First Full Trailer for Goosebumps Movie Has Lots of Monsters

Posted on July 8, 2015

Here is the first full trailer for the Goosebumps movie starring Jack Black as R.L. Stine, the author of the bestselling Goosebumps kids' horror books. Dylan Minnette plays teen Zach Cooper who moves in next door the famous author who lives in the small town of Greendale, Maryland.

Zach is interested to learn that a a beautiful girl named Hannah (Odeya Rush) lives next door (Stine is her uncle). There is something really odd about Stine's house and one night Zach and his friends get inside the house to discover what is really going on.

They discover that Stine has a secret: all the monsters he writes about in his books are real and he is a prisoner. In order to keep humans safe, he keeps the monsters locked up in the manuscripts that tell their stories. Zach accidentally unleashes the monsters and they begin to wreak havoc on the town. They must band together to save the town and force the monsters back where they belong -- in print.

The film has a clever conceit and Jack Black does a great R.L. Stine. The movie doesn't really look scary, so it should be a fun family film. The film also stars Amy Ryan, Len Marino, Kumail Nanjiani, Jillian Bell, Jared Sandler and Ella Wahlestedt. Take a look:
