It was based on adults and children caught up in spooky otherworldly situations.

The TV series was based on R. L. Stine‘s best-selling books, with many episodes directly adapted from his chapters.

Four series of Goosebumps were produced, with a total of 74 episodes making it to air.

Three decades on, one social media account has shared before and after snaps of the A-list cast.

Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling is also included, and looks fresh-faced in a still from the 90s hit.

Scott Speedman played officer Madison and still looks as handsome as he did, but without the black shades.

Canadian actress Karen Robinson still looks radiant today and has gone on to star in Law and Order, Schitt’s Greek and The Calling.

Caley Wilson, who starred as Terry Banks, appears to still rock his long hair today.

Angela Gei is still best known for her role in Goosebumps, and doesn’t appear to have acted in a big TV series since 2018 when she starred in an episode of Condor.

In 2023 Goosebumps returned to TV with a reboot, but it moved away from its former format.

The reboot focused on a serialised anthology style of storytelling instead as storylines were changed each series.

The horrifying 90s trends that will be massive this year

IT might be 2024, but it looks like we’ve skipped back another decade to the 1990s.

Cool Britannia was in reign, Oasis v Blur, Blair and The Beckhams all stole headlines but couples dressing and combats were king and this year they’re back.

But not everyone will be happy with the return of some looks we’d consider cringe rather than cool.

Here fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals the nineties trends that are back.

SKELTS

The micro mini crept back on the scene last year but is set to be one of the biggest trends this year. 

The skelt (that’s skirt-belt) made famous by former glamour model Jodie Marsh and donned by nineties supermodels Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss is now available at high street stores like H&M and Zara.  

DOUBLE (AND TRIPLE) DENIM

From Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s matching looks to Irish girl band B*Witched dressing head to toe in jean – double and sometimes triple denim is synonymous with nineties style. 

Fast forward to now and everything from jeans to maxi skirts, yes maxi skirts, the waists will be low and worn with denim bags, tops and bras, like Bella Hadid. 

COMBATS

Rebranded as “cargo” trousers and skirts but don’t be fooled, they’re just combats.

Think All Saints, Billie Piper, and S Club 7 style practical, multi pocketed pants. 

If you’re looking to get back into your combats there are an abundance available on the high street at Primark, New Look and Asos. 

BALLET PUMPS

Remember the days when you would slip on your ballet pumps and feel every lump and bump of the pavement?

Yes they’re back.

And they’re already lining the shelves at Primark.
