The brand new “Goosebumps” television series from Disney+ and Hulu premiered on Friday, October 13, with the first five episodes now available for streaming.
Iconic elements from R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books are woven throughout the series, and the first five episodes tease that the evil dummy known as Slappy is coming soon.
Slappy, introduced in the 1993 book Night of the Living Dummy, has become the true “horror icon” of the Goosebumps world, often appearing in adaptations of Stine’s classic terror tales. Slappy was a central figure in the recent live action movies, and it’s clear he’s also a major player in the brand new “Goosebumps” live action series from Disney+ and Hulu.
What role does Slappy play in the new series? You’ll have to continue tuning in to find out. New episodes of “Goosebumps” premiere on a weekly basis on both Disney+ and Hulu.
The marketing for “Goosebumps” has thus far included massive Slappy billboards with moving eyes, and Slappys have even been spotted outside movie theaters playing Taylor Swift’s record-breaking concert movie Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. Photos sent to Bloody Disgusting show Slappy handing out friendship bracelets to Swifties entering their local theaters.
Keep your eyes peeled… you never know where Slappy might show up next…
Plunging viewers into a world of mystery and suspense, the new “Goosebumps” series – based on the works of R.L. Stine – follows a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle — while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past.
