Being a great fan of the Goosebumps books and episodes, it is my pleasure to present the Goosebumps movie today. When I was a kid I spent most of my time in my room reading R.L. Stine's masterpiece Goosebumps books. I loved the books so much, I would run to my favorite section in the library wishing that a new Goosebump book was out that I already had not read. I liked every single book of his...excluding two of them I think. Anyways, I was excited to watch this movie being a Goosebumps girl.
The movie starts out with the introduction of the protagonist, actually I don't remember his name so I'll refer to him as 'Kid'. Like half of Stine's books, Kid moves into a small and creepy new town. He befriends the girl next door finding her attractive. Then follows the unpleasant encounter with the girl's father. The father tells him to buzz off and never come close to his home or daughter again. Kid befriends the girl not availing to the weird neighbor's threats. A few days later, he hears a girl screaming from the house next door. Kid suspects that the weirdo is hurting his daughter. So trying to be Sir Lancelot, he goes to rescue her. During the rescue, he finds out that the girl is fine. While trying to run away before the weirdo came home, they accidentally drop a book from a bookcase. As the book opens on the ground, an extremely large monster generates as if it came alive from the pages of the book. The monster is none other than The Abominable Snowman, from Stine's book. Weirdo arrives home and Kid finds out that the weirdo is none other than R.L.Stine. Stine explains that his books have the ability of coming to life. The story is quite long so I'll just halt here.
Notable characters from the Goosebumps books in the movie are the lawn gnomes, ghost dogs, mummies, werewolves, the walking dead, scarecrows, the blob and many more. The most anticipated character is Slappy the Dummy. Damn, that dummy is so evil and twisted, he won't stop at nothin. It is really entertaining to watch Slappy and all the Goosebump villains work together to destroy the town. The movie is really funny. There are at least 10 hilarious scenes within it. An awesome performance has been given by Jack Black and the three teens. The noteworthy guest appearance of R.L. Stine at the end is also pretty cool. Anyways, Goosebumps 2015 gives a package of entertainment fully loaded with action, comedy, fantasy, horror and a bit of love. The horror is not even close to the original creepiness produced by R.L. Stine in the his books, but the movie is definitely worth watching.
