Goosebumps

Goosebumps (2015) is a family horror-comedy starring Jack Black that you can watch online on iFILM. Teenager Zach moves to a quiet town and quickly befriends the girl next door, Hannah, and her guarded father.

That father turns out to be R.L. Stine, the author whose teen scare stories sold by the millions. He keeps his manuscripts locked away for a reason: the monsters inside them are real, and the printed page is the only thing holding them prisoner. When Zach carelessly cracks one book open, everything breaks loose at once on the town, a towering praying mantis, an army of vicious garden gnomes, and the smirking ventriloquist dummy Slappy out for revenge. Now the writer, his daughter, and Zach have to trap every creature back between the lines.

Director Rob Letterman crowds dozens of characters from the book series into one fast, noisy ride, and Jack Black plays Stine with a jittery, oddball charm. It's a light scare for the whole family, more playful than frightening. Stream Goosebumps (2015) online on iFILM.
