Goosebumps (film)

Goosebumps is a 2015 American live-action/computer-animated comedy horror film written by Darren Lemke and directed by Rob Letterman. Based on R. L. Stine's children's horror book series of the same name, it follows a teenager who tries to save his town with Stine's help after all the monsters from the Goosebumps franchise begin to escape from their books, wreaking havoc in the real world. The film stars Jack Black, Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Amy Ryan, Ryan Lee, and Jillian Bell.

The development of a Goosebumps feature film adaptation began in 1998, with Tim Burton attached to direct. After failing to find a script to determine which book to adapt, the project was halted. In early 2008, Columbia Pictures acquired the rights to create a Goosebumps-based film, and the project reentered development. Principal photography lasted from April to July 2014 in Candler Park, Atlanta.

Goosebumps was theatrically released in the United States on October 16, 2015, by Columbia Pictures. The film was a commercial and critical success, with praise for its humor, usage of the Goosebumps characters, and grossed $158 million against its $84 million budget. A sequel, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, was released on October 12, 2018.
