  • From the Vault: Goosebumps (2015 film)
    Oct 16 2026

    Director Rob Letterman was faced with a daunting task: adapting the vast Goosebumps series into a single movie, rather than focusing on any one specific story. Join Luke & James in this former Patreon-exclusive episode as they revisit their childhood love for RL Stine, get meta with Jack Black, embrace some classic horror story tropes, and learn about the man behind the monsters himself.

    Shirley Jackson's most famous work is THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, but is it actually her best or does her final published novel before her death surpass it? In episode 396 join writer Luke Elliott & filmmaker James Bailey as they revel in some truly great sentences, wonder how reliable Merricat is as the narrator, try to understand Constance's behavior, and ponder the possibility that someone in this book might not be what they seem.
