The Complete Give Yourself Goosebumps Series

They need to reprint these, they're either rare or expensive

I remember all of these, not necessarily reading them all, but looking at the covers for hours.

[@Naltddesha]

It’s crazy to think how much the cover art probably contributed to these books’ success

[@x-Abraham-x2]

Dude I'd kill to have all 50 books. Great collection!

[@therealcollector85]

Thank you

[@llems1484]

Yes. Same with me. I just recently purchased the complete set of the original series (42 books). I'm still checking where I can buy the 8 special editions. On top of these, I also have the complete 184 choose your own adventure books, which is quite similar to give yourself goosebumps but more related to adventures. Finally, I'm still waiting for my shipment of complete Choose your own nightmares. I am a fan of these type of books. Great collections The Real R.L. Stine Collector. Kudos.

@@therealcollector85 Can you please put all your Give Yourself Goosebumps books on the Internet Archive? There is already almost half of them there, but not the others.

These are very hard to come across, since they’re all out of print, minus one that DID get a reprint, that being “Please Don’t Feed the Vampire!” which got a tie-in reprint to coincide with the first theatrical film. The rarest ones tend to be the Special Edition books, which are extremely hard to find online, as is the case with all of them, minus the aforementioned reprint. Fun Fact: Tim Jacobus, the original artist for the Goosebumps series, illustrated the very first cover. However, the artist who took over on book #2, Mark Nagata, had replaced Jacobus. Then, on book #25, another artist, Craig White, who used computers to make the illustration, had taken over afterwards. Another thing some people don’t remember hearing about, and, likely because this was something nobody had that much information on at the time, was that Craig White had illustrated a cover, but the book, to this day, remains unpublished. Crazy story, huh?

I actually have special edition book called revenge of the body squeezers I got it very cheaply it's a rare book

[@SirBopALot]

@@prestonwithasideofshrimpco1258 Ooh, nice find! I recently got Return to Terror Tower, actually. That ended up costing me $89.52, believe it or not. I bought it because A Night in Terror Tower is my absolute favorite book in the Original Series. Attack of the Mutant is a close second.

Interesting videos. I am a fan of R. L. Stine, and you clarify so much of all of these different series.

[@therealcollector85]

I'm glad you are enjoying them

[@alexalgerbra5386]

Fun fact: The only book from this series to get a squeal is Escape From The Carnival Of Horrors. Also the books from other series to get squeals in this series are A Night In Terror Tower, and Invasion Of The Body Squeezers. Pretty cool.

[@videogamelover2006]

All the living dummy books, ghost camp - return to ghost camp, Zombie School - Why I Quit Zombie School.

[@MattsMediaMadness]

Another awesome video man.

[@Justsomerandomguywhocomments]

I know a lot of people don’t really praise these books that much, but you’ve got to admit the artwork for these is really great. I even heard a funny story about how Mark Nagata was told to make sure the beakers on “deadly experiments of dr. Eeek” did not look like condoms, there’s also a reference photo he did of himself for that book and it’s kind of funny.

[@therealcollector85]

I'm gonna have to go back and look at the cover of that book more closely lol

[@ThetrueCosmicKaiju]

I personally really loved the series and how it looked before the newer covers starting with zapped in space. The artwork with the original series just looked so much more eerie and left the mind really wandering.

[@Justsomerandomguywhocomments]

All day nightmare’s cover had me a little confused at first the first time I saw it. You see, I thought it was a werewolf wearing a long jacket which was actually the tree I was trying to climb.

[@puertoriconnect4611]

Goes to show how much that original cover artist draws you in. The newer ones need to have a really good hook on the back to interest me whereas the older ones all look dope to me.

[@MmaSmarty87]

#3 Trapped In BatWing Hall was my very first CYOA book. However goin back and reading it as a Adult, the writing is not for mature eyes

[@therealcollector85]

@@Otakulifeforme I completed my collection about 3 or 4 years ago. Ive been holding off on doing goosebumps collection videos because I feel like KZbin is full of them. I wanted to focus on R.L. Stine's other books first when I started my channel.

[@Otakulifeforme]

The Real R.L. Stine Collector make sense

[@ultimatedesingers]

That first one was awesome!!! I'd love to read all of them!!!

[@SirBopALot]

What’s your personal favorite? My favorite is Little Comic Shop of Horrors, probably because of the comic book theme. A close second is Danger Time, because of the mythology and time travel themes. I also thought it was really interesting with the over-the-top and sometimes gruesome bad endings those books tended to have. They got away with a lot back then.

[@therealcollector85]

Honestly I didn't get to read a lot of these when I was younger. I know I read Escape from The Carnival of Horrors a lot when I was younger. Back then I wanted to read the entire book and get every ending the book had to offer. Hopefully once my son gets a little bit older I can read more of these books with him.

Kind of wish you would’ve shared your thoughts on each of the books.

[@therealcollector85]

Personally I wasn't a big fan of the give yourself goosebumps books, I enjoyed the normal stories better.

[@Justsomerandomguywhocomments]

@@therealcollector85yeah, these books would give options that I would never make in real life. But then again the target audience is 7-12. Some of these though I think would be more 13+, especially zombie school. If you’re wondering why, then look into that one to see what I mean.

[@Justsomerandomguywhocomments]

Who thinks that some of these concepts would work better if they were done in the regular stories? If you know what I mean.

[@martinspindler3191]

What are the top 5 scariest books from this series? (The more mature horror)

[@therealcollector85]

@Martin Spindler I honestly can't answer that question. When I was a kid, I think I only read about the first 10 books or so. I didn't care too much for this series, I didn't like re-reading the same story over and over. Yeah, you had multiple endings and different outcomes but the books did have you running around in circles a lot. I would rather read a book straight through and be done with it, then move on to the next book. If you check out some other channels like Brandon Sime or Josh Reviews Incorporated, they could probably give you a better answer than me.

[@martinspindler3191]

@@therealcollector85 Thanks man! I appreciate it. I can totally agree with you. Back in the day I had a few book from the series "Choose your own adventure" maybe 5 or less and I only red 3 at most because the same thing you had said. I never knew the existence of the give yourself goosebumps until 5 years ago. since I loved the goosebumps original books as a kid, I was thinking about seeking a couple of the gibe yourself goosebumps to read and I wanted to know which ones would be a good pick out of all of them. Thanks again! Cheers!

[@therealcollector85]

@@martinspindler3191 Yeah when I was younger I thought I was such a fan that I would read each book until I read every ending. I figured out real quick that wasn't easy to do. But R.L. Stine has been doing "choose your own adventure" books since back in the 80's. He wrote books for Indiana Jones, G.I. Joe, and also the Badlands of Hark and Invaders of Hark, which were game books, even though the books had multiple endings, there was only one correct path to read. I'm actually working on an audio book for his Twist-a-Plot book The Time Raider, using time stamps to jump back and forth through the story. I probably won't have that uploaded until the beginning of 2021.
