Opening the minds doors at such a young age and that.One of my favourites was The Blob That Ate Everyone about a wannabe novelist who found an old typewriter that made whatever he typed come true, problem was he made a horror story about a belligerent man eating blob lol. By the time he realised there was a blob on the loose it was too late 🙁

Perhaps they’d be worth rereading just to mock but if you’re wanting the excitement and fear it use to induce I’d preserve the memories lol.

Have you seen Goosebumps on tv?
and the intro was with the guy walking with the briefcase while the “Goosebump” letters were haunting the town and turning everything that crossed it’s path evil
April 25, 2013 at 5:38 pm #1272393I would probably advise against reading books, they can lead to open mindness syndrome
