Stine’s legendary Scholastic book series, is all set to make its debut on Disney+ and Hulu. The announcement, made today, revealed that the series will premiere on Friday, October 13th. Just in time for Halloween.

From the collaborative efforts of Disney Branded Television and Sony Pictures Television, this 10-part series promises to be a haunting experience. It will kick off with a five-episode drop as part of Disney+’s “Hallowstream” and Hulu’s “Huluween” celebrations, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly. Also, the series’ first two episodes will also be broadcast on Freeform on October 13th, as part of its “31 Nights of Halloween” programming.

Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, expressed excitement about bringing this cult classic to a new generation of fans, saying, “R.L. Stine’s ‘Goosebumps’ franchise is a pop culture phenomenon that holds a special place in the hearts of people of all ages. We are delighted to bring this spooky new series to audiences everywhere in a big way on Disney+ and Hulu, which we hope will not only captivate new audiences with its elevated thrills and chills but also lifelong fans nostalgic for the stories that are a staple of their generation.”

The “Goosebumps” series promises to plunge viewers into a world of mystery and suspense as it follows a group of five high schoolers on a shadowy and twisted journey. Their mission?
