In October of 1995, a Children's Horror Anthology show was released upon the World, and it quickly broke records. For the next three years, Goosebumps, based on the Best-Selling books by R. L. Stine, would dominate the Kids’ TV Landscape, setting a trend for Horror and changing what entertainment looked like for young viewers. Then, just as swiftly as it came, it vanished, relegated to reruns and the memories of the viewers who had now outgrown it. But in the three decades since, its status as a Leged of ‘90s Kids’ entertainment has been reinforced, and the world of Goosebumps has expanded into feature movies and a reboot series.  

Writer and Film critic Luna Guthrie Chronicles the birth, life and legacy of the Goosebumps TV show, talking to producers, directors, writers, actors and many other talented creatives who brought it to life. With exclusive interviews, never-before-seen photos and fascinating behind-the-scenes recollections, the team behind Goosebumps reminisce about their time making one of the most impactful pieces of ‘90s Television, and what exactly made it such a special time in their personal and professional lives.
