Goosebumps

A live-action feature adaptation of the R.L. Stine book series Goosebumps has been kicking around Columbia Pictures for months (if not years), and the last we heard Carl Ellsworth (co-writer of Red Dawn and Disturbia) had come aboard to write the screenplay. But things have changed, and now Darren Lemke (Jack the Giant Killer) is starting over from Page One.

In a lot of cases horror fans are cultivated from a young age, so it's up to all you parents of budding genre fans out there to make sure your kids follow in the family tradition and embrace everything spooky aimed at their generation. Case in point: two thrilling all-new Goosebumps adventures - "Attack of the Mutant" and "Ghost Beach", which arrive on DVD September 13th.

Ah, Goosebumps! You've served as horror training wheels for so many of today's fans. It's about time that you got a feature film adaptation! And so you shall!

If you were a child of the late Seventies/early Eighties (or have kids of your own), then no doubt you're more than a little familiar with R.L. Stine's series of children's horror fiction novellas known as Goosebumps. If so, Halloween will be coming early for you when two new collections of spooky Goosebumps stories scream onto DVD September 7th from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

It's a bumper crop of DVDs hitting store shelves this week, including the latest group of After Dark's "8 Films to Die For".

Now this is an interesting development that may just make me want to get out and see the first Goosebumps feature when it’s all said and done.

Finally, the popular kids horror series Goosebumps is making its way to the big screen. The hopes and prayers of thousands of kids (who are probably far too old to care now) have been answered. I wonder if it’s too late?
