Maybe it’s because I didn’t watch it regularly as a kid – maybe it’s just because I’m able to now recognize just how bad a writer R. L. Stine is – but I just find Goosebumps absolutely cringeworthy. I watched a few episodes months ago; it was hard to sit through them.
I remember the books still being pretty popular in my schools throughout the mid-late 2000s. I finally picked one up in fourth or fifth grade, and I couldn’t stand it.
I did enjoy reruns of the TV show. I had no idea it was actually trying to be scary, it was funny to me. Haven’t watched it in years, now.
