Plot
Zach Cooper, 16, and his mother Gale Cooper moved from New York City, New York to the city of Madison, Delaware after the death of Zach's father recently. While trying to settle in a new environment, Zach meets his age girl named Hannah and her overly protective father. Fever'. Zach and Hannah became fast friends, but Mr. Shivers often warned Zach to avoid contact with them. At Madison High School where Gale works as vice principal, Zach befriends Champ, an awkward student socially.
The next day when Zach pulls out the garbage, Hannah appears behind her scaring her. When Zach asks why he did not see Hannah at school, he replies that he's at home educated by his father. Hannah then took Zach to an abandoned amusement park where the two climbed the Ferris wheel into Zach's disappointment. Both ties in one of the carriages before returning home where they were found by Hannah's father. Mr. Shivers warned Zach once again to stay away or something terrible would happen before disappearing behind the fence. Later that same night, Zach heard Mr. Shivers and Hannah argue, followed by Hannah shouting and something crashing. Zach called the police, but Mr. Shivers assured the officers that the sound was from television. Zach returns home with his mother who left shortly afterwards, to go to Dance Homecoming school, leaving Zach home alone with his aunt Lorraine. Afraid of Hannah in danger, Zach deceives Mr. Shivers to go to the police station for further interrogation and barge into his home with the help of Champ through the dungeon. The two then entered Mr. Shiver where they found a shelf containing many Goosebumps manuscripts - everything locked. Responding to Champ's curiosity, Zach opens one of the books, but when Hannah finds them, Zach drops him and releases the snowman from The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena. They chased the monster into the ice skating rink, where they tried to catch the snowman back in the book. When the trio is finally inserted in one of the boxes without a script, Mr. Shivers appeared behind the snowman and imprisoned him back into the book.
On the way home, Mr. Shivers inadvertently disclosed that he is the Goosebumps author of R.L. Stine. As soon as they returned home, she told Hannah to pack her things as they moved away once more. At Zach's insistence, Stine explains how he created the stories as a child to terrorize the people who mock them, but the monsters are alive and out of control, so he traps them in the script. Back in the study, they find an angry Slappy, from Night of the Living Dummy, waiting for them. Slappy burned his own manuscript in retaliation for his imprisonment and fled with all the texts intending to release all the monsters, escaping in the Haunted Car from a book of the same name, after releasing him. The group was attacked by live gnome grasses from the Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes, but when Stine and the boys tried to destroy them, each reformed the gnome. They realize that they can only escape.
Slappy rampaged Madison in Haunted Car, unleashing several monsters: mutant plants from Stay Out of the Basement destroying mobile towers, isolating the city, while a vampire poodle from Please Do not Feed Vampires! attacked Zach Lorraine's aunt, and Body Squeezers from Invasion Body Squeezers freezing police stations and officers. Zach begged Stine to write a new book that could trap every single monster, but he could only do it with Corona Smith's typewriter, which was showcased in high school. En route, Brent Green, from My Best Friend is Invisible , and a giant worship mantle, from A Shocker on Shock Street, attacked Stine's car, forcing them to hide in a supermarket. Will Blake, the werewolf from The Werewolf of Fever Swamp pursued them to the rear pier behind the supermarket, only to be hit by Lorraine (the survivor) to one of the trash cans. Stine and Lorraine share moments in which both show romantic interest to each other, before Zach asks Lorraine to tell the police at the police station.
At the police station, Lorraine tried to tell the police about the group's whereabouts but found the station empty. After trying to use one of the radios to get in touch with the officers, Slappy looked mocking in a police outfit showing how he had taken over the entire police station. The frightened Lorraine was immediately frozen by Squeezers Body after calling Slappy a doll.
The group cuts the cemetery where Zach notices that Hannah glows blue under the moonlight before they are attacked by the ghosts of the Tomb Cemetery Attack . After escaping from the cemetery, the group arrives at the school where Zach asks Stine personally about whether Hannah knows he is another character. She reveals that she is actually Hannah Fairchild of The Ghost Next Door . Stine created it to overcome his loneliness even though he did not know it, and did not expect Zach to understand his intentions. Zach later revealed that he understood with the loss of his father. The two then share moments before Hannah then shows up telling them how they found the typewriter. Stine acquired the typewriter and started writing new stories based on the events around them, while Slappy releases the rest of the Goosebumps monsters (including Haunted Mask, Prince Khor-Ru, Monster Swamp, Creep, Nila Rahmad, Scarecrow, Count Nightwing and more) outside on the school football field. Zach tries to warn the students about the events going on outside before the locusts attack the school that scares the students. Slappy then raises all the monsters to attack the school together to reach Stine and stop him, while Zach leads the students fending off all the detached monsters that attack the building. Bees from Why I Afraid the Bees attacked Zach in the library but he managed to defeat them. Meanwhile, the monster finally enters the school with the help of Annihilator 3000 from Toy Terror: Batteries Included . Slappy soon finds and confronts Stine, breaking his fingers with a typewriter case before the story finishes.
As students and staff in high school continued to fend off the Goosebumps monsters, the group boarded a school bus and headed for the abandoned amusement park. The monsters follow the chase and catch up with the school bus and tip the side. However it was revealed to be a bait with the group watching safely from another bus waiting for their plans to work. Upon opening the door, the school bus exploded and temporarily destroyed the monster that gave the group more time to escape. At the amusement park, the group took refuge in a fun house where Zach kept typing the story when Stine told him about it. Slappy immediately tracks them down and after revealing how he and Stine are the same persona, remove the blob from The Blob's Ate Everyone . Stine hands the book and typewriter into Zach and diverts the blob by letting it devour it. The group then climbs to the top of the Ferris wheel where Zach completes his story. However, when Slappy saw the book was not with Stine, he had a monster who attacked a raft mill that knocked him off his hinges and rolled hard out of the park. As the group climbs out, Hannah forces Zach to open the book but Zach is reluctant to open the book because Hannah will also be sucked in it. Revealing he knew the truth about him all along, Hannah opened the book, sucking Slappy and all the other Goosebumps monsters into it; he said goodbye to Zach with a kiss before he also sucked.
A few months later, Stine is revealed as a new replacement English teacher and how she is now dating Lorraine. After class, when Zach recalls Hannah to Stine, Stine reveals Hannah in the hallway. Stine explains to Zach that he rewrote his existence with one more book. Hannah and Zach kiss and leave school together while Stine burns Hannah's manuscript, making it permanently permanent. When Stine will leave school, she hears a click from typewriter typing by itself in the window. Much to his horror, Brent Green has avoided jail and started writing a new book called Goosebumps titled Vengeance of Invisible Boy .

Production
Development
The first attempt at the film Goosebumps, in 1998, was planned to be produced by Tim Burton. Chris Meledandri, president of Fox Family Films at the time, said, "I think you'll see we handle the scale of the story that will be very expensive to do on the small screen". However, the film did not materialize because they could not find the script they liked or decide which book or monster to adapt. In 2008, Columbia Pictures earned the right to make a movie Goosebumps . Neal Moritz and Deborah Forte, the last of whom had previously worked on a TV series, were chosen to produce the film. Scenario teams Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski were hired as screenwriters, and wrote original scripts for the film. The duo decided not to adapt one book in the series, felt the individual books in the series were too short. Thinking about how to create a universe where all the creatures in the book can live together, they choose to make a fake biopic film in which R. L. Stine writes the book and the monsters in it become real. In 2010, Carl Ellsworth was chosen to write the screenplay. On January 14, 2012, it was reported that the new draft scenario would be written by Darren Lemke; Lemke co-wrote the scenario for Shrek Forever After and Bryan Singer Jack the Giant Slayer . In November 2012, Stine expressed pessimism about the film's prospects, saying that he would believe that a movie could be based on the Goosebumps series when he saw it. He mentioned Where Wild Things Are is being adapted into a film nearly 50 years after publication.
Casting
In September 2013, it was reported that Jack Black was in talks to "play a Stine-like writer whose scary character actually jumped off the page, forcing him to hide from his creepy creations". Black states that he tries to make the character "more of a kind of dark teacher who whines dark, muses". He also said that he was trying to approach this movie in the same way as he did the others, trying to "make it as fun as possible". Black meets with R. L. Stine to get his approval for the film, but decides that his character can not be too similar to the original; Black explains that he needs characters to be more sinister. Rob Letterman was selected as the director, uniting it with Black, after working together at Shark Tale and Gulliver's Travels .

The film was promoted in the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con International where Jack Black and Rob Letterstein interacted with Slappy the Dummy. Slappy even brought some of his "friends" out of Monster Bog from the How to Kill the Monster, two Cemetery Beings from the Cemetery Tombs, Cronby Troll and a Mulgani from Far in the Jungle of Doom, Lord High Executioner from A Night in Terror Tower, Clown Killings from A Nightmare on Clown Street, Mummy of Prince Khor-Ru from Return of the Mummy Captain Long Ben One-Leg from Creep from the Deep , Professor Shock from The Creepy Creations Professor Shock, Counting Nightwing from Vampire Breath , Creep of Calling All Creeps! , Body Booster from Squeezers Body Invasion: Part 1 and Part 2 , Haunted Carly Mask Beth Caldwell is formed from The Haunted Mask , a Scarecrow of Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, and Head of Pumpkin from Jack-O'-Lanterns Attack . When Jack Black told Slappy that it was what Slappy wanted, Slappy instructed Lord High Executioner, Murder the Clown, and Professor Shock to bring Jack Black out to his car. When the monster leaves, Slappy tells Rob that some of his throws cause Rob to leave as well.
Some monsters because the appearances in the film were cut for budgetary reasons, but Letterman stated that the crew tried to pick the monsters that best fit the story. Letterman also stated that he tried to combine humor and horror in the film, commenting that "[t] he's the book itself is legally frightening, but they're legitimately funny, and we're trying to capture it".
