In the second season of Goosebumps, available on both Disney+ and Hulu, fans were taken aback as they found that the familiar characters weren’t continuing their story from where it ended. Instead, when they tuned in for the premiere, they discovered that Goosebumps had adopted an anthology-style format akin to American Horror Story. This means each season presents fresh characters embarking on a new spine-tingling journey inspired by R.L. Stine’s classic books.
As a movie reviewer, I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on the latest offering from the Goosebumps universe – the new season, entitled “Goosebumps: The Vanishing.” This time, we find ourselves immersed in an entirely fresh setting, far removed from the events of Season 1. Instead, we have David Schwimmer stepping into the limelight as our main protagonist, taking over from Justin Long’s captivating performance in the initial installment. The world may appear altered, yet it remains undeniably a Goosebumps story at heart. With its chilling narrative and suspenseful atmosphere, “The Vanishing” promises to keep you on the edge of your seat!
Prior to the start of the new season this weekend, ComicBook interviewed executive producers Rob Letterman and Hilary Winston regarding their decision to switch to a fresh narrative, even though the first season ended on such an open note. In Letterman’s words, who was also a co-creator of the TV series, the primary goal was to replicate the atmosphere of the original Goosebumps books.
As I delved into the concept, I found that it took some time for the idea of “Goosebumps” to truly resonate with me. What struck me was the anthology-style nature of the series – each book stands alone, not tied up neatly in a conclusive ending. Instead, they often conclude with unexpected twists or turns, which aligns perfectly with the established lore of “Goosebumps”. This approach allowed us to venture into uncharted territories, explore various genres, and experience fear anew.
Letterman further explained that switching to an anthology structure for Goosebumps was a smart move because it enhances the story’s credibility over time. Keeping the same characters in terrifying situations episode after episode could make the audience doubt their reactions, as either they would grow immune to the horrors or they would choose to escape from their predicament.
There’s a hint of reality in our jokes about this: How frequently and over how many years can a character face terror without becoming completely desensitized to the next frightening creature? For instance, if an abominable snowman appeared in Season 3 with the same group of characters, we wouldn’t expect the same reaction. Therefore, it seems logical that this change was necessary.
All 10 episodes of Goosebumps: The Vanishing are streaming on both Disney+ and Hulu.
