Goosebumps
R.L. Stine lives with his teenage daughter, Hannah, in an old house and has written the Goosebumps books. It is his mission to ensure all the monsters he created are sealed up tight in the manuscripts, which is why he warns others to stay away from his home. But when a young boy named Zach Cooper moves in, the books are unlocked. All of the Goosebumps villains, ranging from the Werewolf of Fever Swamp and the marauding Lawn Gnomes all the way to the nefarious Slappy the Dummy, are unleashed, and it's up to Stine and the kids to stop them.
