goosebumpy
Chill-inducing skin texture
Goosebumpy describes the state of having goosebumps—those small raised bumps on the skin triggered by cold, fear, or strong emotion.
The word captures the physical sensation or its emotional cause: The ending of that movie made me all goosebumpy.
It can also describe something that produces this reaction: a goosebumpy moment in the concert.
