TV – New Goosebumps Reboot to Premiere in October

Goosebumps, the iconic book series penned by R.L. Stine, has been chilling reader’s spines for decades with its hair-raising tales of the supernatural, the weird, and the wonderfully frightful. Here at iDisplayit, we fondly remember rushing to the Scholastic book fair as kids to get the latest book in the series – who could forget weird monsters like Slappy the Dummy, the Haunted Mask, and Murder the Clown? The books are like Stephen King for children, thrilling young readers with creepy, weird tales.

The original book series, first published in 1992, has sold over 400 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 32 languages. The beloved literary franchise also has a storied history in the world of film and television. The original Goosebumps TV series – a landmark production that ran from 1995 to 1998 – traumatised a generation of kids and helped cement the series’ popularity by gathering a dedicated fanbase and showcasing the enduring appeal of Stine’s tales on the small screen. In 2015, the franchise also hit cinemas with the release of Goosebumps, a motion picture starring Jack Black as the author himself.

With the upcoming TV series, a new generation of fans will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the eerie world of Goosebumps. The show, set to debut on Disney+ and Hulu, will deliver a fresh take on the beloved tales, bringing to life the wacky characters and spine-tingling adventures that have haunted our consciousnesses for decades.

What Is The 2023 Goosebumps TV Show About?

Along the way, they uncover long-buried secrets from their parent’s own teenage years, gaining insight into the shared, hidden histories of their families.
