My Collection of First Edition GOOSEBUMPS Books! (Original Series)

[@m7p22]

Such a cozy channel. Every time I have a bad day I just come here, relax and have fun. Even when I go to bed I am watching your videos. The background music is nice.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you so much!! I’m glad you find this a cozy space 😁

[@achiraashan9988]

​@@LibraryMacabreHi Cameron, I had a bit of a unrelated question but hopefully you'll see this and can answer it for me - I've recently been collecting all of the Ghosts of Fear Street series and came to realize that the books I had as a kid all had embossed covers but some of the books I've bought on ebay recently don't have any embossing! Do you know anything about this? They're all first editions, so I don't understand why some have embossing while others do not. I think book #2 doesn't have any version with embossing but I believe every other book upto #27 should have embossed cover art. I could be wrong though, hopefully you know more about this...?

[@C.O.B.R.A.-tu9dl]

@@achiraashan9988 i can answer that. The unembossed ones are school marker editons.

[@achiraashan9988]

@@C.O.B.R.A.-tu9dl Thanks! That makes sense. There's still some weirdness going on though - I have two copies of Hide and Shriek with different embossing; one only has the text at the top (GoFS logo and RL Stine) embossed, and the other only has the artwork embossed! (text is flat)

[@C.O.B.R.A.-tu9dl]

I can still remember buying Goosebumps books when they came out from Target as a kid. Sadly they all got sold at a garage sale 😅

[@LibraryMacabre]

Oh no! :(

[@ElinWinblad]

Where were the targets at in the mid 90s?

[@taylorwilliams4179]

I regret giving all mine away to a neighbor kid who probably didnt even read them :/ But I bought my 2 most favorite from an Etsy shop. The third Ive had sincr I was a kid and was the only one I didnt give away.

[@Palehotdog]

I was OBSESSED w/ goosebumps as a kid. It’s literally all I would watch and talk about 😂 so my dad being the best dad ever bought me 100 of them. He got em for $1 each on eBay lol. I recently went through them and pretty much all of them are first print. How cool 😬 glad to know I’m not the only one that’s still loves goosebumps 😂💯

[@LibraryMacabre]

Goosebumps rules! So nice of your dad to do that. :D

[@MikeysCreepyCottage]

Cameron coming through with entertainment AND education?!? A true king of booktube

[@LibraryMacabre]

I do my best! 😅😂

[@JustJillianLinnea]

Happy birthday!🎉 I wasn’t allowed to read Goosebumps or Fear Street growing up, now in my 30s I’m reading them to let my inner child know what I missed out on😁

[@LibraryMacabre]

I'm glad you get to live that important piece of childhood now as an adult! :D

[@GlaaiveLP]

Let my friend talk me into donating my collection to a library because he wanted to impress a girl in high school. Thought nothing of it at the time, feels real bad now :(

[@clayclay8678]

Let’s Get Invisible was my first ever Goosebumps book when I was in 5th grade. It still holds a special place in my heart.

[@gpappleone]

Finally someone cares for half price books And I have on of those Gareth Stevens goosebumps books I have the stay out of the basement one I really wanted the say cheese and die one

[@videogamelover2006]

Stay Out Of The Basement Was My First Goosebumps Book And I Didn’t Know What Goosebumps Was Until I Got The Book.

[@cameronroubiqueauthor]

I love seeing the pictures of Cameron in the 90s with Goosebumps books! Totally reminds me of that old meme of the girl in the 90s saying "Ehrmagerd! Gersebermps Berks!"

[@muziksever8367]

We need an updated Fear Street collection as well! You're great

[@LibraryMacabre]

It’s coming!!! ;)

[@nikhilmod]

I still remember , i was in 8th standard and i started watching Goosebumps Tv series and loved it One day me and my dad went to our nearest mall and on a Shelf i saw a Goosebumps books for SALE and got so excited coz i didn’t know there are goosebumps books also , i begged to my dad with my puppy eyes to buy one of them and he agreed and i chose THE GHOST CAMP from the ORIGINALS.. My classmates used to copy me and they also started bringing their goosebumps books to the class to show me, that was kinda hilarious but at that time i felt great😂 I read and started buying other goosebumps books , i know Goosebumps are kinda goofy and weird sometimes but still after graduating from a College whenever i want to feel nostalgic , i buy one goosebumps book coz i love Horror books and i read ton Goosebumps is like a part of our childhood and Thank you Cameron for this Nostalgic ride , loved the lightings and mid commercials❤

[@SlimeAndSlashers]

This video came out so awesome!!! I love your lighting, and the commercials were so FUN! Amazing video, creep! Loved seeing your updated collection 🤩

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you, Kelsi!! I’m glad you like the lighting and all the commercials. I’m already looking forward to making more of these and including more commercials!

[@BABADOOOOK]

Love the shirt. Ghost Beach was always my favorite. Definitely my favorite cover as well.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you!!

[@MMJuggalo79]

Great video! You should give us a list of the books you are needing replacements of. I have like 6 half price books around me that I rotate my way through. It would be no problem to keep an eye out for you. I’m sure others watching would be willing to do the same.

[@SharkyDATGamer2009]

Ghost beach and go eat worms are in the wrong order 21 is go eat worms and 22 is ghost beach

[@azmiecamberos3983]

Hello me again I just want to say I have been supporting for 5 years also cool collection

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you for all the years of support! 😁☺️

[@jewelgrlbarbi]

Totally insane how difficult it is to find later books in the Goosebumps series 😭 I'm still missing #54, #57 - #62

[@Blackkeysfan86]

I actually went on an eBay spree the past month and bought 1-56. The last 6 are much more expensive. Since I don’t really have nostalgia for the last 20 anyway I stopped there.

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

What an awesome Goosebumps collection Cam- it really takes me back to my childhood in the 90's. This was one of my favourite series of books growing up.

[@MyNameIsShaunnn]

the way these book covers and color pallets take me wayyyyyy back to my childhood and bookfairs!

[@MyNameIsShaunnn]

Cam, have you watched the new Goosebumps series yet?

[@LibraryMacabre]

@@MyNameIsShaunnn I watched the first episode, but it just didn’t feel like goosebumps to me. :(

[@gnunez3272]

LETS GO!!!!!

[@2009MovieWatcher]

I love your videos especially the Goosebumps ones. Have you seen the new show?

[@vincentsmith7723]

Loved hearing your insight and memories on the original series

[@justicierodelaliga]

I was never into reading. Funny enough, I remember reading several fairy tales very early in my life. Then, when I was between 8 or 9 read a Winnite the Pooh book. After that, random comics every now and then when I was in my teens. In my Sophomore year I found several of the Goosebumps books at my English teacher classroom and read them all. Loved them. ...after that it was the Harry Potter books. Since then, I barely read books. I´m into comic books (DC) and some mangas. Have read the Song of Fire and Ice books and that´s about it...oh, and IT. Still, I really like watching/knowing about other people´s collections. More so when there are books and into themes. So glad you own that collection.

[@AG-hx6qn]

Did you play the wii game for the goosebumps horrorland game? XD I know it's not the same, but yeah. Lol

[@LibraryMacabre]

I did!! It was a fun game. :)

[@ronaldokatwaroo]

Woohoo! A brand new Cameron Chaney vid??? And on Diwali too??? Oh today's gonna be a good day! 😅 Awesome video as per usual Cameron, much love from Trinidad 🇹🇹

[@AnemicLeader]

I was really lucky to have found werewolf skin with the mask in good shape and the last monster blood at the goodwill for 2.50 each.

[@star-bit]

Grew up with alot of the books even the orginals even though I was born In 2004 my local library had almost all of the books

[@bicofire7390]

No one is paying those prices 😂

[@gpappleone]

I actually have the say cheese and die 2 copy with the bookmark and cards. But the cards fall out when I open the book but the bookmark was still in there so I kept a hold of those cards

[@LibraryMacabre]

Nice!! 😃

[@Blackkeysfan86]

Thanks for explaining how to spot the first edition. Turns out I have quite a few of them. Say Cheese and Die being the oldest. I’m a little older so I remember when the abominable snowman from Pasadena being about where I lost interest but the covers are so amazing. Jacobus’s illustrations and the color schemes with the textured lettering is just perfection. The scholastic marketing team was amazing.

[@wellingtonsantos7326]

Cameron, I loved your video and wanted to suggest a video just from the Nightmare Hall series by Diane Hoh! 😉😉

[@LibraryMacabre]

Yes!! I still need to do that. I’ll try to get to that before the year is through :)

[@mrmortman6107]

Can you guess what my favorite Goosebumps book is ? Lol I would also love to see a reading vlog for these books.Ive thought about re reading this series I'm order because there are a lot of these book I don't remember a lot about like the scarecrow walks at midnight and goneat worms.

I actually have a first printing first edition of The Girl Who Cried Monster with the sticker announcing the bookmark (Sadly no bookmark though) and to my knowledge, the Goosebumps wiki states that that is how you know if it is a true first printing first edition

[@NotSObored188]

I just thrifted a RL fear street book it's actually good and it's giving nostalgia, hope to buy some more to read for October 🎃 I remember reading them in school , I couldn't wait for library day I still remember how the bookshelf looked , they weren't super tall and we had tables in the middle were we wud sit and wait for everyone to pick a book , then we'd sit in the carpet and they wud read a book to us

[@ashworld1016]

My favourites are welcome to deadhouse, Headless ghost, Ghost beach etc

what got me into goosebumps as a kid were the halloween costumes I saw on the front Target ad newspaper. I wanted the Slappy costume so obsessed with it but I never got it. Original covers are always better though. My first book I owned was Vampire Breath.

It’s the 90’s, your parents give you $10 bucks to spend at the little book fair in your schools library and you walk up on the shelves with crisp, glossy, and creepy but cool covers that have the title Goosebumps written on the header…your choice to pick just one becomes so difficult but you go for the scariest title and picture you see..placing on your shelf later on to just marvel at all of the other titles but not wanting to damage the spine or its gorgeous colorful cover you pick up a book that you bought and think to yourself as you run your fingers across the letters, “buyer beware, you’re in for a scare”
