Reader Beware, You're In For A Challenge : How Well Do You Know Your Goosebumps Cover Arts?!

Photobucket

When I was a youngster, RL Stine was as good as God in my book; a man that was never seen and yet delivered utmost joy and happiness into my life. Burying my head in Goosebumps books got me through many a day of torturous grade school and I will always be thankful to RL for that. Those books will forever occupy a special quadrant of my right ventricle and I look forward to the day when I can usher my future children into the world of horror through Stine's writings. Don't get your hopes up though Jen, that day is still very far away, barring any unforeseen accidents.

If you're a lifelong Goosebump'er like myself, I issue a challenge to you tonight, a challenge that will test your true fandom of the book series and force your mind to travel back in time to your formative years. I've excised small portions of the iconic imagery from 10 different original Goosebumps books and I challenge you to name as many of the books as you can, using only those small slivers of awesomeness as your guide. In doing so, keep in mind that these are only from the original covers of the 62 books in the original Goosebumps series.

Leave a comment with your answers and good luck!!

Ok lets give this a shot:

1.) Cure of Cold Lake
2.)horror at camp jelly jam
3.)It lives in the basement (or it came from the basement?)
4.)Beware of Snowmen
5.) You Can't Scare Me
6.)Beast from The East
7.)My Hariest Adventure
8.)Calling all Creeps
9.) Attack of the Mutant
10.)Werewolf Skin (or Werewolf suit?)

This was a lot of fun my friend! I grew up on these books and idolized the cover art. My very first book was the Scarecrow Walks at Midnight. My mom gave it to me at a birthday dinner at a chinese restaurant. I'll never forget that!
