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.

S.M. Rath asked R.L. Stine:

I grew up on your books. First Goosebumps and then I graduated on to Fear Street books. I am a librarian now and whenever a kid is looking for something scary I lead them to the Goosebump books. I am excited for the movie coming out. Is it in August or October? I read conflicting dates and would like to have a goosebump program for the children in celebration of the movie and books.

LJP1610 asked R.L. Stine:

Thank you for Fear Street especially the Cheerleaders series - I still re-read them even though I'm in my 30s now. You are awesome:) My question is what is the Australian release date for DON'T STAY UP LATE?

Ramita
Ramita asked R.L. Stine:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)[ You said "Read. Read. Read. Just don't read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different style."
Are you writing any other book other than goosebumps?
(hide spoiler)]
