Before there was 'Stranger Things' or 'Black Mirror,' there was the GooseBumps series. This series had it all. There was every single type of horror stories you could imagine, but all with a very specific twist that made them feel different than the typical campfire stories we'd all heard before. Owning all of these books wasn't an aspiration, it was an inevitability. Kids went crazy for these books. Myself included.
They made the books into a television series, and even though I enjoy it as a guilty pleasure, none of the episodes match up to the books. You can't really expect an entire book to go into thirty minutes of television (twenty two with commercials) and do it well. Plus, it wasn't a very high budget show, so I don't think it ever had a chance.
