Goosebumps’ New Trailer: Justin Long Faces Possession While Teens Unravel a Haunting Mystery
The world of R.L. Stine is set to haunt our screens once again, as a fresh adaptation of the iconic “Goosebumps” series is on the horizon. Scheduled for a grand premiere on Disney+ and Hulu on October 13, the series introduces us to five curious high school students. Their quest? To unravel the mystery surrounding the death of Harold Biddle, a teenager whose life was tragically cut short three decades ago. But as they dig deeper, they stumble upon unsettling secrets, ones that tie their own parents to the dark past of the Biddle house.
Leading the ensemble is the talented Justin Long, portraying Mr. Nathan Bratt, the town’s new English teacher. Bratt’s decision to move into the old Biddle residence sets the stage for a series of eerie events. The trailer teases a conversation between Bratt and a character named Nora, played by the versatile Rachael Harris, hinting at the house’s haunted reputation.
Joining the narrative are teenagers James (Miles McKenna), Margot (Isa Briones), Isaiah (Zack Morris), Isabella (Ana Yi Puig), and Lucas (Will Price). Their adventurous exploration of the Biddle home takes a dark turn when apparitions, presumably of Harold, begin to manifest.
This 10-episode series isn’t just a random pick from Stine’s vast collection. It meticulously weaves narratives from five standout novels: “Say Cheese and Die!“, “The Haunted Mask”, “The Cuckoo Clock of Doom“, “Go Eat Worms!“, and “Night of the Living Dummy“. With over 400 million copies of Stine’s books sold in 32 languages, the series has a rich tapestry to draw from.
Justin Long assures that the series will be a treat for all, stating, “A lot of these stories will be a total surprise.” He emphasizes the series’ ability to evoke a range of emotions, from fear to laughter to tears.
Ayo Davis, the president of Disney Branded Television, encapsulated the excitement surrounding the series, highlighting its potential to resonate with a diverse audience, from newbies to those who grew up with Stine’s tales.
Mark your calendars for October 13, as “Goosebumps” promises a rollercoaster of emotions, with the first five episodes dropping on Disney+ and Hulu, followed by weekly releases.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed
The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.
Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.
The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.
Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”
Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Perhaps the Scariest, Most Disturbing Series of The Year
You may have never heard of Richard Gadd, but that will probably change after this month. His mini-series Baby Reindeer just hit Netflix and it’s a terrifying deep dive into abuse, addiction, and mental illness. What is even scarier is that it’s based on Gadd’s real-life hardships.
The crux of the story is about a man named Donny Dunn played by Gadd who wants to be a stand-up comedian, but it’s not working out so well thanks to stage fright stemming from his insecurity.
One day at his day job he meets a woman named Martha, played to unhinged perfection by Jessica Gunning, who is instantly charmed by Donny’s kindness and good looks. It doesn’t take long before she nicknames him “Baby Reindeer” and begins to relentlessly stalk him. But that is just the apex of Donny’s problems, he has his own incredibly disturbing issues.
This mini-series should come with a lot of triggers, so just be warned it is not for the faint of heart. The horrors here don’t come from blood and gore, but from physical and mental abuse that go beyond any physiological thriller you may have ever seen.
“It’s very emotionally true, obviously: I was severely stalked and severely abused,” Gadd said to People, explaining why he changed some aspects of the story. “But we wanted it to exist in the sphere of art, as well as protect the people it’s based on.”
The series has gained momentum thanks to positive word-of-mouth, and Gadd is getting used to the notoriety.
“It’s clearly struck a chord,” he told The Guardian. “I really did believe in it, but it’s taken off so quickly that I do feel a bit windswept.”
You can stream Baby Reindeer on Netflix right now.
