Episode notes

In 2008, Columbia Pictures gets the rights to Goosebumps and starts people making a screenplay. It's been a long time before they settle on this idea of a character version of R.L. Stein who would write a book with the monsters in it or something like that. The treatment that we wind up with is by Darren Lemke who was a co-writer on Shrek Forever After and Jack and the Giant Slayer. He wrote and directed on the show Lost. And he also has a story credit on Goosebumps too, the Lost Halloween. What's the word I want? A lot of confidence.

Enjoy a bonus episode of our spookiest show-within-a-show yet! We read a selection of eight spooktacular books from R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series, and then we realized there was a movie!

This episode was originally released in November 2022. Some Patreon supporters get longread episodes monthly, but every two months we release them for general consumption.

And our next longread project is SAND BY ME, a reading of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Find out more about how to get these episodes monthly at patreon.com/overduepod.
