Viewer Beware! The Goosebumps TV Companion

Ever played with monster blood? Slipped into a werewolf skin suit recently? Or discovered a ghost living next door? How about ventriloquist dummies? Have any warm and cozy feelings about those creepy little things? Didn’t think so. In 1995, R.L. Stine’s best-selling children’s horror stories were brought to the small screen with the live-action Goosebumps television series.
