Thank you! I’ve heard good things about the Netflix Goosebumps, tho I was too old for R L Stine, so it wasn’t really part of my childhood.

By the way, I also write ‘spooky’ stories for Halloween each year - here’s this year’s: https://youtu.be/bmtCfVLQO-A?si=f1oiqw62B9xwiJW4

I loved this beautiful piece, and I'm a kindred spirit when it comes to "listening" to scary stuff sometimes (though more often, I just avoid it in favor of "spooky" stuff). I'll recommend the new season of Goosebumps that just came out on Netflix; it's pretty fun and definitely inhabits that spooky / uncanny space. And of course I love the nods to what I consider "classic" 90s teen spooky shows.
