How was your summer? What’s been keeping you busy? View the trailers for the Netflix series "Fear Street" and the Disney+ series "Just Beyond." The College of Arts and Sciences recently had the opportunity to catch up with Stine - just after the release of “Fear Street” on Netflix and ahead of the release of “Just Beyond” on Disney+. There’s little Stine has not experienced or accomplished since growing up in Bexley, Ohio, and graduating from The Ohio State University more than 50 years ago. Not everyone is a famous children’s horror author who instilled a love of reading to a generation, won three Emmy Awards, sold more than 400 million books, was portrayed by Jack Black on the big screen and inspired an attraction at Disney World (Goosebumps HorrorLand Fright Show, one of the “biggest thrills” of his life). On the other hand, “Bob,” as he is called, is very much unlike anyone else. Proceeds from Sundial sales helped Stine pursue his dream of writing for a humor magazine in New York City. By his sophomore year, he was the editor, a title he kept until graduating in 1965. As a freshman, he begged to join The Sundial, the university’s humor magazine. Stine came to Ohio State in the 1960s to study English, eventually earning his bachelor’s degree.
