The first Goosebumps trailer has arrived online and it’s exactly what you would want from a movie based on the R.L. Stine books. Directed by Rob Letterman (Monsters vs Aliens), the cast is led by Jack Black and includes Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, and Ryan Lee.
Goosebumps opens in theaters on October 6, 2015.
The Plot: Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Rush), living right next door, and makes a quick friend in Champ (Lee). But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach’s comes when he learns that Hannah’s mysterious dad is in fact R.L. Stine (Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series.
As Zach starts learning about the strange family next door, he soon discovers that Stine holds a dangerous secret: the creatures that his stories made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Stine’s creations are unintentionally released from their manuscripts, Zach’s life takes a turn for the weird. In a crazy night of adventure, it’s up to Zach, Hannah, Champ, and Stine to team up and get all of these figments of Stine’s imagination – including Slappy the Dummy, the girl with the haunted mask, the gnomes and many more – back in the books where they belong to save the town.
