Was obsessed with the books as a kid. Had #1-46 until I grew out of it and into Stephen King. My friend Kollin had a Goosebumps themed birthday party, complete with a Goosebumps cake. His dad succeeded in scaring the crap out of us by hiding underneath the table and having his hand burst through the cake. Later in the night he further traumatized us by sneaking outside and banging on the front door while wearing panty hose over his head. First near death experience. Brian Brady slept through the whole thing.
