The chilling anthology series is back for more withGoosebumps: The Vanishing, akaGoosebumpsseason 2. Based onR.L. Stine’s incredibly successful series of young adult horror novels, the newest incarnation ofGoosebumpshas taken the approach of telling a new story with each new season, the first of which was simply titledGoosebumps,presumably to softly relaunch the franchise without confusing audiences with a subtitle. This time around, the series will introduce a new cast of characters, led byFriendsstarDavid Schwimmer.
This isn’t the first time that theGoosebumpsfranchise has seen a new coat of paint applied to it. In 2015, Sony Pictures produced aGoosebumpsmovie starringJack Blackas R.L. Stine in a sort of meta take on the series where Stine’s creations escape from theGoosebumpsbooks and wreak havoc on the real world. The 2015 film was a critical and box office success, grossing $158 million worldwide on a budget of $58 million. The film received a sequel in 2018, entitledGoosebumps: Haunted Halloween, which didn’t fare quite as well, grossing $93 million worldwide on a $35 million budget. After the middling reception to the sequel, the franchise laid dormant before returning in 2023 in the form of the new series, whichR.L. Stine has praised for being accurate to his source material.
