The Fear Street trilogy isn’t the only R.L. Stine adaptation on Netflix. The streamer also has a more kid-friendly horror option for a younger audience. The anthology series Goosebumps, based on the beloved children’s books by the author, ran from 1995-1998.

Millennials, now is your chance to introduce your kids to a bit of childhood nostalgia or indulge in it yourself. Each episode takes a page from Stine’s books and spins a tale that’s scary, chilling, or frightening to the delight of its audience.

Over 60 of the Goosebumps stories were adapted over the course of the show’s run including a few of the book series’ spin-offs. With both the Fear Street movies and the Goosebumps anthology available to stream on Netflix, you’ll have plenty to binge this Halloween season either by yourself, with your friends, or with the kids.

The streamer isn’t home to all film and TV adaptations of Stine’s work, however, it’s the perfect place to get a head start on your Halloween watch list this season as we move toward October 31. And what makes the Goosebumps series great is the fact that it’s an anthology which means you can start anywhere in the show to kick off your scare-a-thon!
