Goosebumps coming to the multiplex!

Finally, a big-screen adaptation of R.L. Stein's Goosebumps series is in the works! Writers Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander are in negotiations to pen a live-action adaptation for Columbia Pictures. Not only did these dudes write Man on the Moon, Ed Wood, and Tales from the Crypt, but the duo also penned Problem Child, the early 90's film that gave us the unforgettable image of John Ritter drinking something he thought was lemonade, but was in fact his kid's urine. In other words, they are the perfect pair to adapt the creepy but goofy series for the screen.

Mmm, Goosebumps... the very word invokes a sense memory overload of my 12-year-old self making frantic trips back and forth to the local library on my bike, desperate to read the next book. And oh, how thrillingly frightful they were! Night of the Living Dummy! One Day at Horrorland! A Shocker on Shock Street! The Haunted Mask! Fun Fact: According to the Hollywood Reporter, the books "have grossed hundreds of millions for Stine and Scholastic, second only to the "Harry Potter" series."
