It warms our hearts to see the work of R.L. Stine, a staple of many fans’ childhood, getting all of the attention that he is today. With Goosebumps whipping but and an adaptation of his Fear Street series on the way, there’s never been a better time to become acquainted with Stine’s unique brand of shivers.
Speaking of the latter, The Tracking Board is reporting that 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment have hired Kyle Killen (Scenic Route) to write the script for Fear Street.
Stine began writing Fear Street in 1989, several years before Goosebumps came to be. It told the macabre tales of the town of Shadyside, Ohio. A place in which teens were dropping like flies to all manner of baddies. Fear Street was meant for an older crowd than Goosebumps and later in 1995 a series of books entitled Ghosts of Fear Street was penned to bring the series to a younger audience. Fear Street ran for 52 titles.
