The latest Goosebumps story is a tremendous tribute to the middle-grade novels.
Few properties have as large a footprint as Goosebumps in the world of horror literature. The middle-grade series by R.L. Stine is nothing short of iconic, serving as the entry point into horror for millions around the world. Because of the firepower the brand carries, it's one that's been mined time and time again for spinoffs and adaptations, with the latest coming in the form of a live-action series on Disney+ and Hulu.
Rather than following the formula of the first TV show and feeling more formulaically similar to the films, this Goosebumps takes place in a small Oregon town and follows the complicated relationships between teens Isabella , James , Lucas , Isaiah , and Margot , who shift from friends to enemies to frenemies to romantic partners.
And that may be where the show shines best: its faithfulness to the words Stine first wrote decades ago. There's a sense of naivety that courses through this show's bones, as if it were the tween novels actually come to life. The characters are written for consumption by children, with each of them interacting and making decisions you might expect from the audiences reading the books. On that front, it can be cheesy and campy but stops short of being tacky each time.
