Goosebumps (1995 TV series)

Goosebumps is an anthology horror fantasy television series based on R. L. Stine's best-selling book series. It is an anthology of stories involving preteens and young teenagers in otherworldly scenarios. The series focuses on the same supernatural and occult themes as the novels, with most episodes directly adapting the original stories.

Goosebumps was filmed largely in Ontario, Canada, 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. Ontario offered a cost-effective filming location with a versatile aesthetic that could convincingly resemble the U.S. while preserving a sense of geographical ambiguity. 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.

Goosebumps originally began airing on YTV (in English) from 1995 to 2004, then again in 2016–2017 and Canal Famille (in French) in Canada.

In 2015, and from 13–18 August 2019, the series was aired on Teletoon and Télétoon (Quebec).

Since 2022, Family and WildBrainTV started airing reruns.

In other countries, Fox Kids both in Australia in 1995 and in the U.S. beginning on 27 October 1995 and ending on 16 November 1998, with repeats on Fox Family lasting until 6 September 1999 and 3 September 2001 respectively. Every October from 2007 to 2009, Cartoon Network aired the episodes. From 6 September 2011 until 5 October 2014, Hasbro's partially owned The Hub aired the series. From 2013 onwards, Netflix has streamed all 74 episodes of the TV series on its digital streaming service. In the United Kingdom, it aired on Children's BBC from 1997 to 1999, with repeats aired until 2001. In the United States, it is also available for free on Tubi and the Roku Channel.

To coincide with Fox's release of several tapes from the series, a Halloween 1998 tie-in marketing campaign with General Mills promoted the video series on 10 million packages, and included with each videocassette coupons for candy products such as Fruit Roll-Ups and Gushers.

According to Billboard, some of the VHS releases were among the best-selling children's videos in November 1998.
