Reading All 62 Original Goosebumps Books in 1 Month Will Ruin Your Childhood 🎃

[@GavinReadsItAll]

I get the camel joke now 😂 To follow up on this video, I have now posted my ranking video where I rank every Goosebumps book in the original series from worst to best, as promised in this video, so that you can see which books are my favourites and least favourites, and everything in between: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onPJkqt5hNx0pKM

[@IsaacDeJong]

Be pretty neat if you did a format like this for Animorphs, which is released under Scholastic as well, and is a significantly better book series aimed at children.

[@KholEllsworth]

Okay so I loved this video. Not even made it was 3.5 hrs long. Could you do the The Nightmare Room series by R. L. Stine? Those books are super fun.

I think these books show just how far middle grade has come. Kids can enjoy nuanced themes, fleshed out characters, and good plots! Who knew?!

[@GavinReadsItAll]

100000% agree with this. Children's books in the 90s are sooo different to what we have now. We love to see the progress

[@AcademicType616]

It would wouldn't it, if Christopher Pike wasn't a thing. Just so happens that nuanced themes and fleshed out characters just didn't sell as well

[@libbyhanzlik3110]

@@AcademicType616 I have never read any Christopher pike but looking at how well written middle grade today is and how well received the books are I think it's safe to say fleshed out characters and nuanced writing sells just fine. Kids are not stupid, and it's sad that it took decades for this industry to realize it.

[@Octorawk]

Cuckoo Clock of Doom is one of the few Goosebumps books that, as a kid, I thought had a genuinely happy ending. The sister was just tiny Satan incarnate. and I remember being 1000% down with her being erased from existence. Especially since the protagonists life immediately improved by not having her in it (like when the spell reverses they go through all the moments she fucked with him and her not being there turned them into legitimately happy memories). "It's A Wonderful Life" but reversed. And if her and the parents behaviour is still as infuriating as I remember it being, I'm totally still willing to stand by 9 year old me's assessment that the kid getting deleted was a net positive for all involved. But I'm also an only child so hey what do I know?

[@lynntownsend100]

As someone who was tortured by my 2 older brothers on a daily basis (With my psycho mother's blessing) to the point I CANNOT have contact of any kind with them now because I get so triggered...you can't convince me that "getting your abuser that you can never escape from erased from existence" is anything but the most awesome of endings!

[@civoreb]

When I came to the states from Bosnia in 1997, Goosebumps helped me with English and got me into reading. Stay Out of the Basement was my first one I read. It also introduced me to twist endings which was mind-blowing to me. Appreciate this video!!

[@AmericanWireman]

This is an awesome story. Thank you for sharing

[@nekochristmas]

For the "how do you get down" joke here's the explanation: DOWN is also a NOUN that means FEATHERS. In English, many PILLOWS are made of DOWN. So, you can't get feathers from an elephant/camles, (what ever animal you use for the set up), you can only get them from a bird, and DOWN feathers, usually refer to those from a duck or goose.....I hope that helps

[@dudeist_priest]

It helped me, thanks!

[@_gremlinboy]

I was looking for this! I actually remember spending a long time as a kid obsessing over that joke until it clicked for me, but when he told it I realized I'd forgotten it again 😅 I think the problem is that we try to find the play on words in the animal names, when it's the word down that has the double meaning

[@UncleMazzy]

Ah! I’ve always heard the joke, how do you get down from a duck? You don’t! You get down from a goose! Still a terrible joke, even as a dad joke.

[@Cesly-mo3uf]

Thank you. 30 year old mystery solved.

[@CrimsenOverlordVideos]

To duck also means to get down low. So you get down by ducking. A triple meaning.

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

The nitpicker in me saw the British cover and immediately went "For a given value of "original", anyway." I've read Say Cheese in the British version, and one of the characters calls someone a "bloke". I figured I needed to find the American ones after that. I have PDFs of the original Goosebumps and 2000, as well as physical copies of Graphix, Give Yourself Goosebumps, 2000, and British and American versions of the original run. This is beginning to sound like a brag, but I will rarely get another organic chance to talk about Goosebumps again.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Love it, I'm glad you can gush about Goosebumps! Not a great deal of people talk about it on KZbin so it's great when someone does!

The goosebumps books I always liked the most as a kid were the “give yourself goosebumps” a choose your own adventure-style story. Those are pretty cool, but it’s hard to summarize the plot. Unless you make a chart of every choice. There are usually 20 endings to each, some of them being incredibly stupid.

[@Jogjosmowwdkfs]

I always tried to be safe and those pages called me a scaredy-cat and told me to go back

[@hannahblespecter5325]

I'm a simple man, I see Goosebumps in my recommended, I click. This was the first series I read by myself as a kid. (I picked up The Ghost Next Door because a character had my name!) I fell in love with it. I've been trying to collect all the originals again over the years. Say Cheese was my favorite. I LOVED the fake cliffhangers. I HATED the Gotcha moments. I also hated how none of the characters in any book seemed to know what the word "jerk" meant and always seemed to call people that at the weirdest times. (The hamster in monster blood was a jerk bc he ran on his wheel??? I guess??? Like hamsters do???)

[@h4jlk790]

there’s a stand-alone book- not technically goosebumps, but by R.L. Stine. it’s called “The Beast” and it’s based off a roller coaster in my hometown. as a kid i thought it was the scariest shit ever.

I have found it so enjoyable seeing them through the eyes of an adult.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Best of luck doing the throwback Thursday! Thanks so much for watching 🥰

[@hoodedavenger254]

I remember very vividly a page from dead house that actually genuinely put terror in my heart, there was a page were our main character looks up her stairs and sees a kid standing at the top of the stairs, and if I recall she at first thinks its her brother ans yells at them but they don't respond they just stand there and stare at her. I think the book also began to describe how she noticed the kid looked off like he was green and rotting I think and something about the visual of this rotting child similar in age to our character (and readers likely including myself in this case) just actually scared me enough to close the book for a short period

[@bradenwickstrom5618]

Down is a type of soft feathers that used to be used in stuff like pillows and sleeping bags. Its usually take form either geese or ducks. You don't get feathers from a camel, you get them from a duck

[@Pacothehamster]

Thanks so much for the monumental effort it took for you to read this entire series! I never read them as a kid -- I was too old by then -- but I read a bunch of them recently, then stopped -- just couldn't take the constant false cliffhangers, etc. -- but now I have a few more to read that I can be pretty confident will be worthwhile based on your recommendations. I also appreciate the important points you make regarding body image in these books. Children's lit has certainly come a long way in the generation since these were written.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you so much Miriam! Yeah the focus on body image was so off putting, but fortunately there are still some rare gems in the Goosebumps series, and the ones I ended up loving again are the ones with the least amount of body-shaming and false cliffhangers, so I hope you enjoy those ones too!

I read some 20 books in a month last year and I absolutely loved them. Of course the writing is very basic and the characters are almost copy paste soulless people from each other, it can get quite repetitive... But I still found them great. Some books are really well crafted like The Haunted Mask, there is some very nice, suspenseful moments like in Night of The Living Dummy and even some emotional moments as well like in The Ghost Next Door ("summer always seem to be slower when you are dead. Maybe that's why no one awsered my letters", something like that). Not to mention the twists. Most of them are pretty good, like Shocker on Shock Street. Of course Middle Grade came a long way since the original series, but Goosebumps will always have a special place in my heart, even more so now that I discovered they are still at least good as an adult.

there has been, many times in my life-- especially once i had my own money, that i thought about buying all the books in the series that i didn't own. i think i have like, 6? & they are not in any kind of order. i know i have dead house & the snowman book, be careful what you wish for & the first deep trouble as well as a couple of the choose your own adventure books, which were always my favorite as a kid but i never stayed in goosebumps long. i think i started reading them around 1st or 2nd grade then got into the fear street stuff b/c goosebumps wasn't scary enough for me. i've started reading them to my kids around halloween & im glad i found this video ( i found it shortly after you posted it, it just took me about 2 weeks to watch the whole thing! ) b/c i was thinking about buying them up. glad i didn't b/c i think i would have LOST IT judging by your slow decline... i think i'll watch your full ranking video and maybe pick the top 10 or 15 to buy for my own collection & save myself some money & a lot of headaches. great video! this is the first i've seen of your stuff but i plan to peruse your back catalogue!

Down from a duck as in the soft under feathers. Like a feather-down pillow. 🐪🦆 Loving the reviews so far! 😍

[@RaphaelleLD]

also I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this but to me you look like a mixture of James/Robert Welsh and Lin-Manuel Miranda! I love your energy and your sense of humour.

I really like your goosebumps videos Gavin would you ever review the goosebumps most wanted or slappyworld series

[@isabellavalentine7268]

Wish I had seen this when I was eating my lunch a few minutes ago, would have been perfect! Very excited Gavin

[@EviLittlefoot]

Loving these reviews! I wish I could tell 8 year old me all the things you’re talking about with bullying and fat shaming and all that. I really hate that Stein seems to be perpetuating all of that being normal too. No wonder I had a hard time standing up for myself. ☹️

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Aw Lara sorry to hear that but also same, wish I could have told my 8 year old self the same things 💙 sending hugs

Im surprised of how Goosebumps still has an impact to this day. Its nice.

When I was in elementary school in the 90’s I use to get a month subscription that had a goosebumps book as well as a magazine. Sadly the books went to my cousin and I have know idea where they are now.

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Aw man, shame you don’t have them, but wow love that you got the magazine!

[@christinar.7955]

The Haunted School was my favorite Goosebumps book as a kid! I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what your review was, and I'm so glad you liked it. I'm 23, but I might have to buy and re-read that one again sometime.

[@colonelsanders4937]

So sad to hear you didn’t like The Werewolf of Fever Swamp. Honestly I’d be scared to reread it as an adult cause of my nostalgia glasses. I loooooved it as a kid

[@MammaB1120]

OMG it was my favorite

[@lynne8559]

Applause to you and your sanity 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾 I hope this gets so many views because of your dedication 😂

[@GavinReadsItAll]

Thank you so much 😭

[@davidmaggiesmith9758]

When you were talking about the Stay Out Of the Basement episode, I pulled it up on Netflix. I paused it and waited for the end of the review. I PAUSED it. It just turned back on.

I loved the Goosebumps series as a kid. I lived for them. They inspired my love for writing, reading and all things horror. I have one question though...what are these book covers??? In Australia we had these iconic scary covers but these ones you're showing are far from scary, they're just...bad. I know book covers can vary from country to country but these weren't the original covers released over in the UK (where I assume you reside judging based on accent). They have to be re-release "new covers" right?
