A little darker, edgier, and more graphic version than the Goosebumps we grew up with. I was skeptical at first but after a couple episodes it grew on me. I'm sure a lot of reviewers watched one episode and decided to hate it too quickly. The acting is good, the special effects are fine, and the stories have a charm to them. It's in no way perfect, and I wouldn't let kids under 12 watch it, but it's still innocent enough with some adult themes going on. I was surprised to see an amazing adult cast and take it pretty seriously. One thing I miss is having any real score as they just seem to use songs from the 90s to convey any feeling.
