This was a goosebumps book cover art right? Those were so fun to read

YES!!! I recognized it as a Goosebumps cover instantly too! What a blast to the past, I loved those. This one is from book #4 "Say Cheese and Die!"

Yes! I believe it was the one with the haunted/cursed camera. I had a ton of fun reading them as a kid

The author wrote a billion books and spinoffs. He is one of the best selling authors because of those books.

About a month or two ago, I tried to watch the tv show version of the haunted mask. The show did not age well, and the acting was pretty bad.

I guess you don’t notice that stuff as much when you are a kid.

Weird, I guess he claims ghostwriters only assisted him with making outlines, but unless he had Steven King level of cocaine addiction idk how he was able to churn out that much so quickly. I haven't read any of them since I was a kid, though. The dummy episodes gave me horrific nightmares.

I only ever read one, and all I remember of that was some kids being chased into a church by some demons, who then burn it down to get to them. The kids are put on trial for "forcing" the demons to burn the church, and they have to convince their lawyer not to throw the case because he'll be executed if he wins.
