Summary: <p>In July 1992, Scholastic introduced a monthly book series by R.L. Stine called Goosebumps with <em>Goosebumps: Welcome to Dead House</em>. Twenty-five years (and several generations of frightened kids later), Goosebumps is now one of the best-selling children's series of all time with more than 350 million English language books in print. To celebrate this milestone, we invited R.L. Stine into the studio to reflect on the last 25 years and to give us a look at what's still to come for the master of horror. </p> <p>Joining us in the studio today is a special co-host, Gina Asprocolas. Gina is a Scholastic employee who was a die-hard Goosebumps fan as a child. She shares her story of growing up with Goosebumps, gives Stine some inspiration for millennial-inspired stories, and we test her R.L. Stine-related knowledge with some trivia!</p> <p><strong>Additional Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Find more information about all of the Goosebumps books <a href="http://www.scholastic.com/goosebumps" rel="nofollow">here</a> </li> <li><a href="http://www.rlstine.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Learn more about R.L.
