My 7 favorite Goosebumps books to read on HalloweenReader beware, RL Stine will give you a scare!
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of the master of horror; RL Stine. I am a collector of his works and I still enjoy re-reading his books. My fiancé and I have a tradition; every time the power goes out we break out some candles, a flashlight and read from a Goosebumpsbook out loud. Goosebumps was my favorite childhood book series until I was old enough to graduate to the scarier Fear Street novels. My huge Goosebumps collection was then passed down to my younger sister when she was old enough, almost like an heirloom or a cherished family treasure. I remember the day I found out my mom had sold all of my Goosebumps books at a yard sale. I thought I’d never forgive her! What I loved the most about a Goosebumps book was the unexpected plot twist at the end. These incredible and imaginative stories helped shape my taste in literature for the rest of my life, as I now enjoy books like The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. Goosebumpsallowed my imagination to flourish and taught me that there is nothing wrong with being a little weird.
It is very hard to pick my favorite RL Stine books, but some of them just scream Halloween. This is a list of my 5 favorite Goosebumpsbooks to read on Halloween. These are some of the most spin chilling, scariest stories in the series to revisit. Do you want to get into the Halloween spirit? Pick up one of these at your local used book store or on Amazon.

If I was forced at gunpoint to choose only one Goosebumps book as my favorite then this would be it. Say Cheese and Die is a classic! A story about a killer camera- I love it! I'll never look at my Nikon the same way again! Not to mention the Goosebumps TV show episode based on this book starred a young Ryan Gosling!
