Goosebumps (1995 TV series)

Goosebumps is an American supernatural horror television series developed by Rob Letterman and Nicholas Stoller for Disney+ and Hulu. It is based on the book series by R. L. Stine. ^[1] The series abandons the episodic anthology format of the 1995 original TV series to focus on a serialized-anthology style of storytelling instead, changing storylines from season to season instead of episode to episode while still featuring some of the existing Goosebumps monsters and items episodically.

In 2020, a series based on the Goosebumps books was announced to be in development by Sony Pictures Television alongside Original Film and Scholastic Entertainment, all of whom previously developed the films Goosebumps (2015) and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018), that were both from Sony Pictures Animation, based on the books. Letterman, the first film's director, was hired by 2022 to write and produce the series alongside Stoller. Letterman also directed the pilot episode.

Goosebumps was released on October 13, 2023, on Disney+ and Hulu simultaneously as a part of the "Hallowstream" and "Huluween" streaming blocks, respectively. ^{[2] [3]} It received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised the story, visuals, cinematography, writing, acting and casting with a particular amount of praise going towards some of the monster designs and the darker, more serious tone, though there was some criticism for the pacing and the remaining monster designs. In February 2024, the series was renewed for a second season with a different cast and storyline. The second season titled Goosebumps: The Vanishing will debut on Disney+ on January 10, 2025, consisting of eight episodes.

Synopsis

In Season 1, a group of five high schoolers embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle — while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents' past. ^[4]

In Season 2, teenage siblings discover a threat within their home, setting off a chain of events that unravel a profound mystery. As they delve into the unknown, the duo find themselves entangled in the story of five teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994.

Star high school quarterback Isaiah and his girlfriend Allison use the Biddle House for their Halloween party. Isaiah finds a Polaroid camera in the basement where Harold died and takes a photo of Allison and Margot, his neighbor and childhood friend. When he saves Margot from an allergic reaction he saw her having on her photo, he realizes the camera depicts future bad things that will happen to the people in its photos. His photo shows him with a badly broken arm; sure enough, Isaiah breaks his arm at the game after hallucinating that the football field is full of burning monsters.

Nora passes on a photo of Harold Biddle to Isaiah, who recognizes him from the hallucination at the football game. When Isabella is punished by her mother for the drone, she wears the mask and attacks Lucas, transforming into an actual troll. When she almost attacks her little brother, she stops herself, and they discard the mask while the possessed Bratt watches.

Kanduu, when he used to be a human, was injured in an unnamed war in 1879, but found a cave with mysterious carvings which healed him. A few years later, he meets Mahar, a struggling puppet maker in a failed circus, and makes a deal with him. A year later, he delivers human puppets to Mahar and in return wants a perfect dummy. Mahar, realizing the mistake he made by trusting Kanduu, instead traps him in the dummy. In the present day, Kanduu captures almost all of the people in Port Lawrence including Lucas, and turns them into puppets. Whilst searching for them, Isaiah reveals his feelings to Margot. Kanduu then captures Margot, Isaiah, James, Isabella, and Nathan. Nathan is secretly researching how Kanduu can be defeated. He explains to the group that the markings told him to gather 1,000 people for a sacrifice in a "special place" which is revealed to be the remains of Mahar's decrepit circus. This in turn will unleash monsters that will force humanity to stop wars among themselves and start fighting the real monsters. Finding a spell to stop him, they trap him in a false vision of his mission being accomplished with Mahar's help. Nathan realizes he is Mahar's descendant, but before they can stop him, he breaks out and goes to finish the task himself, trapping them with blackish clouds. Isaiah uses Kanduu's book to repel these clouds and gives the book to Margot, whilst he combats Kanduu. Margot finds the spell that saved Kanduu and reverses it, making him human again. The souls of all the people he killed in his journey come from hell and drag him, but not before he shoots at Margot. Isaiah jumps to save Margot but is inflicted with the bullet and in critical condition in the hospital. Ben and his wife are told that Isaiah is going to die. Margot talks to him and says yes to his proposal. Isaiah dies, but Margot uses the book to revive him. Distraught over Isaiah's perceived death, a grief-stricken Nathan goes to the bathroom to wash his face and realizes that Kanduu's spirit is in his body, as he sees Kanduu's smiling face in the mirror instead of his reflection.

Development

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Goosebumps (2015) producer approached director Rob Letterman with the idea of making a TV series based on the Goosebumps book series. Excited at the idea of working on a television show, Letterman accepted and approached longtime collaborator Nicholas Stoller to develop the series with him, which he ultimately agreed due to both his relationship with Letterman and an interest in developing horror-oriented material. ^{[13] [14]}

On April 28, 2020, it was announced that a live action reboot TV series of the Goosebumps franchise was in the works by Scholastic Entertainment, Sony Pictures Television and Neal H. Moritz's production company Original Film, which produced both the 2015 film and its sequel. ^[15] In March 2021, R.L. Stine stated that the series had found a producer and a director. ^[16] On February 4, 2022, it was reported that Disney+ had picked up the show, giving it a 10-episode order. Rob Letterman returned from the 2015 film (from Sony Pictures Animation) to direct the pilot, as well as write and executive produce the series with Nicholas Stoller. ^[4] The series was partially produced via Zoom calls due to the industry-wide lockdown during the pandemic. ^[14]

In October 2023, producers Conor Welch and Pavun Shetty expressed interest in developing additional seasons that adapted additional Goosebumps books, ^[17] with Shetty in particular expressing interest in exploring elements from the Night of the Living Dummy books in season 2. ^[18] On February 10, 2024, the series was renewed for an eight-episode second season and is set to focus on a different cast and storyline. ^[19]

Casting

In October 2022, Justin Long, Ana Yi Puig, Miles McKenna, Will Price, Zack Morris, Isa Briones and Rachael Harris were cast to star in the series. ^{[20] [21] [22] [23]} In January 2023, Rob Huebel was added to the cast in a recurring guest star role. ^[24]

Goosebumps author R. L. Stine makes a voice cameo in "Night of the Living Dummy Part 2" as the host of the podcast Let the Write One In. Stoller and Letterman originally planned for Stine to have a physical cameo, but plans were discarded due to Stine's unavailability, after which showrunner Hilary Winston and co-executive producer James Egan pitched the idea of Stine voicing a podcast host instead. ^[25] In March 2024, David Schwimmer, Ana Ortiz, Sam McCarthy, Jayden Bartels, Elijah Cooper, Galilea La Salvia, and Francesca Noel were cast as series regulars for the second season. ^{[8] [9] [10]} In May 2024, Arjun Athalye, Eloise Payet, Christopher Paul Richards, Kyra Tantao, Stony Blyden, and Sakina Jaffrey joined the cast in recurring roles. ^[11]

Filming

Principal photography began in October 2022 in Vancouver and was expected to end in March 2023, ^[26] with Stephen McNutt and Thomas Yatsko serving as cinematographers. ^{[27] [28]} In February 2023, filming also occurred at Whistler Olympic Park. ^[29] At the behest of Letterman, the series made strong use of practical effects, which he felt allowed the series' scarier elements to "feel grounded" and "real". The production team focused on making sure the effects looked realistic, as they wanted audiences to feel as invested as the characters were with the series' events. ^[30]

Post-production

Christopher S. Capp and Tuan Quoc Le serve as editors on the series. ^{[31] [32]}
