After 2 feature films, R. L. Stine's Goosebumps is getting a new life on the small screen, this time on Disney+.

The original Goosebumps enjoyed a healthy run on Fox in the 90's, and reruns had aired on Cartoon Network, of all places, at one point, then moved to The Hub (now Discovery Kids).
Of course, this is not the first time that a youth horror series has been revived. Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of The Dark? was brought back a ways back, but the revival didn't last. Goosebumps, though, was the one that started the trend of adapting youth horror books for television. Stine's Nightmare Room spent one season at Kids' WB! (2001), and hasn't been seen since, for example.
Given that Goosebumps is now at Disney, it could have a chance to match or eclipse its Fox run. Stay tuned.
