“Say Cheese and Die!”

While I was on Hulu today, I came across this first episode in a new TV series based around the classic R.L. Stein book series, Goosebumps. I actually found it also on Disney + later in the day with five episodes dropped at the same time.

Watching the first episode on Hulu, it felt a little more mature of a story than other versions of Goosebumps.

According to IMDB, “A group of five high schoolers who unleash supernatural forces upon their town and must all work together thanks to and in spite of their friendships, rivalries, and pasts with each other in order to save it, learning much about their own parents’ teenage secrets in the process.“

Justin Long plays Nathan Bratt, the new owner of a local house with the reputation for being haunted. Zach Morris is Isaiah, one of the high schoolers who was involved. He was a quarterback who found a camera that could tell the future.

This does not seem to be an anthology series as it appears that the story continues through the episodes available on Disney +.

This was reasonably fun and I will give it a try as it goes on.
