R.L. Stine's Goosebumps Books Headed to the Big Screen

[Foxholes]

Sony Pictures picked up the rights to Scholastic's Goosebumps series of children's horror books written by R.L. Stine and has hired two writers to adapt them into a feature film (http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/08/18/rl-stines-goosebumps-books-headed-to-the-big-screen/).


Each book has completely different characters/scenarios, so I wonder how this is gonna work.

[drudo182]

Probably really, really bad but I can't say I'm not excited.

[Adeniz19]

....really? i thought the tv show was enough

[Kif]

I think they're like a decade too late.

[drudo182]

I guess they just didn't have the technology needed to bring the intensity of Beast From the East to the big screen.

[MoChroi]

wow i used to fuckin adore these books. i read the first like...60 or 70?

[MoChroi]

I loved that one!

Bam Bam Bigelow?

[billyboatkid]

Those movies would be so short.

[MoChroi]

Bam Bam Bigelow?

Haha if he died his beard blue

[googirl8907]

I'm pretty excited for this.

[AShannon04]

yuck

[lindZ629]

I just realized that Ryan Gosling was in the Say Cheese and Die episode...I hope he's in the movie too!

[TooLateF0rRoses]

well this sounds like a pretty stupid idea.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

My guess is that they're going to take the most popular books and put them all into one movie, maybe with a twist at the end where they all end up in the same room?:-|

[TooLateF0rRoses]

its going to be a four hour movie of someone with a pleasant voice to listen to(maybe morgan freeman after he recovers?) reading several of the books.

[drudo182]

I hope they do this version. People in the audience can scream and yell for what they want but as much as they do that, the final movie has already been created and there is no changing it. But the people in the audience don't know that.

It would just be a way to make them all look silly for paying $10 to see it.

[MattRM]

Monster Blood (all four of em) were sweet books.

[brandnew21g]

[drudo182]

That's odd.

Try this one. Ryan Gosling and Scott Speedman in the same scene.

I used to have the Attack of the Mutant PC game as a kid. It was so goddamn hard as well.

[brandnew21g]

hahaha, that one worked. i love the music

[drudo182]

I want to do a shot-for-shot remake of Say Cheese and Die.

[WordzandDreamz]

I'm dead serious when I say that if I were making movies, I could make a fucking sweet goosebumps movie out of a lot of those books.

[notoaststereo]

not good.

[slickwataris]

They'll probably adapt the 4-part Horrorland series coming out next year.

[MoChroi]

That's odd.

I give Goosebumps credit for the success of Ryan Gosling

[Broken Parachute]

Hahaha, awesome.

[gloriousmuse]

I could only get into You Chose the Scare. Even so, I always cheated.

[wtfmates]

They had better do one of these two.

I loved the hell out of those two when I was a kid. Hell, I loved every book.

[Deadwomb88]

I really miss Goosebumps. I'll be there

[Adeniz19]

i think my favorite was it came from fever swamp. i regret selling all my books at a yard sale.

[Chemical Love]

Sounds like a really horrible idea.

[drudo182]

I liked Monster Blood quite a bit. There were few that I thought were terrible at the time.

[cscwell107]

i used to sweat these books

One day at horrorland was a really good one

[Chemical Love]

I remember a little bit from so many of them. I kinda want to go back and read a bunch of them.

[Ailite]

Oh shit, this will probably be horrible but I'll be there. I loved Goosebumps.

[Anton Djamoos]

Senator Lamb loves the Beast from the East.

[andrewa5]

Wow this will be interesting. im kinda excited!

[chokeychicken]

lol

why?

[gilatron5000]

Each book has completely different characters/scenarios, so I wonder how this is gonna work.The Masked Mutant finds Monster Blood And has a new sidekick in Slappy The Living Dummy.

I believe my favorite was Deep Trouble or Attack Of The Masked Mutant.

[sugarcoatedlies]

it's probably gonna suck

[demondays524]

I think they're like a decade too late.

Maybe they're trying to regain popularity.

[EndlessMike]

I saw an ad the other day for a Goosebumps/Horrorland video game and got incredibly excited. Then I thought about it for a while and realized it will probably suck, but I want to play it anyway. I feel the same way about this. In all likelihood the movie(s) will blow, but I'll watch anyway.

No shit that's awesome, for what system?

[EndlessMike]

All of them I believe.

[Kerplunk_23]

I love goosebumps and would see the film probably but I dont think the younger people who haven't read it will be into it that much or understand it.

[drudo182]

Is R.L. Stine still writing books?

[WordzandDreamz]

Looks like the last thing he wrote was in 2004

[drudo182]

What a jack. He's obviously got to be set for life.

[slickwataris]

Looks like the last thing he wrote was in 2004
Goosebumps Horrorland #5 comes out in October. Bi-monthly schedule.

[DeathCabForCoon]
