Goosebumps (TV Series)
''Goosebumps'' is a children's anthology horror television series based on R. L. Stine's best-selling book series of the same name. It is an anthology of stories about tweens and young teens finding themselves in creepy and unusual situations, typically involving supernatural elements or the occult. Production ''Goosebumps'' was filmed largely in the Canadian province of Ontario, with different houses and historic properties in Toronto, Markham and other outlying rural areas serving often as the sets for each episode rather than constructing artificial houses and buildings. Canada also provided a more affordable filming location and an aesthetic that could double as American while maintaining ambiguity in terms of location and setting. Props for the series were designed by Ron Stefaniuk and Alan Doucette, while Stefaniuk retained many of the animatronic props at his own studio after ''Goosebumps'' was cancelled.

Give Yourself Goosebumps
''Give Yourself Goosebumps'' is a children's horror fiction gamebook series by R. L. Stine. After the success of the regular ''Goosebumps'' books, Scholastic Press decided to create this spin-off series in 1995. In fact, Stine had written gamebooks in previous years. Fifty books in the series, including the "special editions" were published between 1995 and 2000. All of the books in the series, with the exception of ''Please Don't Feed the Vampire'', are now out-of-print. General plotline For the most part, play is rather simple, as the books are merely novels with branching plots. The books are written in the second person and enlivened by puzzles or choices. Rather than being simply from beginning to end, the reader is told to turn to a certain page at the bottom of the current page, at certain pages the reader will be given at least two choices of which page to turn to, depending on what they want the main character (one's self) to do. If the reader makes poor choices, the bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Goosebumps Series 2000
''Goosebumps Series 2000'' is a spin-off of the original Goosebumps series by R. L. Stine. The cover design of the ''Series 2000'' books was different from the original books, though the cover art was again by the same person, Tim Jacobus. There was no back tagline anymore, and the paragraphs at the back were excerpts from the book rather than a short summary of the story as the original books' back covers had. There was another difference with back covers too, as the "Reader Beware, You're In For A Scare!" of the original series was changed to "2000 Times The Scares!" and "Welcome to the new millennium of fear". Only 25 books were printed because of a dispute that R.L. Stine had with Scholastic. A 26th book, called "The Incredible Shrinking Fifth Grader" was planned and while it was canceled, Stine retooled it into a standalone book called "The Adventures of Shrink Man". The main subject of the covers, the title, and R. L. Stine were printed in raised print, something only ''Goos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Best-selling Books
This page provides lists of best-selling individual books and book series to date and in any language. ''"Best-selling"'' refers to the estimated number of copies sold of each book, rather than the number of books printed or currently owned. Comics and textbooks are not included in this list. The books are listed according to the highest sales estimate as reported in reliable, independent sources. This list is incomplete because there are many books, such as ''The Count of Monte Cristo'' by Alexandre Dumas, ''Don Quixote'' by Miguel de Cervantes, and ''The Lord of the Rings'' (which has been sold as both a trilogy of books, ''The Fellowship of the Ring'', '' The Two Towers'', and ''Return of the King'', and as a single issue) by J. R. R. Tolkien, that lack comprehensive sales figures. According to ''Guinness World Records'' as of 1995, the Bible is the best-selling book of all time with an estimated 5billion copies sold and distributed. Sales estimates for other printed religi ...
