Viewer beware! You're in for a scare!

Goosebumps is an anthology series based on the mildly scary best-selling children's novels by R.L. Stine. While the series is never really all that scary, the entertainment and the nostalgia that it provides is the reason to watch. Most of the episodes follow the same formula: a teenager usually encounters an supernaturally antagonizing force, and must find a way to defeat it.

Goosebumps was a wildly popular Saturday morning Fox Kids show that premiered around Halloween in 1995 and had a successful 4 season run, producing a total of 74 episodes. During Season 3, the show's title became Ultimate Goosebumps, but it was changed back simply to Goosebumps upon the premiere of Season 4. After it ended, repeats were shown on the Fox Family Channel for five years, but when that network transformed into ABC Family, the reruns were axed. Currently, the show is no longer shown here in the United States, but airs on JETIX in the United Kingdom. Several episodes were released on DVD and can be found on Amazon.com, eBay etc. Check out the Merchandise section of this guide to find which episodes have been released on DVD.
