R.L. Stine's creepy series of "young adult" books,
Give Yourself Goosebumps, came to life on television in time for Halloween 1995, with the
Goosebumps television series that was created and hosted by none other than...R.L. Stine! Nine years later, it's back.
On
Sept. 7th, Scholastic and distributor Fox Home Entertainment unleashes four chilling
Goosebumps DVDs, each sold separately at a list price of $9.98 in the US, and CA$11.98 in Canada:
- The Haunted Mask II
- Night of the Living Dummy III (guest-starring Hayden Christensen, who went on to play Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode II and the upcoming Episode III)
- Welcome to Dead House (based on the very first book in the series)
- The Werewolf of Fever Swamp
All four stories were double-length episodes when originally aired, and therefore the DVDs should run about 45 minutes each. Fox is combining these offerings with it's 2004 Halloween promotion, which is mostly made up of film DVDs that have been in release for a while, so these might be found in-stores on a special holiday display. Here's the cover art:
