The individual versions of these may be going out of print. For now they seem to be doubling them up. At least there are future releases coming out. Hopefully they will put out larger sets. Anyway....

Even though it's not mentioned anywhere in this listing, this particular Goosebumps is a set of 2 episodes. The first, It Came from Beneath the Sink, isn't overly scary and has a slight Gremlins feel to it. Even though I'm in my 40s, I found it quite funny to watch the kids, who have just moved into a new neighborhood, as they discover something odd beneath the...you guessed it, SINK! Is it really moving around scaring the dog? Or is it just their imagination? Quite fun finding out! Now, the second story, Strained Peas, is by far my favorite. It has a few real scares and may even be too much for a younger child. You don't want any nightmares out of this. Basically, a family with a preteen son have a new baby girl named Grace who is showing signs of not being completely innocent! And the son is pretty much freaking out.

I'm plagued with being single and no children right now. But these are still fun to watch by myself. My guess is that these would be a perfect way to intro a kid to the fun of scary cinema with the whole family. Sure, disturbing things happen but it's all nice in the end. Main thing is the parent can watch it with the child and not get totally bored. Or...you could watch Barney the dinosaur. Now that's really scary!

My husband and I bought this for my daughter, who is 4 years old, for one of her christmas gifts because she loves this one the best of all the Goosebumps. She started watching them the month before Halloween on TV. After she saw this one she couldn't stop talking about it. Her twin brother is a little afraid of it and likes "The ghost next door" by Goosebumps best.

The Goosebumps series are all good spooky fun for the young teenage crowd. It Came from Beneath the Sink had an especially good cast and was quite humorous.
