If it weren’t for books, movie theaters would be a whole lot less interesting. The most talked-about movies are usually based on books—and every year, adaptations promise more of the same delights for readers and filmgoers. Make sure you’re part of the conversation: a brief read before the book hit the screen.

R.L.Stine’s creations manages to crawl their way out of story books:
In a brilliant stroke of screenwriting, the Goosebumps movie pulls legendary kids’ and teen horror author R.L. Stine (Jack Black) into the fray, in a story that reimagines (OR DOES IT) Stine as menaced by his scary creations, whom he manages to keep locked up in their books. When the monsters are released, it’s up to two plucky kids to save the day.--Goosebumps, by R.L. Stine

Movie Goosebumps;
An upcoming 2015 American 3D live-action/computer-animated supernatural horror comedy film directed by Rob Letterman and written by Scott Alexander, Larry Karaszewski, and Darren Lemke. It is based on the children's book series of the same name by R. L. Stine and stars Jack Black as Stine. The film is scheduled to be released on October 16, 2015, by Columbia Pictures.
After moving into a small town, a teenage boy named Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) meets Hannah (Odeya Rush), his new neighbor. Hannah's father R. L. Stine (Jack Black), who writes the Goosebumps stories, keeps all the ghosts and monsters in the series locked up in his manuscripts. Zach unintentionally releases the ghouls and the monsters from the manuscripts. Now Zach, Hannah, and Stine team up in order to put the monsters back where they came from, before it's too late.
In the new trailer for Goosebumps, every single one of Stine’s creations manages to crawl their way out of the books and take over the town of Greendale, Maryland, but since around 200 Goosebumps books have been published it’s going to be a challenge to fit them all on screen. Iconic characters like Slappy the Dummy and the Abominable Snowman play significant roles, but this movie also promises to be a treasure trove of references and Easter eggs.
The movie, rather than turning one of the series books into a film, instead has Black portray Stine, the author of the scary children-books, and creates a new story that incorporates many of the author's creations coming to life to wreak havoc. In the movie the original manuscripts of Stine's books have monsters and scary creature trapped inside them. If the manuscripts are opened then monsters are unleashed. Spoiler alert: manuscripts are opened.
