About The children's book series Goosebumps by R.L. Stine will come to the big screen via Columbia Pictures. The best-selling Scholastic stories are horror adventures that usually feature twist endings.

My 5 cents Not much is known about the project, however the writing pair have had critical and box office success in the past with the likes of Man on the Moon, The People vs Larry Flynt and Ed Wood. They have also done kiddie features including that darn cat and agent Cody banks so depending on which way they go, whether sticking to tween thriller concept like in the book and TV series or something darker the pair should have it covered. In my childhood these were the twilight/harry potter books of the time, I never got into them and didn't watch the TV series at the time so I have little knowledge on it. With Sony on board think franchise.

Recommendation Not enough here for $25, wait for news on casting. Short
