I saw this game exactly one time when I was 13 and I never forgot it until tracking it down and playing it on an old Windows machine in 2012. Kids horror is some of my favorite horror; the best examples waver between being silly and scary and it's the perfect mix for me. On top of that, this game's got tons of cheesy green screen FMV and yes, even a brief cameo by Jeff Goldblum as a vampire. Perfect mood. The tech's a little interesting, too, seamlessly blending FMV actors with pseudo-3D backgrounds you can scroll around inside of in real time without interrupting the FMV. I don't think it's been re-released at all since its original run in 1996. It deserves to be seen by a wider audience.
Fantastic point and click FMV with an incredible art style and Jeff Goldblum as a vampire seducing underage girls! What more do you need?! The best Spooky-time game for me when Halloween rolls around.
I played so much of this game as a kid, and I think kids (and adults!) of the modern era can get a lot out of it too. Not just because Goosebumps is still popular (though admittedly not a juggernaut anymore) but also because it's a relatively easy and exciting point and click FMV game that's just perfect for getting people into the genre. Jeff Goldblum, Isabella Bossellini, and more star in it, and I think more people need to see this spooky little game.
A very special point and click adventure game! A direct sequel to the original book ‘Welcome to Horrorland’ and actually predating the original TV series by a year, it captures both the scary and fantastical aspects of Goosebumps without fail (probably thanks to the involvement of Steven Spielberg). While it seems like your regular bargain bin fare it’s so much more than that. Definitely a must play for all fans of Goosebumps AND point and click adventures.

I played this a ton as a kid and it would be really amazing to see this work on modern machines. The puzzles are fun and as others have said it really does the job of balancing horror and silly all into one. Preserve this Good ol' Game!
This was one of the first FMV games I played back in 96 and it was a lot of fun. I remember actually getting scared at certain points. The highlight was the werewolf chase and Jeff Goldblum as Dracula. You guys should definitely bring this this one to GOG.

Played this game as a kid, it made me a fan of the books when I was a bit older too, and so encouraged me into reading. Now I am older, would love to share it with my kids, as I think they'd love it.

Tales of the Tempest
Tales of the TempestTales of the Tempest, the first Tales title for the DS concerns Caius, a boy with the ability to unleash the beast inside him, and his quest to find his true parents. The game is presented in 3D and uses a battle system similar to Tales of Rebirth. Enemies and allies are all on 3 lines, with the player switching between them at will. The Touch Screen may be used for special attacks never before seen in the Tales series, allowing lots more variety in battle. The big feature of this game is the ability for certain characters to transform into werewolves, gaining extra power and speed at the cost of techniques.

Tales of Destiny
Tales of DestinyTales of Destiny is a follow-up to Tales of Phantasia. Like its predecessor, it has the structure of traditional Japanese role-playing games, but substitutes turn-based combat for action-oriented one. Battles take place on separate side-scrolling screens and resemble those of a fighting game. The player controls the main hero, navigating him on the battle screen and performing various attacks and combos. Other party members are controlled by the game's AI, but it is possible to pause the battle at any time and assign new combat style to any one of them.

While the game still has environmental obstacles such as weather effects, inhospitable lands, or powerful enemies, many of them can be overcome using the right method. A lot of critics ranked Breath of the Wild as one of the best video games of all time.
