The San Diego Comic-Con kicks off tomorrow, but Columbia Pictures is already painting the town green.
Collider shares some on-site photos that display the convention poster for Goosebumps, as well as art around town teasing “Slappy”, the demonic ventriloquist’s dummy. It’s exciting to see that the studio apparently is going all in on this children’s horror tale starring Jack Black.
Black will be joining the festivities on Thursday, July 24 to discuss the adaptation of the R.L. Stine series directed by Rob Letterman, who Black worked with on Shark Tale and Gulliver’s Travels.
In Goosebumps, in theaters August 7, 2015, Black plays the book’s author R.L. Stine.
The adaptation of the R.L. Stine books series follows a young boy who moves with his mother and sister to the small town of Greendale, Maryland. There, he meets veteran Young Adult horror author R. L. Stine, played by Jack Black. The infamous Slappy – a demonic ventriloquist’s dummy – comes into play and sets free the many many demons of Stine’s mind. Stine’s niece teams with the boy to put all the evil genies back in the bottle.
