> I've come to realized that the target demographic for Goosebumps is getting younger, and I'm getting older.

True. Have you read any of the SlappyWorld books? I'd say they're weaker than any HorrorLand book. The older Slappy books felt like they had a plot, and each was unique in it's own way. The newer ones, however, feel like the same book over and over again, with a more lackluster plot and writing style every time.

That's the thing. Goosebumps has played a major role in my childhood (and my life in general) that I need to remind myself that I'm no longer the target audience. I want to be honest about my opinions, but you can't be too critical when talking about kids content, yet it still feels like the quality of the books is deteriorating, then again, that's because it's aimed at a younger audience, but that wasn't the case before with the original series, yet even the newer genera-  '''UGHHH!! WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT?!'''

> Scholastic (and Sony) are doing their thing, and it's probably making some people very happy.

You know that's not the case when not even children like the 2nd film. It feels like Sony's the wrong company to handle Goosebumps. They aren't too good with their marketing, and I still can't fathom why they aren't dropping any merch, considering that Goosebumps is the 2nd bestselling book series of all time. No. The crappy stuff they released to promote the film doesn't count. It's not like I'm gonna buy most of whatever Goosebumps products that come out, but it'll certainly engage the audience in the series. At least give us some POP figures! I'm just hoping Sony will actually do something (literally anything) when/if the TV series reboot comes out.

Sorry about all the ranting.
