What happens

Goosebumps is a 2015 American horror comedy film based on R. L. Stine's children's horror novel series of the same name. Directed by Rob Letterman, with a screenplay by Darren Lemke, the film stars Jack Black as a fictionalized and exaggerated version of R. L. Stine, who, alongside his teenage daughter (Odeya Rush), collaborates with his new neighbor (Dylan Minnette) on saving their hometown after all the monsters from the Goosebumps franchise escape from his works, wreaking havoc in reality. It additionally features Amy Ryan, Ryan Lee and Jillian Bell in supporting roles. Development on a Goosebumps film adaptation began in the 1990s but the project stalled. In early 2008, Columbia Pictures acquired the rights. Principal photography lasted from April to July 2014 in Candler Park, Atlanta. Goosebumps was theatrically released in the United States on October 16, 2015. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its humor, pacing and faithfulness to the Goosebumps franchise. A sequel titled Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween was released on October 12, 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
