MY FAVORITE THINGS

With Halloween coming I like to read scary books to get ready for the trick or treaters that show up at my doghouse for candy.  No one does scary better than the author of Goosebumps, R.L.Stine. Goosebumps turns 25 years old this year with Slappy the Dummy as the all time favorite character.  A second Goosebumps movie is in the works!

In a recent interview, R.L.Stine said he never started writing anything until he found the perfect title.   He went on to say he has never received a suggestion for a title from any kids.  Here’s your chance to get into writing! You can write to the author on his website.
