![]() ![]() The DVD is marketed for kids, bearing the Scholastic name that young readers know well. What would inspire you to check out "Goosebumps"? Probably fond memories. In any event, I don't think this is something that his involvement as producer would inspire you to check out. According to IMDb, it's not the same guy, although at least some of the Levitan's credits are divided among the site's three separate Levitan listings, so I'm not convinced. I recognize his name, having recently reviewed the Emmy-winning comedy "Modern Family", which a Steven Levitan created with Christopher Lloyd (no, not the Back to the Future actor). I don't know that any big name actors emerged from this series, although I did spot Steve Levitan credited as producer. WidgetsĪnd the acting and visual effects are of the modest variety. The kids wear their layers of flannel and denim. In each installment, we find a boy (and to a lesser degree, his female friend) threatened by a mysterious disturbance. This review covers The Blob That Ate Everyone, which I would imagine is quite comparable to any other 3-episode compilation of this Canadian TV series. Like their immediate predecessors, these discs each bore three episodes, taking their title from one of them. Earlier this month, we saw two new "Goosebumps" DVDs issued, the first in a whole year. By this route, the studio is still gradually getting to episodes unreleased on DVD. Though they could have gotten the whole series out there in four complete season sets, Fox instead took the random episode approach commonly employed on shows whose fans might be reluctant to shell out $20 for a 20-episode collection (but would somehow have fewer qualms spending $10 on a disc of two episodes). Most of the 74 episodes were adapted from Stine's books.ĭisplaying a respect that most studios don't carry for '90s kids' television, producer and distributor 20th Century Fox began treating "Goosebumps" to DVDs back in 2004. Like Nickelodeon's "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" a few years before it, "Goosebumps" was an anthology series designed to intrigue and frighten children. That young adult demographic is the one most likely to remember the "Goosebumps" television series that aired Saturday mornings as part of the Fox Kids block from 1995 to 1998. But '90s kids have grown up and most are still too young to have kids of their own reading the series, so Stine would appear to be off most of his original fanbase's radars. In 2008, Stine debuted Goosebumps Horrorland, which continues to this day, with a 17th book published this month and an 18th due in November. ![]() By 2000, Stine's spin-off lines Give Yourself Goosebumps and Goosebumps Series 2000 had run their course. He cracked Forbes Magazine's list of the 40 highest-paid entertainers in 1996-97 with estimated annual earnings of $41 million.Īlas, like Tamagotchis and pogs, Stine's success didn't extend into the 21st century. For three consecutive years, Stine was America's best-selling author. Stine's series of children's horror books made a huge splash in the literary world. Goosebumps is one of those things that can make children of the 1990s nostalgic. ![]() Single-sided, single-layered disc (DVD-5) / Suggested Retail Price: $14.98 / Black Eco-Friendly Keepcase Subtitles: English for Hearing Impaired, Spanish, French Closed CaptionedĭVD Release Date: Septem/ Episodes Originally Aired December 1995 - July 1997 Running Time: 65 Minutes (3 episodes) / Rating: Not Ratedġ.33:1 Fullscreen (Original Aspect Ratio) / Dolby Surround (English), Dolby Stereo (Spanish) Murkin), Joshua Wittig (Jared), Mauricio Rodas (Manny), David Talbot (Man in Closet), Demo Cates (Carl Summers) Toggle), Brenda Devine (The Ghost), Erica Luttrell (Kim) / Aaron Bartkiw (Larry Boyd), Courtney Greig (Lily Turnbull), Ric Reid (Mr. Carter), Robin McCulloch (Dad), George King (Security Guard), Jason Hopley (Blob Monster) / Ben Cook (Jerry Hawkins), Barclay Hope (Mr. Stine (books) / Producers : Deborah Forte, Bill Siegler, Martha Atwater, Steve Levitan, Patrick DoyleĬast: Scott Pietrangelo (Zack Beauchamp), Gabrielle Boni (Alex), Bradie Whetham (Adam), Marium Carvell (Mrs. Goosebumps: The Blob That Ate Everyone Show & DVD Detailsĭirectors : Randy Bradshaw, William Fruet, David Warry-Smith / Writers : Charles Lazer, Michael Short R.L.
