Goosebumps (film)

Goosebumps is a 2015 American horror comedy film based on R. L. Stine's children's horror novel series. It was directed by Rob Letterman with a screenplay by Darren Lemke, from a story by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. The film stars Jack Black as a fictionalized version of Stine who, alongside his teenage daughter (Odeya Rush) and their new neighbor (Dylan Minnette), must save their hometown after all the monsters from the Goosebumps franchise magically escape from their original manuscripts and wreak havoc. It additionally features Amy Ryan, Ryan Lee and Jillian Bell in supporting roles.

Development on a Goosebumps film adaptation began in the 1990s, but the project stalled. In early 2008, Columbia Pictures acquired the rights. Principal photography lasted from April to July 2014 in Candler Park, Atlanta.

Goosebumps was theatrically released in the United States on October 16, 2015. The film received positive reviews from critics, and grossed $158.3 million at the box office. A sequel titled Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween was released on October 12, 2018.
