Goosebumps #26 My Hairiest Adventure
This is the Goosebumps puberty entry. It’s a topic 10-year-olds don’t want to read about, but maybe puberty can be scary. I remember this book being one that I wasn’t really into as a kid. Hopefully it’s better in retrospect. In this extra awkward Goosebumps entry, we’ll find out if this adventure is merry hairy,…

Goosebumps #25 Attack of the Mutant
This entry of Goosebumps introduces superheroes and supervillains into the mythos. While this doesn’t fit the usual horror-based stories told in Goosebumps, maybe R.L. Stine can show some comic book knowledge. For those who aren’t aware, according to Stine he was a fan of comics when he was younger, including E.C. Comics. This review will…

Goosebumps #24 Phantom of the Auditorium
This entry of Goosebumps has R.L. Stine writing his version of the Phantom of the Opera. This book is a play on a classic. I think this book has great potential. I hope I don’t get too drowsy from a potentially operatic Goosebumps book. Synopsis: There’s a phantom at the local middle school in Woods…

Goosebumps #23 Return of the Mummy
This entry of Goosebumps is a sequel to The Mummy’s Tomb. The first book was pretty weak, but maybe the sequel will be better. However, this review did take eons, so maybe it’s not that great. Either way, a mummy is returning, unless I’ve been click baited by R.L. Stine. Synopsis: The book opens with…

Goosebumps #22 Ghost Beach
This entry of Goosebumps offers another ghost story. So far, every entry with ghosts have been solid, which makes me hopeful for another strong entry in the series. I’ve never heard of ghosts having their own beach, but if they do, I wonder if their summer activities are truly haunting. Synopsis: The book immediately opens…

Goosebumps #21 Go Eat Worms!
This entry of Goosebumps is one that I remember quite vividly from my childhood. I also remember this being the first entry I owned growing up. However, I think this one may not hold up as well. In this review, I’ll see if any characters go eat worms, I’ll be disappointed if this doesn’t happen…

Goosebumps #20 The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight
This entry of Goosebumps brings in an often-underutilized horror monster, scarecrows. This is one of those entries that sets itself apart from many of the others in a lot of good ways. After this, I’ll be heading out on a midnight walk, potentially with some scarecrows. Synopsis: Jodie and Mark have just gotten off a…

Goosebumps #19 Deep Trouble
This is the first Goosebumps entry that doesn’t feel like a Goosebumps entry. I would describe this book more as an adventure or fantasy type story than horror. However, this book may still bring some deep trouble. Synopsis: Billy and Sheena are visiting their uncle, Dr. Deep. Wow, these names get better with every book,…

Goosebumps #18 Monster Blood II
This entry sees the return of Evan and Andy, as well as introduces two iconic characters to the Goosebumps series. First, Conan, who is a recurring villain in the Goosebumps series. The second, Cuddles the hamster. Somehow, this hamster became famous and a mascot of Goosebumps, despite other villains being more iconic, interesting, or better…

Goosebumps #17 Why I’m Afraid of Bees
This Goosebumps entry takes a somewhat unique idea and proceeds to make me ask why would you write it like this? I didn’t remember this one at all and after reading it, I think I’ve already forgotten half of it. Since this book is all about bees: What is this? Oh no, not the bee…
