GOOSEBUMPS has surprised everyone by looking like it might actually be super fun, but you can see for yourself in this clip featuring an attack by a giant praying mantis! The mantis comes straight from the Goosebumps Title A Shocker on Shock Street (which, incidentally combines two Wes Craven titles) although R. L. Stine himself might not exactly recall, considering just how many books he's published. Check out the video below!
In GOOSEBUMPS, 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.
GOOSEBUMPS comes out in the U.S. on October 16th while spreading across the globe in the weeks after.
