Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Goosebumps is a Canadian children's horror fantasy anthology television series based on R. L. Stine's Goosebumps books. It was one of the two popular television horror anthology children's series in the 1990s (the other being Are You Afraid of the Dark?).

It was filmed in Toronto, Ontario and Bellevue, Washington.

Hallmarks

Networks

Goosebumps originally began airing on YTV (in English) and Canal Famille (in French) in Canada and on Fox Kids in the United States starting in 1995 and ending in 1998, with reruns on Fox Family lasting until 2000. Every October from 2007 to 2009, Cartoon Network aired the episodes. On 6 September 2011, The Hub started airing re-runs of the series.

From "GB-7" to "TV-Y7"

When Goosebumps was first broadcast on Fox Kids, an episode of Goosebumps would begin with a warning "Goosebumps is rated GB-7, because it may be too spooky for children under seven." Similar ratings were used on other Fox Kids shows. However, when the V-chip and the U.S. television ratings system took effect in 1996, the GB-7 rating was discontinued and given the TV-Y7 rating for scenes and plot elements considered too scary and/or gross for children under seven. On Cartoon Network, the show was rated TV-PG for scary/disturbing content. The show is now rerated back to TV-Y7 for fantasy violence (FV) on The Hub.

Opening sequences

The opening sequence starts with a man dressed in black carrying his briefcase up a hill. The name engraved on the briefcase reveals the mysterious man to be Goosebumps' author, R. L. Stine. A strong wind blows, opening Stine's case, and his papers fly out, one of which turns into a "G" seen on the Goosebumps logo, only it was black shadow, and glides through an unnamed town. The "G" passes by a woman on a billboard, making her unhappy, and passes by a dog on a porch, which makes its eyes glow a gold color (this is referenced to in the episode "My Hairiest Adventure" and was also used to represent the show in its UK airings on Fox Kids). The "G" then creeps past a tree, down a sidewalk, and into the front door of a house and begins showing a quick montage of clips from several episodes with an announcer growling, "Viewer, beware, you're in for a scare!", remade from the tagline, "Reader, beware, you're in for a scare!" used in the Goosebumps book series.

In season two, the opening was shortened, speeding up the Goosebumps "G" gliding through town and removing the quick episode montage in the doorway.

In season three, the show was renamed "Ultimate Goosebumps" and the opening underwent a few changes. A green slime and a lightning effect were added when the man in black walks up the hill with his briefcase and his papers fly out. However, instead of a paper turning into a G-shaped shadow and being blown through town, the man in black turns into bats which fly at the screen. The quick episode montage was added back but clips from different episodes were used. There are some episodes that don't include the "Ultimate Goosebumps" name, so the short season two opening was used.

In season four, the show removed the "Ultimate" from its name but retained the season three opening sequence. In some markets, this opening was also used in reruns of the first two seasons.

The opening music was composed by Jack Lenz.

Reception

CBBC censorship

Goosebumps was originally broadcast in the UK as a part of BBC's children's program lineup on CBBC from 1997 to 2001. Because of the UK's stringent censorship (particularly over content that is considered too "gross" or scary to be shown to young or sensitive viewers), many of the early Goosebumps episodes were either banned (such as the Night of the Living Dummy II, Night of the Living Dummy III, Bride of the Living Dummy, and The Haunted Mask) or aired with heavy cuts made, particularly to the twist endings. In addition, The Werewolf of Fever Swamp is the only Goosebumps episode to receive a 12 rating by the BBFC. The episodes, despite being edited for content, also aired at 6:00pm.

Unlike CBBC, the cable channel Jetix (in the UK and Ireland) has aired Goosebumps episodes with little to no edits (although the A Shocker on Shock Street episode was edited to remove Marty getting electrocuted into submission when it is revealed that Erin and Marty are robot children programmed to test out the Shock Street park).

The main difference between the books in this series and their original publications is that the Goosebumps Presents editions contained photos from the corresponding episodes. 18 books were released from 1996 to 1998.
