Goosebumps: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Susan King Los Angeles Times "Goosebumps" has defied the odds. Most TV adaptations of children's book series have failed. On top of that, it's an anthology, with different stories each week and no continuing characters--traditionally a tough sell in television. Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Goosebumps: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Michael Nordine indieWire More faithful to its source material than most literary adaptations, the "Goosebumps" show strikes the same balance between humor and horror. Jan 16, 2019 Full Review Goosebumps: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Wharton The Daily Dot Goosebumps adapted the creepy tales that many of '90s kids devoured by flashlight beneath their blankets. Jan 15, 2019 Full Review Goosebumps: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Emily Ashby Common Sense Media While teens can probably handle the scares, they may be turned off by the dated, low-budget film style and overacting that often plagues horror films of all levels. Rated: 3/5 Jan 15, 2019 Full Review Goosebumps: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Paste Staff Paste Magazine The Goosebumps TV adaptation, on the other hand, probably doesn't have quite the same cultural cache for us '90s kids, but it was a capable series in its own right.
