As I re-read through this one, I could see why I enjoyed it so much in my younger days.
Really, though, The Baby-Sitter feels like a Fear Street book, which I loved once I felt that I outgrew the Goosebumps series. There are multiple authors, settings, and themes, but they share a publisher, so I guess they tried to tie them all together.
RL STINE THE BABYSITTER SERIES
Point Horror, as far as I know, is a series of young adult horror books from the late ’80s and early ’90s that are not really connected. The Baby-Sitter is actually part of two different series: The Baby-Sitter, of course, and Point Horror. I believe I actually owned the second one already at that point, but that didn’t matter to me: I needed to own the rest before I could continue! Unfortunately, that continuing never happened, that I can remember, anyway, but I’m here to make up for that as we take another run at R.L. I distinctly remember begging my parents to take me to Borders Books & Music to grab the rest of the series after finishing this one. Much like I do today, when I was younger, I felt the urge to own all four of these books after reading just one. Martin said there aren't any current plans to create an adult BSC spin-off like Sweet-Valley Confidential, but conceded, "I've learned never to say never." And what about a Goosebumps/ Baby-sitters Club crossover? Martin and Stine laughed it off, but Goosebumps graphic-novelist Dave Roman had some ideas.The Baby-Sitter series holds a special place in my heart, even though I’ve never actually read through all four entries. He explained, "I'm not allowed to talk about that, but I hope to have an announcement real soon." Stine wouldn't give the audience any info about the Fear Street movie, which was confirmed last week, but his vow of silence seemed to hint at some big news coming soon. "I should have helped him, but I thought, what a great idea for a story!" "My son was trying on a rubber Frankenstein mask, and he couldn't get it off," Stine said. When it comes to inspiration for the spine-tingling tales, Stine revealed only one Goosebumps title came out of a real life experience - The Haunted Mask. In an answer to the very important "which BSC character are you?" question, Martin explained she's a Mary Anne, while Stine was stumped (though I think he'd totally be a Kristy). Martin didn't think emojis would change the world of the BSC, saying even with Facetime the girls would probably still hold their meetings in Claudia's room. On October 10, Stine clarified how a world of smartphones and Facebook has made writing suspense a little harder, explaining, "A girl in a Fear Street book would get a call and ask, 'who is this?' now she can look at her caller ID." He has found work-arounds, saying in the first Fear Street reboot Party Games (which was released last year), he had the party host collect the guests' cell phones.Īnn M. Martin, as well as graphic novelists Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier, who adapted the classic '90s series into illustrated editions. Stine declared at a New York Comic Con panel featuring the Goosebumps author and The Baby-sitter's Club scribe, Ann M. "Technology has ruined the horror novel," R.L.
