Is The New Goosebumps Show Connected To The Movies?

Disney’s Goosebumps reboot looks a lot like the recent Goosebumps live-action movies, raising the question of whether these two incarnations of the franchise are related. Goosebumps began life in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s as a series of children’s horror novels from RL Stine. This bestselling series soon spawned a TV adaptation that served as a launching ground for future stars like Ryan Gosling. Decades later, Goosebumps was revived as two horror-comedy movies, both self-aware efforts that saw Jack Black play a fictionalized version of Stine whose manuscripts were used to keep the monsters from his brain contained within their pages.
