Who used to read these as a kid? Which ones can you remember or which one was your favorite?
I can only remember a handful, but my favorite used to be the one with the Ventriloquist dummy that would kill people... At least I think he killed people...or was it he intended to kill but never got a chance too? Whatever, the ventriloquist dummy one.

I remember those! HA HA. My mum actually dug them up from the attic for my little brother to read, because he needs things to read for school.
The first one I ever picked up was " The Werewolf of Fever Swamp." I grabbed it because it had a wolf on the cover and I love wolves, lol. And it was always my favorite. The other ones that stick out in my mind is Monster Blood II(prolly cuz my brother was reading it) and the Carnival of Horrors.

When i was like 7, i used to watch the t.v. show.(too lazy to read the books) The show scared me so much. I dont remember too much of it, except for the "Slappy the Dummy" episodes. Gave me freakin nightmares for weeks.

"The Werewolf of Fever Swamp" was the first one I read too and I picked it because I liked wolves too. Hehee. I read it in one day...and I always loved it. :)

I remember Goosebumps. My friend who is a talented artists would draw those scary looking G's almost perfectly. There were only a few episodes and shows that scared me. I found others kinda odd.

I still read them! I love the ones were you can chose what you want to do in the book. You have two or more choices of what to do and they tell you what page to go on. They're awesome. ^_^

Yeah, I remember those. I remember everyone in my second and third grade classes reading them all the time, and me never doing it. I though they were completely stupid and idiotic, and still think that today. I'm just not a fan of anything related to horror. Too unrealistic at times.
I did actually read one though. Don't remember which book it was, but I didn't enjoy it.

I remember reading those books in 2nd grade!! I liked cuckoo clock of doom and something horrorland. I only read the original ones, by the time they had those newer ones i lost intrest in it.
I also hated the endings...those stupid cliff hangers, almost always pissed me off.

How I got my Shrunken Head, Say Cheese and die 1/2, Welcome To Dead House, and Monster blood. Monster blood is THE BEST!!

OMG! I used to LOVE goosebumps! My brother and I used to watch the show all the time. I guess the scariest one was the one about the mask. I also liked the one about the kid whose aunt gives him a shrunken head, say cheese and die, and the one about the worms (that one scared the hell outta me).
R.L. Stine also wrote a pretty good book, if you're into that kind of thing. It's called Halloween Night.
Actually, R.L. Stine is coming near my town to meet people in four days. My mom thinks he's too scary though, so I probably won't go.

dont you remember those books which would be like:
"If you want Billy to go down the stairs and investigate the sound, go to page 50"
"If you want Billy to stay in his room and whimper in the corner, go to page 114"
"And if you want Billy to kill himself because he's insane, go to page 92"
Those were awesome coz u could make up your own storyness.

Just the name Goosebumps rekindles fond memories of my childhood. I loved R.L.Stine. Loved. He should have kept writing goosebumps, instead of the crap he writes now.
I read EVERY Goosebump book, and I still have them at home somewhere.

This is really weird, because I've only ever read one Goosebumps books. It was the one with the huge monkey in the lab coat on the cover of it. They never interested me. I was an Animporphs girl. XD Now those books kicked ass.

I was alaways a fan. I think my favorite was It Came From Beneath the Sink. It was about a girl who found a bad luck potato under her sink and couldn't get rid of it. She tried to bury it, but it ended up sucking all of the life out of her yard.
