David
David asked R.L. Stine:

This is probably a question you hate being asked but where do you get your ideas for each book?

R.L. Stine You're right, David.

More Answered Questions

Ravyn Karasu
Ravyn Karasu asked R.L. Stine:

With the new Goosebumps movie out, would you like to see any particular book or groups of Goosebumps books made into their own movies, like The Haunted Mask, Welcome to Dead House, or the collection of Slappy books (it would be a shame for such a great prop to go to waste and Jack Black gave him such a good voice)?

Reuben Sady
Reuben Sady asked R.L. Stine:

Do you reread your own books? If so, do they scare you? Are there any (of the books you've written) that you won't read for fear of what they contain?

Chelsea
Chelsea asked R.L. Stine:

I LOVE the Fear Street books, the Cheerleader books are definitely my favorites. What was your inspiration? I also saw you recently published a new Fear Street novel...is there more to come?
