Ahead of its series debut later this week, Disney+ has dropped the first Goosebumps clip from its upcoming series adaptation of R.L. Stine’s best-selling horror novel series.
The video features three high schoolers trying to set up a party at their town’s infamous haunted house. However, things don’t exactly go their way when the lights suddenly turned off. The series will start streaming on October 13 on Disney+ and Hulu with the first five episodes.

What to expect in Goosebumps?
“The horror comedy follows a group of five high schoolers who unleash supernatural forces upon their town and must all work together — thanks to and in spite of their friendships, rivalries and pasts with each other — in order to save it, learning much about their own parents’ teenage secrets in the process,” reads the synopsis.
Disney+’s Goosebumps series is created and executive produced by Nick Stoller and Rob Letterman, who previously directed the first Goosebumps film in 2015. It stars Justin Long as Nathan Bratt, Miles McKenna as James, Will Price as Jeff, Ana Yi Puig as Isabella, Zack Morris as Isaiah, Isa Briones as Jane, Rachael Harris as Nora, and Rob Huebel as Colin.
The adaptation will draw on elements from five popular books of the original Goosebumps novel series including Say Cheese and Die!, The Haunted Mask, The Cuckoo Clock of Doom, Go Eat Worms! and Night of the Living Dummy. It is executive produced by Kevin Murphy, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Conor Welch, Erin O’Malley, Iole Lucchese, Caitlin Friedman, Julia Ruchman, James Eagan, and Nick Adams, with Murphy also serving as showrunner.
