Ranking All 62 Classic Goosebumps Books!

It's been a long, long time since I started this channel, guys, and I want to take this moment to thank every single one of you for all of your love and support, all this time! You guys rock, and so does the Goosebumps community! Thank you for having patience for me to finally finish this series--especially after all of the requests you all had for me, over the years. I appreciate each and every one of you for sticking around, and I hope that this video comes as a thank you to each and every one of you, after so long.
God bless you, and thanks for watching!

Hey, Michael. I’m so happy ‘Ghost Beach’ is #9 on your list. ‘Ghost Beach’ is definitely one of the most underrated books of the OG62. Yes, the book has its flaws, but it’s still a very solid read overall. To anyone reading this comment, please listen to what Michael says about ‘Ghost Beach’ and try to give it a chance. I promise you, it is not as bad as the community makes it out to be, especially if you’re a fan of urban legends, like myself-

[@JNB0723]

Yeah, I love the vibe to this one. Storytelling was pretty good, and I enjoy the twist. It's decently unique, too.

[@Chicaeditz]

Ghost Beach is my favourite, my 2nd Favourite is the Original Night Of The Living Dummy

[@BookishDrummer]

I remember this one being one of my favorites, definitely has one of the best covers too

[@user-jo4vg3jk2z]

havent read this yet but i hated the episode

I'll still regularly go back and watch a random goosebumps episode because it reminds me of being little again.

I enjoyed legend of the lost legend a lot. But stay out of the basement is a book I always hated. Out of all the books I have read I might put it in the last place ( it's a fan favourite right ? It's quite popular but it's not for me. Plant horror is not my thing )

Back in the day, in English class. We'd have to occasionally pick a book out of the library to read and write a book report on. Which I didn't really like having to write book reports. But then one day I found the library had a bunch of Goosebump books, which I was already reading. So I'd just write my reports on Goosebump books, which didn't really feel like homework.

For me the first 3 books that I purchased were - Curse of the Camp Cold Lake, Werewolf Skin and Don't Go to Sleep... I bought them from the Scholastic subscription that my school had... and fell in love with the series(partly because I found the cover engaging and enjoyied the art of reading in general)... I have read a lot of Goosebumps since then..and the best that I can remember that I liked were - Curse of the Camp Cold Lake, Ghost Camp, Ghost Next Door, Haunted beach.

Totally agree with Ghost Beach! I got a lot of backlash back in the day for loving this one, thanks for being one of the very few who agree with me!! I loved it! Great storytelling, great atmosphere build up and good ending! 100% agree with Ghost beach in top 10.

[@Ceridwen-mu7wd]

Ghost Beach is great.

[@jordancruse5614]

I, too, don't understand the hate towards "You Can't Scare Me!". I genuinely thought it had one of the best build ups! Even though the "villains" don't show up to the very end, the way the story was executed was brilliant and how the "climax" of the story finally ends up scaring the girl... and everyone else at the scene. Perfect. Love the list. It's so hard to do a Top 5 because I love most of these books in very different ways. That's what makes them great. Top "something" as of this moment in no order (changes all the time) are: - Lets get Invisible! - You Can't Scare Me! - Ghost Camp/Welcome to Camp Nightmare/Horror At Camp Jellyjam - Night of the Living Dummy 1 & 2 - One Day At Horrorland (Although I could easily squeeze Say Cheese & Die, The Girl Who Cried Monster, Piano Lessons Can Be Murder, The Haunted School, Stay Out of The Basement, Welcome To Dead House, Shocker On Shock Street, Don't Go To Sleep!, Headless Ghost, and Attack of The Jack O Lanterns in here as well.)

[@anotheraussiegoosebumpsfan]

Hey, Michael, For me, my most favourite goosebumps book, and favourite book of all time, is definitely, without a doubt, Ghost Camp. It's so fun and eerie, I just love every aspect of it. Camp books for me are my favourite type of Goosebumps books and this book just hits it right. I don't think, even though I do love The Haunted Mask 2, The Horror at Camp Jellyjam and One Day at HorrorLand, that many books will come close to Ghost Camp for me. The Camp atmosphere of this book makes me feel like I am inside this camp, like I'm Alex with my sister on the bus and I have to sing when I get nervous. Ghost Camp and all the other Goosebumps books that I've read have inspired me to write my own full novel that kind of has the same kind of feel as Goosebumps, too. Thank you, Michael. God bless you and I hope you keep doing what you're doing. Can't wait for the cover ranking video! Much love from Australia! (Also Top 5): 1. Ghost Camp 2. The Horror At Camp Jellyjam 3. One Day at HorrorLand 4. The Haunted Mask (The Haunted Mask 2 is tied in fourth place for me, I literally can't choose between the two.) 5. You Can't Scare Me! Worst 5 (For me): 1. The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb 2. Chicken Chicken 3. Monster Blood 4. My Hairiest Adventure 5. Legend of the Lost Legend

I'm fine with how "I live in your basement" uses a dream sequence. It builds the plot and adds to the mind twisting of the overall story. It's when they are used as a jump scare or are extremely obvious that turns me off personally.

Be Careful What You Wish For is actually a personal favorite of mine. I know it's objectively not nearly as good as a lot of the classics like Haunted Mask, Stay Out Of The Basement, or Say Cheese And Die, but it's still got a certain, I don't know, quirkiness, I guess? that I really like. Camp Jellyjam is great too, especially the ending reveal.

I loved the Goosebumps books as a kid, but thought that Are You Afraid of the Dark was a better TV show than the Goosebumps TV show.

[@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934]

I hear people my age say that so often. I’m still not sure which one I like the most-since I spent more time with Goosebumps instead of AYAOTD. Both are so much fun, at the end of the day!

[@colt5189]

Back in the day, I was out riding my bike. And I came across an abandoned car on the side of the road that had the windows rolled down. A Volkswagen Beetle. And the back seat was filled with Goosebump books. There were lots of doubles. I came back the next day and it was still there. So I dug through and grabbed all the books I hadn't read yet and took them home. I read them and returned them. But that car sat there for many months and eventually the books all disappeared. Which fair enough as the books started getting ruined from the rain.

[@buckdown1658]

Watching this is making me wanna reread a couple old books. I have all my original books I got in the 90s, and I'm having a hard time picking which one to read. Ghost Beach, Say Cheese and Die, Haunted Mask, Haunted Mask 2, and The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight. Those are my top 5, and I have read any of them since like 7th grade (1997). My wife is going to clown me for reading these.

you cant scare me was a great book its really underated

[@TheBibleLibraryStar]

I find it hard to rank the books. The ones that really stuck with me are the girl who cried monster, piano lessons, werewolf of fever swamp. I loved both haunted mask and attack of the jack o lanterns. As a youngster I remember the ghost next door, ghost beach, and the cuckoo clock of doom really making me scared. I liked be careful what you wish for and was surprised you ranked it so low. I agree with your ranking of ghost beach in the top 10. It’s hard to dethrone the haunted mask but if I had to choose a number one besides that I would actually say piano lessons can be m-rder was that book. I can still hear the piano playing softly and see the ghost swaying in the moonlight. That’s the one I remember. The title made me feel like I was really reading something naughty as a kid. Of course looking back it’s a totally innocent book but it’s a very provocative title for a kids book for sure. My least favorite book? My harriest adventure. We both agree on that one. Horrible book. And it’s funny it came right after the most underrated book attack of the mutant. Should have done attack of the mutant 2

[@bhargavpathikonda5375]

I read one day at horrorland in the comic adaptation

[@meganshaw1949]

The cover of A Shocker On Shock Street always reminds me of the Universal Studios theme park. And the cover of Deep Trouble always makes me think of the opening scene from the movie JAWS while it’s really a book more about Mermaids and it’s plot is more similar to the movie Splash.

I watched it and I liked it. I haven't read it yet but can't wait to either.

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

No way I can fit my whole ranking here lol, I have a document for it but youtube eats links so I can't share it lol. I'll just leave a few comments about all this: I have My Hairiest Adventure in the middling ones, it's okay, it's decently written and has proper foreshadowing and a fun/silly twist and the metaphor is kinda interesting but it's boring and doesn't really do anything with it. My bottom is Monster Blood 4, easily. Just insulting, has all the problems of Monster Blood and amps them up, so terrible all the way through, and it being the last just makes it worse,. The other MB sequels are close by as is Say Cheese and Die Again, now that one's insulting and awful in other ways. Be Careful what you wish for i put as positive, we talked about this before, I liked it. But I like It came from beneath the sink more,. that one's just straight up good. Monster Blood 1 is alright, compared to the sequels it's amazing so I can't be hard on it, it's fine-ish. I love Andy and some of the Monster Blood stuff. Other rough ones for me are Go Eat Worms and Bad Hare Day, then there's Revenge o0f the Lawn Gnomes which is boring. Deep Trouble 2 is in my lesser area, just dumb but Deep Trouble 1 is quite up there, pretty good. Legend of the Lost Legend is another near my bottom, really dumb. My Best Friend Is Invisible is another especially bad one. As far as better ones go, I like the Dummy stuff fine but I only love the second one really and 3 is my least favorite of the og ones, a let down with a bleh ending. My top 3 are Haunted School, Haunted Mask and Welcome to Camp Nightmare (the twist is great, i can write an essay on that lol), love all 3, and their placements have changed over the years. Other favorites include How to Learned to Fly, Calling all Creeps and Stay out of the Basement. That's my top 5 basically, really good ones. Outside of those, there's Ghost Camp and I Live in your basement as top 10s. Curse of the Mummy's Tomb is not good but Return was a decent improvement. Sequels in general are usually not the best in these, Haunted Mask 2 I find to be just okay, a letdown frankly, fairly flawed with a bad dumb ending lol. Ghost Beach I like fine, it's just that not much stands out about it. HorrorLand I like but it's never been a big favorite, love the episode though. You Can't Scare Me isn't all that good, it's not bad but it was just dull, too much slowly paced pranking, the episode is quite good though, such a big step up. Shock Street i find meh, too random. Alright, I think that's it, good look at everything here, bad and good. Feels weird for you to finally be done with the og 62 after so long. That's it, the end.

I think when people rank Haunted Mask over Haunted Mask II, they are thinking more of the TV episodes. The TV version of Haunted Mask was the best one of the series hands down while Haunted Mask II TV version was just ok. Carly Beth is hands down the best child protagonist in Goosebumps history.

[@kdubexterminator24]

I recently got into reading these again as an adult as I was obsessed as a kid and wanted to see how they would hold up. The most controversial thing I’ll say about one book in particular that everyone hated was that, chicken chicken, isn’t bad at all. I want to do a ranking of my own someday and I have to admit it probably be in the top half and not the bottom lol.

I’ve only read books 1-36 I don’t think I will ever really read the rest I’ve sort of grown out of it

[@nicp2344]

My first ever goosebumps book I git was because of the cover and imo was the best, Say Cheese and Die. The atmosphere and the setting was really spooky and it's the most adult of the series as it's the only book tht I can think of where someone actually dies (thought they should have sprinkled more of taht in, but I'm guessing censors?). Also that book was actually a dedication to the TZ episode one unusual camera.

[@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934]

Say Cheese And Die is such a good one-that’s quite a book to start with, as an intro to Goosebumps hahaha

[@nicp2344]

@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934 did that evey happened again where a character died? You've read more than me.

[@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934]

@@nicp2344 Oh, absolutely! You should read Wanted: The Haunted Mask! That was one of the most brutal deaths I’ve ever seen in anything! Lol

[@zyn87]

That's my #1 such a good book. Hot take: welcome to dead house sucked!

[@civoreb]

Top 5 for me in no particular order: The Haunted School Welcome to Camp Nightmare Shocker on Shock Street The Cuckoo clock of Doom The Girl Who Cried Monster These had the best twists for me back in elementary school.

Hey Michael can you do a episode ranking if all the tv episodes god Bless

[@afxapocalypse9479]

God willing you if you can do it will you rank every single book ever released

[@stephanmoyer560]

I like how alot of people have very different top 5s but i loved "dont go to sleep" it hit me hard as a kid sad it got lower then monster blood

[@Sea_Bound]

“Who likes that piece of crap” 😂

[@MAN_300]

A reflective ranking video would be cool. For example, elaborate on why a title stays at the ranking, moves down, or moves up the list.

[@MrWimpie1]

I love a shocker on shock Street

[@TheIgnoredGender]

5:10 LOL I see what you did there

[@CooperTheGoosebumpsGuy]

😂

[@blockfrog]

Wow these originals are hard to find? I grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s and have all the original goosebumps books. And even some of the gysg ones

[@johnblackrose]

I actually havent read any goosebumps books in a long time. The 4 i remember imo had to be the best. Night of the living summy, haunted mask, ghost beach, it came from beneath the sink. All other books i dont remember until i see them and i vaguely remember reading a specific part but thats it lol. The others actually terrified me

[@cellblockpsycho5819]

I've been meaning to do a video like this myself. I'm just too damn lazy. Lol

[@user-Jack3425]

I remember reading ghost beach the first day I got it from the library it’s very good idk why people hate it so much I will say this tho the episode is not the best anyways great ranking!

[@JuBeeZ106]

I was a complete scaredy cat as a kid, so I can count the Goosebumps books I've actually read cover to cover on one hand. But I liked the TV show 😅 Also I completely agree with your opinion on the end of Welcome to Camp Nightmare. I remember my family made a bunch of jokes about those episodes and we were FLABBERGASTED, to say the least

[@michaelgoosebumpsfan9934]

I’m glad that I’m seeing more and more people come around to the idea that the ending of that episode is so freaking lame lol. The book and episode are so good, and actually kind of frightening, but that ending is horrid, and I still see people try to defend it. It’s such a cop out to just throw something at the audience that was never foreshadowed or anything. It’s totally lazy, and it may be one of the worst endings in Goosebumps history for one of the best books in the series hahah

[@amandadunseith7928]

Unpopular opinion but the very first Night of the living Dummy is my favorite. It was the one that creeped me out the most even though Slappy isn't really the main antagonist and he is my favorite goosebumps villian. My second one would have to be One day at Horrorland which ended up surprising me because I really disliked the episode so figured I would dislike the book as well
