It would probably be something like the early books. Excluding book 1, because it's a bit darker than most early books.

I can't imagine packing everything or even the bare minimum of the story into one Goosebumps book.  However, I could see a book where someone got the power to morph and might have gotten stuck or something like that.  It could've been somewhat interesting.

if RL Stine wrote Animorphs it'd be a lot darker and would either end in all the Animorphs dieing, becoming nothlits, or infested

he's dark but not that dark.

that's going more down the lines of Dean Koonz or Steven King.

All I ever used to read before Animorphs was Goosebumps, and the only reason I read them was because I couldn't anything else easy or fun to read. That said, I was never engaged in any of the Goosebump books that I ever read. Animorphs was the first series that truly made me care for the story and its characters, so I would NOT want R.L. Stine to ever touch Animorphs and ruin that for me.

The only exception I'd make to this is if he wanted to do the Alternamorphs, since no one really cared for them anyway.

It's hard to truly imagine an abomination of that magnitude, but I think it's safe to say it would have been just as terrible as the rest of his work.

i loved R.L. steines goosbumps! but i agree, the animorphs in goosebump format woulda ended up with everyone being yeerks, or at least one of them, the whole time. don't forget a Night in Terror Tower and how THAT ended :-X

I haven't read that one Estrid, but I have read some truly terrible work by him. About the only think the series has in common with Animorphs is that they both went on to create a TV series that was bloody awful!
