Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh oh my gaaaaawd, yes, thank you movie gods, I was so worried about this movie, and this trailer makes me feel so good.
With the recent string of movies that have come out recently that are less homages to nostalgia and childhood, and more like a pile of poop sitting on a sidewalk with CG explosions in the background (Micheal Bay, you know what you’ve done), when I heard about the Goosebumps movie, I was not optimistic. However, this time around, I think my childhood may come out unscathed, and it is bringing hope back in the picture.
Directed by Rob Letterman (Shark Tale, Gulliver’s Travels), Goosebumps follows high schooler Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette), who is new to town. He meets pretty neighbor Hannah (Odeya Rush), whose overprotective dad is none other than R.L. Stein (Jack Black), author of the books of the same name and star of my childhood. Zach, thinking he is rescuing a damsel in distress, breaks into their house and unwittingly unleashes the monsters of the books out into the real world. Check out the trailer below:
