Oh dear, another range to avoid Its not confirmed to be an audio range. I was quite surprised to see Goosebumps on any official Big Finish stuff at all. |

They posted the same kinda thing last week for Robin Of Sherwood and audios of that are happening elsewhere, so it seems to be generally talking about cult properties rather than saying they're properties we can expect to have at BF. As to why BF would want to promote other people's properties....who knows. You'd think throwing back to things you can sell would be more beneficial but maybe the new marketing person they recruited wants to gauge interests of the fanbase.

There just doing it to hopefully catch people who don’t know about big finish using similar genres but not linked to them already.
It’s a marketing technique that’s all.

Maybe I'm not up on various social medias but wouldn't this post be seen by people who are following or have liked BF already? Who's feed is it showing in that doesn't know about BF? |

If you ain't following them this wouldn't apper on your feed. Very odd post from Big Finish. How would it encourage people to go to Big Finish? There is no link? There is no crossover with fanbases of Goosebumps & what Big Finish do. The mind boggles. |

Anyway, for anyone who has read the books, seen the TV show or watched the film, what are your memories of it? Did Slappy scare you stiff as a board?

Odd. I remember reading some of the books when I was younger, as well as watching the TV show. I wouldn't be opposed to a Goosebumps range if BF went in that direction...

They are hoping for people to comment/repost/stick it on their time line or what ever nonsense they call it now, so then non bf people see it when looking at their feed......also if a “goosebumps” search is done their post will be brought up. the goosebumps is the bait nothing more. like much on Facebook it’s nothing maskerading as something with an underhand purpose. |

I think you mean masquerading. Facebook can be a useful tool, like Kris's Big Finish Unwrapped live streams or when Nick Briggs held an impromptu Ask Me Anything. |

BF said on the Robin of Sherwood thread that there'd be a nostalgia thread once a week.
And, since their posts are public, friends of anyone who posts will see the thread so, no, not only people who follow BF will see it.
Besides, we already know that people are finding out about BF for the first time all the time. (Usually replying asking 'Will this be on TV?'.)
