I remember when these books came out, I was obsessed with reading them (my friend was the one who really got me into them.) I guess kids still read them, my 10 year old sister has two of these books up by her bed right now. Then of course the beginning of the end started when they began making the TV series, which really sucked.

So I feel that if they could do a Goosebumps movie correctly it might actually be worth going to see. Just as long as they stay away from the corny acting and crappy visual effects, like the show, then I’ll be happy!

Well… if they made a Goosebumps movie i hope they aim for a teen audience, and not a kids movie like the show.

Hopefully, they will at least “try” to make it scary, and i really wouldn’t mind if they made it like Tales from the Darkside, in where it is 3 stories in one movie.

This has the potential to do well, but I’m betting it won’t. The books were great for the young target audience they catered to, but the television series was absolutely horrible. Perhaps it didn’t seem that way then, but I too happend to catch some reruns of it during a Halloween marathon and it ranks up there with some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen…and not even in a funny way.

If they wind up with good directing/producing and actually shell out for legit actors, maybe this will work, but I’m still not holding my breath.

Stories aren’t so great. I’ll skip it.

The goosebumps book franchise was awesome so was the tv show, im not sure on how they will make it all into one huge story since Goosebumps is composed of many different stories. My bet is they will make full length feauture films of the most popular Goosebumps books e.g Night of the living Dummy or The haunted mask.

I do remember reading the Goosebumps series. I also remember that some of the books were made into one hour shows for Saturday mornings. Very enjoyable plots and can easily be made into movies like “Tales from the Crypt”.

I think this would be a very fun, and lucrative franchise. Especially if they adapt the books faithfully, and give kids the same experience the books did. The books were so immersive and fun, and if they can translate this to the screen it will be one big franchise.
