This is a lovely addition to my Goosebumps collection, and I feel Scholastic really did a fine job with the whole design. The books inside the Tin are "Night of the Living Dummy", "One Day at Horror-land", "The Haunted Mask", "Welcome to Dead House" and "Say Cheese and Die". They have the original covers from the 1990's and the book designs are the same, except for the fact that the Goosebumps titles lack the tradmark "bumps"...just flat title. Other than that, original books from the 90's. Very happy with this product and I hope Scholastic continues to release more original Goosebumps title with the cool artwork. Not a fan of the new reprint artwork, not as scary.
I read these books when I was a child, and now my almost 7yr old is in love with Goosebumps. It started with the TV show that's on Netflix, then the movie came out and I took her to see it. I purchased this as a Christmas present. Although she's not at the reading level for the books themselves, it's a perfect way for us to share the interest. The quality of the tin and the books is perfect, other than not having the raised lettering on the book covers, and I was tempted to keep the set for myself!
I was lucky to fall into book #1, Welcome to Dead House (included here), when it was released in 1992 and continued collecting Goosebumps from there. After collecting and obsessing over them for 3 years or so, I sold them to a friend who begged for my collection. Haven't read Goosebumps since then, though the memories remained. Needless to say, I had to order this when I accidentally stumbled upon it. Perhaps the failure to resist that nostalgic temptation could be turned into a Goosebumps story of its' own!The tin is your typical collector's tin with a removable lid. The logo and ooze on the lid are embossed. The underside of the tin has a cool black background with a G formed in splattered green ooze. Overall, it looks great and adds a little something to the experience. The original 1990's covers are intact but the raised lettering on the Goosebumps logo is not here. Not a big deal. There are sneak peeks at newer Goosebumps releases in the back of each book. As for the stories: All of the books included here were among my favorites and seemed to be popular with my friends too.The only fault that I can think of is a minor one: The book numbers on the original 90's releases were important for completing your collection. Unfortunately, the book numbers are nowhere to be found here. However, I've compiled the original information for the curious:1 - Welcome to Dead House (July 1992; 123 pages)4 - Say Cheese and Die! (Nov. 1992; 136 pages)7 - Night of the Living Dummy (May 1993; 132 pages)11 - The Haunted Mask (Sept. 1993; 121 pages)16 - One Day at HorrorLand (Feb. 1994; 123 pages)NOTE: The page number totals are for the releases in this tin. The originals had slightly fewer or slightly more pages (Most likely related to the font size, etc.).This should please collectors, and newcomers are in for a treat!
I ordered this Goosebumps collection for my 7 year old son. I really didn't know what to expect as I myself have never been a Goosebumps fan. I was very surprised to see that this collection came with 5 full books. It seems like it is a collection of the most popular books. My son is so extatic to won and read it. He also loved the tin tgat came with the books. It holds the 5 books but it could be used for other treasures too. I feel like I really scored on this one as the price was great and what I got exceeded my expectations. Score!
Someone gave this to me as a birthday gift and I was thrilled to get it!If you loved Goosebumps growing up and would love to have some of the classic books with their original covers (the original are still the best), this is a perfect buy. Plus you get a very fun, retro box to keep those beloved books in.Overall, a worth buy for the original GoosebumpS fans!
The overall package is nice and mostly what I was expecting. As a 28 year old who read the books as they first came out 20 years ago, it was great to travel down memory lane.Only a few complaints:- The cover titles are flat instead of the raised texture on the original prints. One of the best things about the originals was the bumpy cover!- The books no longer have the numbers on the side, though I can understand how this might confuse people today. It just won't add perfectly into a collection of the original 62 numbered books, if that's your intention.- I noticed some small changes to the writing itself in Welcome to Dead House. The birth and death years found on tombstones were changed to be 16 years later than the original book. Knowing the book was first printed in the 90s made it odd to read a death year of 2004. Maybe this helps new young readers but I didn't like the idea that the original text was altered.
This collection is the perfect gift for the newest generation of Goosebumps readers or as a collector item for those of us who worshipped the series back in the '90s. It includes 5 iconic books, with original cover art, and a really cool tin to store them in. I bought 2, one for myself and one for my nephew. We both love it.In honor of the new Goosebumps movie I revisited many of these books and found that they hold up quite well. Aside from kids still using landlines and helplessly without Internet, the characters are as relatable as ever and the adventures are just as exciting. If you're afraid the lacking technology will be off-putting to your young reader, you might check out the Horrorland or Goosebumps Most Wanted series which are both more recent. In case you were unaware, Stine still pumps out new Fear Street and Goosebumps books every few months and they are just as good as the golden days. Check 'em out :)
