Remember those Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine that was also a TV show in the 90’s? Well, it looks like Goosebumps is now a movie and Jack Black is starring as R.L. Stine himself. In the movie all the evils from R.L. Stine books are real and he keeps them locked up in books. Enter a new kid in town who has the hots for Jack Black’s daughter which leads to him sneaking into the house, finding the books, and oops….releasing the Lawn Gnomes, the Abominable Snowman, and Slappy the Evil Dummy among others upon the world. It actually looks and sounds fun for what it is.
I wasn’t expecting much when I heard they were making a movie and I was pleasantly surprised with the trailer. Seems like a fun and interesting way to play the Goosebumps universe and I can easily see this having a sequel if it does well in the box office. Goosebumps hits theaters in October.
