The film is directed by Ari Sandel, written by Rob Lieber, and produced by Deborah Forte and Neal H. Moritz. Jeremy Ray Taylor is one of the kid stars here and if he looks familiar it’s because he’s also the star of another horror film, It (2017) and he also played a bully in the first Ant-Man from Marvel. Wendi McLendon-Covey might look familiar to fans of The Goldbergs, she’s the mom and uses her extensive comedic talents to play Taylor’s mom. Madison Iseman plays Taylor’s sister after coming off of the hit Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

Up until now the Goosebumps 2 trailers kept Jack Black’s involvement out. It was highly unlikely that Black wouldn’t appear, but it was still fun for there to be a bit of mystery around it. However, this is the business of selling tickets, and Sony knows they’ll sell a few more if people are assured Black will appear. This short but sweet trailer confirms that Black’s R.L. Stine is back in the film version of R.L. Stine’s books about one of R.L. Stine’s books running amok.
