R.L. Stine's bestselling children's book series Goosebumps is headed to the big screen, and below are ten of the scary monsters that will appear in the live-action film. Let's see, we got a pumpkin-headed monster, a pirate, a vampire, a mummy, a scarecrow, a nightmarish clown, a gypsy woman, a zombie and a dummy. The dummy is a fan-favorite, who is named 'Slappy.' He'll be the film's main villain, controlling the other monsters. He first appeared in R.L. Stine's Night of the Living Dummy.

My favorite is the pumpkin-headed monster. I'll have to duck for cover when that scary clown appears. Ugh, clowns.

The film will star Jack Black ("School of Rock"), and is being directed by Rob Letterman ("Monsters Vs. Aliens"). Letterman previously worked with Black on Gulliver's Travels and Shark Tale. Goosebumps was previously adapted into a live-action television show for four seasons on Fox Kids Network, as well as Cartoon Network in 2007.


 
No footage from the film has been officially released, but these promotional images are probably an indication that a trailer is coming soon. A trailer was shown at the San Diego Comic-Con convention this past year. Here's a description:
We see a vision of beautiful small town America. A new family moves into a house; creepy neighbors, the Stine family, live next door. When the boy (Dylan Minnette) sees a Rear Window-esque event next door, he breaks into the house. There he discovers the truth. The ultra popular author keeps the monsters he created locked up in his original manuscripts. The house, shrouded in dark shadows, is appropriately creepy.

The trailer then cuts to Stine and the kids driving in the town and a massive preying mantis attacks them. (It will be CG, but was seen here in a pre-viz render as the film is so far from release.) “I don’t remember writing a giant preying mantis,” Stine says. It spits on the car and THEN he remembers. Then we see them being chased by the Snowman of Pasadena. There’s a huge funhouse, a wolfman character, knife-throwing gnomes and then the ventriloquist dummy Slappy, who is the ringleader of all of the monsters. (That book was named as a favorite by both Black and Letterman.) A slew of additional action scenes were shown, making it seem like almost every single monster from the books is in the film. - Screen Rant

And not a single ounce of CGI needed. :)

I know Slappy, the pumpkin head guy and the executioner guy are from the books. I don't know about the others.

I wonder if they'll make a modern theme out of the original television theme?

One of my favorite ones when I was a kid was Attack of the Mutant because he looked cool.

I also remember the Horrorland episodes and books along with Monster Blood.

Oh, and how could I forgot all of the Haunted Mask episodes and books. Those were classic. I could go on all day about my Goosebumps memories.

Here's another one.

I couldn't stand looking at this book back in the 3rd grade. We had ordered dominos that night and I just kept thinking that something like this would've happened. (minus the cat) lol



My favorite would have to be:

I think the executioner is from Terror Tower and this dinosaur-looking guy is from Calling All Creeps.

Awesome to see Slappy. Night of the Living Dummy was one of my favourites, along with Welcome to Camp Nightmare and Monster Blood II. Really wish they would put Cuddles into the film, but I'll see it regardless.

I just hope that Slappy lives up to Billy from Dead Silence. He's my favourite movie doll villain, even better than Chucky.

the haunted mask was the creepiest episode ever

These books were the all the rage when I was in 6th grade!

The twist here is what intrigues me more... part of me is hoping for some 'Twilight Zone' style reveal where they show that the whole movie is actually just a film being watched by monsters in a cinema and that the humans are evil.

None of these are as scary as Gusto when its his turn to be the Hall Monitor.

That actually wouldn't surprise me, with Goosebumps.

@Scarillian

Maybe they'll take a page out of Camp Nightmare's story, and have the movie take place somewhere other than Earth. But not tell us until the end...

they actually don't look all that scary.

Am I the only one that would want to see a feature length film made from Are You Afraid of the Dark? The Tale of the Curious Camera, and the Tale of the Dead Man's Float are cherished tv episodes from my childhood.

End it with Jack Blask having the Haunted Mask stuck on his face and we're all good for this movie, extra credit for it notfollowing standard Shitty CGI formula and actually making the monsters look scary for lil kiddies while saving em some dolla bills

This will be incredibly corny and will be an insult to my childhood but I'll still be seeing it in theaters.

It'd be funny if Jeff Dunham did the voice of the puppet and there is a joke about the Annabelle doll.

I loved the books and 90's TV series when I was a kid.
