I remember reading these books a few years ago when I was locked lol. First time since I was in elementary.
I see yall showing love the books, but what about the show? This came on Netflix a few days ago and I've watched a few episodes. Brought back crazy memories. I was never scared by The Exorcist or any of those all-time horror films but the damn opening credits of the show scared me. Matter fact I'm a watch a few before I go to bed lol.
The man in the all black suit walking up the hall with the briefcase opening, the dog, the worms
It's funny how watching it now I'm like I was scared by this. I read that R.L. Stine has sold over 350 million copies.

OMG, my dude....
I grew up with great parents (And they still are), don't get me wrong. But they weren't ones to try and censor things from me as a youngster. I remember being like 5 years old, watching Stephen Kings "It" with my sister. I was all about Jason, and Nightmare, and even more sexual movies like Species when I was growing up. NONE of that shyt ever used to really phase me, I'd watch Freddy cut up some teens and then go sleep like a baby. But this Tailypo story....
This shyt fukked.me.up.I still remember the first time I heard this story, back in elementary school. The school I went to used to run a day care type of thing after classes ended. Me and my brother would have to occasionally go. There was one year in particular where we had to go quite often because of some scheduling things with my parents. Anyways, the daycare teacher read this story to a group of kids, not sure if it's the same book you posted, but it was an illustrated book, and she was a very good reader.
No homo/no sissy/no metaphysics....but for a long ass time, when I was laying in bed ready to go to sleep, I would have this fear that the Tailypo was at the foot of my bed, ready to lunge at my black ass.
Taiiily-pooo, taaaaaiiiiillllyyyyy-poooooo...all I want is my taily-po....

Are they just putting the series back in print or is it a reboot?

Goosebumps were decent books but the show was always better for me. Dunno about you Americans but it was all about Horrible Histories for books when I was at school.

Appreciated...
Goosebumps(and Harry Potter) are the reasons I read...
I swear if there were more books like GB, then WAY more kids would be reading.
