***Goosebumps*** is a Canadian-American horror anthology television series based on R. L. Stine's best-selling *Goosebumps* book series.

## Summary

Anthology series about kids, pre-teens, and teenagers finding themselves in eerie and unusual situations, typically involving supernatural elements.

### 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 1999 and 2001 respectively. Every October from 2007 to 2009, Cartoon Network aired the episodes. From September 6, 2011 until 2014, The Hub broadcast the series.

### 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 named 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 a dog on a porch, which causes its eyes to glow demonically (this shot is referenced in the episode "My Hairiest Adventure"; Larry says "Now this seems familiar...". The same shot was also used in continuity links in 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 episodes across the three seasons were used. There are some episodes that don't include the "Ultimate Goosebumps" name, so the short season two opening was used. The intertitle also showed the logo above a puddle of slime in which a link to the Scholastic website was visible.

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. Some Cartoon Network airing use a slow motion clip of the season 1 and 2 inner title.

Hour-long specials The Haunted Mask I & II, A Night In Terror Tower, The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, Welcome to Dead House and Night of the Living Dummy III don't use the opening sequence at all but instead have R.L. Stine talking at the beginning and end of those episodes.

The opening music was composed by Jack Lenz.
