    This version is updated with interesting plots, clever dialogue, and lots of pop culture references. While some pre-teens will enjoy it, it feels like the target audience skews a touch older thanks to some genuine creepiness throughout.

    Ultimately, "Goosebumps" isn't reinventing the wheel, but is instead an amalgamation of a variety of well-loved ideas and themes and given a fresh new spin. Which was, at its core, exactly what R.L. Stine was doing with his original book series. As such, this makes this new series the best adaptation of "Goosebumps" yet.

    It’s kind of remarkable what the Goosebumps team has done here: taken a campy horror franchise and made it resonant, managing to mix frights and feels.

    The new "Goosebumps" strikes a nice balance. You'll be on edge, without falling out of your seat.
