He's just a dead-fucking-ringer for R.L. Stine, isn't he?

Oh, and Jack Black seems like a terrible casting choice for a Goosebumps movie.

Stine still writes Goosebumps related books.

They're just not the popular fad they were back in the mid to late 90's.

[Trambamboline]

Man, why can't someone just make a Monster Blood fan movie? Someone kickstarter that shit.

[SatanBrain]

If the producers adapt it into a children's movie, it will be worse than the book series. A Goosebumps movie should be horrifying.

[Darthdenim]

Sounds like Night at The Museum with Goosebumps.

We all know how amazing that movie was....

Well, what do you mean by children's movie though? Do you mean like Don Bluth philosophy "Kids can take anything as long as there's a happy ending" or current "Fuck, we can't possibly scare or disturb kids! Cotton wool on everything!" thinking? 'Cause one is EXACTLY what a Goosebumps movie SHOULD be, the other, not so much.

[Darthdenim]

Maybe at the very end of the movie we find out everybody is an alien.

Shit like that happened all the time in Goosebumps.

Goosebumps was a childrens' book series, sooo...

Don Bluth <3

[Viper]

Any idea which book they're going to be making into a movie?
I wouldn't mind seeing a Goosebumps movie if it involves Slappy. Just please for the love of god get Jack Black out of it.

A movie fit for children is the latter. I rather a movie of "Don Bluth philosophy".

But it's not. How are things like American Tail and Land before time NOT fit for children? They're dark as FUCK, but they're still kid's movies.

And that sort of thing is, in my opinion, what any goosebumps story, movie or not, should be. Dark, but JUST campy enough that it's not full on horror.

[Viper]

You know what I want to see be made into a movie? One of the Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark books.
Now if only they can get someone to do that and not fuck it up....

[Darthdenim]

I remember when Taco Bell had Goosebumps toys back in the day.

[argile]

A movie based on a series of Kid's Horror novels staring Jack Black doesn't seem like the best idea for casting.

[Boomstick]

So it's just an Adult man-child screaming at kids for 90 minutes while an old children's writer dies in the background?

Sounds fun.

[5ERGEI]

Jack black looks like he got just barely enough oxygen when he was born to not have down syndrome.... but still got the face.

Does Nickelodeon still own Goosebumps ?

[Ragnarokia]

Goosebumps is now replaced by shitty creepypastas in terms of childish attempts at being scary with poor writing.

It looks intriguing enough. I'll probably watch it when it comes out.

Let's see, they've got the giant robot praying mantis from Shocker on Shock Street, the Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, one of those aliens from Attack of the Jack-o-Lanterns, Slappy the Dummy and I guess the Werewolf from Fever Swamp.

Amazing how all of those (besides Shocker) were the only ones that I had read for the longest time. Then the first one I got around to was Shocker on Shock Street, and they all remained my very favorites.
...They know my secrets! MY GOD

Also, If they plan on doing this movie without Monster Blood, then I don't know what the hell they're doing.

EDIT: Just watched the trailer, I'd like to watch it, it doesn't look too bad. BUT, the lack of Monster Blood in that trailer is disturbing. I've got a bad feeling like they're going to have a Monster Blood cocktease via end-credit scene for the sequel they're expecting to make.

Well to be fair 2015 isn't anything like what those movies said it would be! So fuck them they need to do it properly!

it was 2015 wasn't it? I didn't bother to remember.

No, the contract that Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale signed stated that they had control over any Back to the Future movies until they died, and they have said that they'll have to be dead for a remake/part IV to be made.

You're in the wrong movie, Jack Black. Go do a quirky but forgettable comedy instead.

Finally creators with an ounce of integrity.

It's good to know that Back to the Future won't get a shitty remake for a very, very long time.

Shit, I used to love those books. Maybe I'll watch it for shits 'n' giggles

I too want Monster Blood to be in it. Here's my list of inclusions:

1. The Camera from Say Cheese and Die
2. Horrorland (+ a reference or plot point regarding the Goosebumps Horrorland series)
3. The Haunted Mask
4. Attack of the Mutant
5. The Deadly Experiments of Dr. Eeek
6. Egg Monster From Mars
7. Phantom of the Auditorium
8. The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight
9. Deep Trouble
10. Welcome to Dead House

Jack Black is awesome! You people are weird.

[Neoslayre]

I saw the trailer, it sucked

[ThePulp]

Looks like it's gonna sell.

And sell it might.
