On October 16th, Jack Black stars as R.L. Stine in a movie where his books actually come alive.

Now, I fully admit I was a little too old for the Goosebumps books. When they came out I was already reading the Fear Street or the Christopher Pike teen scare thrillers. But they were one of the few books that my little brother would actually read.

I mean, horror that was appropriate reading for an 8-12 year old? He was all over it!

Then the TV show came out in 1995, introducing the stories to a whole new group of kids.

Scholastic released a new series called “Goosebumps HorrorLand” in 2008.

Now it has come full circle with a big action adventure movie. And, even better, it looks like one mom and dad won’t mind watching either.
