Can I ask that you please don't mention anything written by a noted bigot? There's gotta be more than this.
By well known I mean well known by people that regularly read Fantasy or Horror.
I know about Goosebumps and Fear Street when it comes to horror. I freaking thrived on these books, especially Fear Street, a series that I read all throughout junior high. My favorite books from the series probably being The Cataluna Chronicles, Fear Park, and Fear Hall.
I know that there's Forgotten Realms when it comes to fantasy, and I used to love The Dark Elf Trilogy, but what else is out there?
Some stuff that's been pointed out to me:
Fantasy:
Animorphs: I think of this series as fantasy anyways. My stepbrother loved this series, and I wish that I tried to read some of it back when I could have appreciated it more. I remember him telling me that teachers didn't want him to read this in junior high and wanted him to read stuff aimed at older people, and to this I say that I still read some Goosebumps in my first year of Junior High, and if I was still reading Fear Street in High School I probably wouldn't have stopped reading novels in high school.
Anyways, please people, read this series, not Terf Wizards.
Redwall: It started in the mid 80s, but a lot of the books are in the 90s so I'll count it. It's another series that I wish I read when I was younger so I could appreciate it more.
His Dark Materials: A lot of people have recommended this 90s fantasy series to me.
Tales from the Wyrd Museum
Horror:
Nothing so far.

Harry Potter.
Bunnicula
The baby sitters club. I remember reading quite a few of them when I was 10. Besides from Redwall, Goosebumps, etc. A lot of books I read in the 90s as a kid were published earlier – Dahl, Lewis, etc.
By the 2000s Harry Potter was in full flight but by then I was already onto adult books as an early teen.
