GOOSEBUMPS Trailer Starring Jack Black

As I don’t care to have yet another beloved item from my childhood ruined, I will not be seeing the upcoming live-action Goosebumps film, but judging from the newly released trailer, it could be a fun film for kids to see this October. The film stars Jack Black as R. L. Stine, author of the Goosebumps books, who, after unleashing the monsters from all his stories into the real world, must work with his daughter and his neighbor to put them all back. Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Ken Marino and Ella Wahlestedt also star.

Goosebumps opens in theaters October 16th.

Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach’s comes when he learns that Hannah has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange… he is a prisoner of his own imagination – the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it’s suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.
