The Classic Goosebumps Series 20 Books Collection Set By R. L. Stine

Product Information

The books in the original Goosebumps series that were made into episodes of the Goosebumps television series were subsequently rereleased in a series called Goosebumps Presents. The main difference between the books in this series and their original publications is that the Goosebumps Presents editions contained photos from the corresponding episodes. 18 books were released from 1996 - 1998. But what really sets Night of the Living Dummy apart is its impact. This book spawned a whole series of sequels and spin-offs, including Night of the Living Dummy II, Night of the Living Dummy III, and even Bride of the Living Dummy. Slappy became such a cultural icon that he’s practically the face of the Goosebumps franchise. He’s appeared in TV adaptations, merchandise, and even in the Goosebumps movies. That’s how big of a deal he is. While staying with his weird grandaunt Kathryn, Evan Ross visits a funky old toy store and buys a dusty can of monster blood. It is fun to play with at first until Evan notices something weird about the green, slimy stuff--it seems to be growing, and growing. Ben and Jenny Renfro are terrified of puppets and they don't know why. It's just been a fear that the twins have shared for as long as they can remember. Yes, they are creeped out by all kinds of puppets, but especially marionettes. Something about all of those wires is extra scary. The twins are determined to defeat their class rivals by winning their school's talent contest. And that means doing whatever it takes. Even if they have to surround themselves by the thing they hate most--puppets! But there is more to these guys than just string and glue. Something evil is hanging around. Will Ben and Jenny be able to take control?

What sets this book apart is its ability to blend science fiction elements with horror. You’ve got these bizarre, almost alien-like plants that blur the line between plant and animal, and it’s all set in the seemingly safe environment of a family home. It’s like the horror is invading the one place you’re supposed to feel secure, and that’s what makes it so chilling. Space-obsessed Murphy Shannon is pumped that his 6th grade class is visiting the Rayburne Observatory. Except, being a know-it-all means he's totally bored with the lectures he has to sit through. So when classmates Orly and Cleo say they should explore on their own, Murphy sneaks out with them. But when they come face-to-face with the strange Dr. Rayburne and his experiments, they realize they may be way in-over-their heads. A grand adventure in space may be in store for them, if they can survive... Lucy Dark likes tormenting her younger brother into thinking that monsters are real – till she learns that her librarian Mr. Mortman is one. The park is filled with attractions that are a little too real for comfort. We’re talking about rides like the “Doom Slide,” where each slide leads to a different, terrifying fate, and the “Dead House,” which is as ominous as it sounds. The HorrorLand Horrors, the monstrous employees of the park, make sure the family’s experience is, well, horrifying. As the Morris family navigates through the park’s twisted attractions, they realize that getting out of HorrorLand alive is a game they have to win.

The book serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of wish fulfillment and the unintended consequences that can come from it. It explores themes of self-acceptance, the complexities of human desire, and the idea that sometimes what we think we want isn’t what’s best for us.

15. Attack of the Mutant (Goosebumps #25)

Lastly, the plot twists are mind-blowing. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, R.L. Stine throws a curveball that leaves you questioning everything. How I Learned to Fly takes a bit of a detour from the usual horror elements and dives into the realm of fantasy, which definitely gives it a different vibe than the rest of the books in the series. Legend of the Lost Legend is the 47th book in R.L. Stine’s original Goosebumps series. The story follows siblings Justin and Marissa as they embark on a quest with their father, a researcher, to find a legendary artifact known as the “Lost Legend.” Their journey takes them through a dense forest in Brovania, where they encounter strange creatures, including a silver dog with a note attached to its collar.

First, they get dropped in the middle of nowhere, and then some creepy creature shows up to say what’s up. Not exactly the summer vacay you dream of, right? In this forest, the trees have faces, and the ground is squishy like a sponge. Before they know it, the siblings are thrown into a deadly game of tag called “The Beast from the East.” In this game, if you’re “it,” you’re the beast, and the stakes are life and death. The rules are confusing, and they keep changing, making it super hard for the kids to keep up. They encounter various bizarre creatures, including talking animals and plants, as they try to navigate the game and its ever-changing rules. The objective? Don’t be “it” when the sun goes down, or else you’ll be frozen into a tree forever. No pressure, right? The original series had 62 books, but Stine has continued writing many Goosebumps spin-offs, including a new series: Goosebumps SlappyWorld.

This one has a special place in the Goosebumps lineup. While it may not be as iconic as Night of the Living Dummy or The Haunted Mask, which we’ll talk about further down this list, but it was still a top 20 Goosebumps book. The book introduced mythical creatures like mermaids into the Goosebumps universe, which wasn’t a common theme in the series. It was also adapted into a TV episode, although the episode took some liberties with the plot. Well, a lot, actually. Due to a mix-up, Gary finds himself not in another person’s body, but in the body of a bee! Yep, you heard that right—a bee. And that’s where the real adventure begins.

This book includes the following graphic novel adaptations: The Werewolf of Fever Swamp adapted by Gabriel Hernandez, The Scarecrow Walks At Midnight adapted by Greg Ruth, and The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena adapted by Scott Morse.

Although this is one of the later books in the Goosebumps series, It Came From Beneath the Sink! was one of the most memorable. It’s a wild ride that combines the everyday life of kids with the supernatural in a way that only Goosebumps can, and it all begins with those fear-striking red eyes on the cover. The story takes some wild turns, and just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, boom! Plot twist. The ending is so Goosebumps—it leaves you hanging and wanting more.
