.L. Stine's more teen-targetted audience books, and how they would compare to some of these stories as well.
I have enjoyed the new Goosebumps show. And I grew up watching the 90s TV show. And Slappy is like the Joker of the Goosebumps world. You don't know his real origin story. I love your Goosebumps videos. I am doing a STINETOBER this month and have been reading Stine books.. 🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻👻
I know Bob’s audience is Middle grade mostly, but he’s written YA horror too. Amping Slappy up to that level & using power to “dummy-(y” his owners’ loved ones as “punishment” (and give him better jokes, seriously watch Jeff Dunham) might bring some life back into him.
For the choose your own adventure books, maybe you could do one video per book you have? Then you don’t have to wait to have all of them. And if those books are like video games where your choices matters, then you can do three runs with each book in one video. Like the first time you read you choose what you want as normal, then after you finish you do it again but choose different options or only the best, worst, crazy/weird options 🤗
i give you credit for getting through all of it , i did make it as well,,,,and vloged on it ,,,but most were real tough to finish and the rest had horrible finishes.
I think Stine repeats ideas and plots for new generation of kids. I dont think many kids will go seek out a book from 1992 and more likely will go for a flashy new more accessible cover of a new series.
As I mention a few times in this video, the Give Yourself Goosebumps books are a spin off series that I don’t own and are very expensive online to collect so it’s unlikely I’ll be able to afford them to read them unfortunately
@@GavinReadsItAll Do you think you could possibly be able to find them online? I'm not sure they are available online I haven't checked but I thought I would ask anyways
@@ellieizcool979 as mentioned, they are very expensive to collect online, especially individually, as sellers are sometimes charging $100 for one book alone, it’s really hard to get them all
@@GavinReadsItAll Ohh. I didn't know they were expensive ONLINE as well. I thought you were just talking about the physical versions. Thanks for telling me
I love your series a lot and have some suggestions for something to follow this up on. I dont know how available they can be but theres some goosebumps knock off type series that could fill the void. Theres things like Deadtime Stories, Shivers, Graveyard School, and Bone Chillers! As you mentioned as well, The Give Yourself Goosebumps books would be amazing for you to cover, but theres also two books called Triple Headers and the Tales to Give You Goosebumps books that are collections of short stories. I just would love to see you cover even more middle grade (even tho it feels lesser) "horror" books. Nonetheless keep up the amazing work and I cant wait to see whats next. Edit: Forgot to mention 90stalgia did a good video on the Rare & Forgotten Goosebumps Rip-offs that could be a useful guide of sorts.
I do agree with you about the jokes being bad, but I can't stop chuckling at 'you know what's nice? When you leave the room and it smells better' 😂
I agree, it's kinda like they are so bad, and so annoying they are funny lol.

I need to look up that series. Never heard of it.
Love this series! Hope you'll tackle the Fear Street series as well, those were some of my favorites, and geared towards a slightly older audience than the og Goosebumps
I’ve been so excited for this ever since I got back into Goosebumps
Yes! Ive been waiting for the conclusion of this series. Sadly, no r.l.stine :< maybe you could do House of Shivers when thats done? Love the vids man, hope u can keep up the great content!
No R.L Stine cosplay Intro sketch? Sad 🥺
Any desire to rate the TV show episodes?
I know it’s harder now that it’s off Netflix and you’re more of a book person anyway, but would love to see that added to your itinerary!
3:39 "monster blood is back, even though i wish it wasn't" LITERALLYYYYY 😭
There has been so many stories about monster blood. Even in horror land.
OMG 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊yesss. Gavin you're the best 😃your Halloween vlogs are my fav!! Feeling a bit down lately but your vlogs always cheer me up
This series got me reading again after nearly a decade without. Thank you for making these! I’ve actually read along the last two complete series. We’ve gotta make ‘give yourself goosebumps’ happen.

omg!!! got new goosebumps books yesterday not for Christmas but i got slappy birthday to you and friiight night!
Love this series cant belive its over!! Any chance of a video that shows all the books from worse to best?
I think I enjoy Goosebumps more as an adult because I apricate them more. Great video. Thanks for sharing. :)
Yay!!! That's it!!! You did it!!! It's over!!! The wait is over!!! YOU FINISHED THEM ALL!!!! (For now!)

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Now, I don't have to read ANY OF THEM beyond what I read as a kid, since these books scared the daylights out of me 😅.

All in all, great job Gavin! Loved this!
this entire series is just slappy effing around and finding out lmao
anyway hell yeah, i love seeing the annual goosebumps reviews! :D
You know you're getting old, when you read about a someone suggesting spending the night in an abandoned mansion and the first things you think about are "where is the permit?!" and "don't the parents have jobs?!" 😂 (No hate, though, I am a year older than you 😉)
I have those thoughts all the time lol. Wait, does that mean I am getting old? lol
I appreciate your sacrifice! I really hope that you can eventually find some books that you love by the end of year though ❤
It's been a joy getting these each year, thank you Gavin! I'll join in some of the others in hoping that you do more of Fear Street.

I haven't seen it yet, But am excited to watch it. :)
Aww, yet another amazing video!! Thank you! ❤
came here from your reading sprints posted 3 days ago... had to see how the video turned out!!
That's where the show series comes in they do that where their teenagers and a little mature not too mature where is Glory but mature enough so you'll probably like it

Started watching the show its really good for a remake. It has a great generational storyline.
I Swear Gavin Is The Biggest Goosebumps books Hater 😂 but I still love him
The funny thing is I try not to be 😂 but OG Goosebumps will always be the best and my fav
1:12:50 there is one its called welcome to camp nightmare 😂😂😂
Hey gavin or anyone who knows, will you be continuing the berserk series?
Also i love the way you say "goosebumps books" lol
I started watching the new goosebumps show… I’m only 4 episodes in and I honestly can’t tell if I hate it or like it 😂
If you have a big library system near you, they may have the Give Yourself Goosebumps. I just discovered my library has them as ebooks!
Ahh the GOOSEBUMPS!! My childhood!! 😆😊

Good to hear your perspective on the Slappy series. I think my expectations were too high. thanks for the in-depth analysis. Free Palestine! :)
1:25:26 Gavin Said They Call Me The night Squawker
omg as a kid I was TERRIFIED of Slappy!! I seriously had recurrent nightmares about him and was so scared that he would find me one day.
These are my favorite videos!!!!!!
i give you credit for getting through all of it , i did make it as well,,,,and vloged on it ,,,but most were real tough to finish and the rest had horrible finishes.
Lol, that video title 😂
Love the video! Just curious what are the 5 Give yourself Goosebumps do you have?
You should do fear street rl Stine's teen/young adult horror books
Pls tell me you're going to read the goosebumps choose your own adventure series of books!! Those were my favorites!
1:22:20 You should change your username to How to Train Your Gaaavin
Will you do fear street?
I think Stine repeats ideas and plots for new generation of kids. I dont think many kids will go seek out a book from 1992 and more likely will go for a flashy new more accessible cover of a new series.
I thought the TV show was pretty good
Do you know where I can stream it?
Don't forget the pick your own adventure books!
