Plot Summary:
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.
Details Movie
Scheduled to premiere on Aug. 7, 2015, the “Goosebumps” movie looks to combine all of the scares from the bestselling 62 book horror series.
The main character is Zach, a new kid in town who accidentally
unleashes the evil beings imprisoned inside R.L. Stine’s “Goosebumps”
books. Zach joins forces with R.L. Stine himself,
played by Jack Black, to re-imprison the supernatural creatures
menacing the town. And while the trailer has yet to find its way into
theaters, it has been seen by attendees of San Diego Comic-Con and many
members of the press. So what books are referenced and what monsters
will we see come alive on the screen next summer?This is one of the big ones. Slappy is one of R.L. Stine’s most enduring characters and it looks like he’s likely to be one of the main villains in the “Goosebumps” movie. Featured in nine different “Goosebump” books, the trailer has already provided a look at Slappy come to life.While they may not be as scary as the giant praying mantises of
Grasshopper Jungle,
the mantises of “A Shocker on Shock Street” are a definite, with one
scene in the trailer featuring the giant monsters menacing a car driven
by R.L. Stine (Jack Black).Yep, the lawn gnomes from “Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes” will be making an
appearance. In the trailer they’re knife-wielding maniacs, so look
forward to nightmares set in idyllic gardens.The trailer for “Goosebumps” definitely features a werewolf of some
variety. Whether it’s “The Werewolf of Fever Swamp,” Or someone wearing
the werewolf skin of “Werewolf Skin” remains to be seen. I’m going to go
ahead and guess the former.While it wasn’t shown in the “Goosebumps” movie trailer, the mask from
“The Haunted Mask,” maybe one of the most frightening of the early
“Goosebumps” books, will definitely make an appearance. Hopefully we’ll
get to see R.L. Stine in its thrall, both because he deserves it, and
because I love me some Jack Black slapstick.Yep, there will definitely be a mummy in “Goosebumps” the movie. And
while this picture doesn’t look like the traditional paper-wrappings
variety, I suspect we’ll see both, especially since the “Goosebumps”
movie will be loaded down with hordes of the undead. Surely there’s room
for some mummy zombies too?A warm weather Yeti facing off against Jack Black playing R.L. Stine and
two kids? Why not! The more the merrier. I’d love for this one to be a
man-in-a-suit, rather than a CGI ape. That way Jack Black can claim to
have faced off against both real and virtual incarnations of King Kong.
