Goosebumps New Series Coming to Disney+ and Hulu

Goosebumps

“Goosebumps,” the chilling new series inspired by R.L. Stine’s worldwide bestselling Scholastic book series, is set to debut across both Disney+ and Hulu on Friday, Oct. 13. From Disney Branded Television and Sony Pictures Television, the 10-part series will launch with a five-episode drop as part of Disney+’s “Hallowstream” and Hulu’s “Huluween” celebrations, with subsequent new episodes streaming weekly. Additionally, the series’ first two episodes will air on Freeform on Oct. 13th, as part of its “31 Nights of Halloween” programming.

“R.L. Stine’s ‘Goosebumps’ franchise is a pop culture phenomenon that holds a special place in the hearts of people of all ages,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “We are delighted to bring this spooky new series to audiences everywhere in a big way on Disney+ and Hulu, which we hope will not only captivate new audiences with its elevated thrills and chills, but also lifelong fans nostalgic for the stories that are a staple of their generation.”

Plunging viewers into a world of mystery and suspense, the new “Goosebumps” series follows a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle — while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past.

Published by Scholastic, “Goosebumps” is one of the bestselling book series of all time, with more than 400 million books in print in 32 languages. The new television series draws on elements from five of the most popular middle-grade books including “Say Cheese and Die!,” “The Haunted Mask,” “The Cuckoo Clock of Doom,” “Go Eat Worms!” and “Night of the Living Dummy.”

“Goosebumps” stars Justin Long (“Barbarian”) and Rachael Harris (“Lucifer”), alongside newcomers Zack Morris (“EastEnders”), Isa Briones (“Star Trek: Picard”), Miles McKenna (“Guilty Party”), Ana Yi Puig (“Gossip Girl”) and Will Price (“The Equalizer”).

Nicholas Stoller (“The Muppets”) and Rob Letterman (“Pokémon Detective Pikachu”) developed the series and serve as executive producers, alongside Hilary Winston (“Community”), Neal H. Moritz (“Fast & Furious” franchise”), Scholastic Entertainment’s Iole Lucchese (“Clifford the Big Red Dog”), Pavun Shetty (“The Boys”), Conor Welch (“Platonic”), Scholastic Entertainment’s Caitlin Friedman (“Stillwater”), Erin O’Malley (“New Girl”) and Kevin Murphy (“Desperate Housewives”).

Oogie Boogie Bash

Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween Party returns to Disney California Adventure Park. During select nights between September 5 to October 31, 2023, the sold-out event will transform the park into a trick-or-treat haven for candy collecting, encounters with Disney villains, a spooky show, engaging photo opportunities, delightful parade, and exclusive food and merchandise. Attendees are invited to dress in their best Halloween costumes. Just make sure to adhere to park safety guidelines and regulations.

New for the 2023 season are two new villains making their debut at Treat Trails. Judge Doom seeks to destroy Toontown near Soarin’ Around the World. Coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. Yokai ponders menacingly in the newly opened San Fransokyo Square. Both villain and reimagined land based on the Disney animated film “Big Hero Six”. Other characters greet their fans such as Lotso from “Toy Story 3” giving hugs in front of Toy Story Midway Mania and Bruno from “Encanto” hides out at Grizzly River Trail.

Returning Treat Trail Characters are welcomed back from previous years.

Ernesto de la Cruz from “Coco” serenades at Hyperion Theater courtyard. Agatha from “Wanda Vision” conjures in Avengers Campus. Cruella de Vil invites amateur models down the red carpet. And Madam Mim from “The Sword in the Stone” prepares for a wizard’s duel with any and all challengers.

Special lighting packages and projection effects based around prominent characters from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Alice in Wonderland”, “The Lion King”, “The Princess and the Frog”, and “Brave” brighten the pathways of the trail for a colorfully immersive stroll. Although no sugary candy to pass out here, attendees will find a different kind of treat that is just as sweet for the eyes and ears.

Hold your breath whilst digging through the graveyard full of foreboding tombstones, gargoyle statues, and dimly lit candles. Watch for the carriage guiding souls to the afterlife.

Step into the crypt for more engaging photo-ops with the inviting throne. Here lies one of many resting places for the commemorative 50th anniversary. Their next home could be yours.

Slide under the CarnEVIL Big Top for lighter flares of oddities and whimsy. Engage in fun popcorn, games, and flashing glassware.  Take a stroll through the alley for an alleyway down memory lane with past Scary Farm signages.

Ghost Town comes dead alive with tributes to celebrated iconic hosts from Seymour, The Master of the Macabre, to Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and Tales from the Cryptkeeper. Props and concept art pay homage to the best of past scares.  Take your time to roam and admire the hard work and dedication bestowed on the first Halloween haunt event in a theme park.

The next crossroads of Ghost Town leads to the saloon set for more photo-ops, decorations, backlit shirts, and other last-minute items for your shopping needs before reaching the sales counter.

Due note that the entrance into the 50th Anniversary Legacy Haunt Store and Museum is located on the corner of the building as the door from the main walkway is the exit only.  The spacious retail location is one of the best in recent memories for Knott’s Berry Farm. The moment guests step inside, you are immediately immersed and thrust into haunt mode. There’s so much to see and discover.

The set design, details, and lighting quality is just as good as patrons would find in the scare mazes inside the theme park. But the store gives you more time to wander in awe and take engaging photos. This is a perfect beginning to celebrating the 50th-anniversary milestone of Knott’s Scary Farm.

The stately grounds of the Haunted Mansion will expand with a spirited metamorphosis at Disneyland Resort next year. In 2024, the additions will build on the story and lore of the Haunted Mansion and include an expanded outdoor queue to immerse guests in enhanced theming, as well as a new retail shop adjacent to the attraction’s exit.

Local legend suggests the manor known today as the Haunted Mansion was first built by a prosperous sea captain. To this day, the mansion’s staff faithfully maintains the happy haunting grounds. The expanded queue will tie into these stories and more, including new gardens inspired by Master Gracey, Madame Leota, and the one-eyed cat.

Each of the gardens will feature unique elements ranging from a water fountain and gazebo to themed statuary and landscaping. In fact, guests will be able to see a new greenhouse where the groundskeepers for the Haunted Mansion grow their plants. The pet cemetery and horse-drawn funeral hearse will continue to reside on the attraction’s grounds.

Room 13 (Maze) – Violent murders at The Blind Tiger interrupt the Prohibition-era revelry on Memory Lane. A dangerously delicious new cocktail named The Devil’s Elixir seems to be at the root of the mayhem, but where did the mysterious green aperitif come from?

Origins: The Curse of Calico – Pierce the veil of time and discover the secret of the evil fog that hangs over Knott’s Scary Farm in Origins: The Curse of Calico.

All will be revealed as the Green Witch rises and curses those who have accused her.

The Depths – Follow in the steps of a doomed mining team as you plunge deeper and deeper into the catacombs beneath the sinister seaside town. All who have entered have never resurfaced.

But be warned, as this is your last chance to walk this treacherous path through a sunken ship and into the dark unknown that lies beyond.

Dark Entities – Teleport beyond Earth in a shattered space station, launching you through a zero-gravity descent into chaos. Strange forces have taken over, and the crew has been transformed into multi-dimensional mutants. Escape quickly, as the dark entities plan to eliminate all living forms aboard the station for good. There’s nowhere to escape as time is running out.

Returning Scare Zones

Knott’s Scary Farm is far more than a collection of haunted attractions. Every night monsters take over the streets and turn theme-park midways into murderous scare zones. From the world-famous Ghost Town Streets to the Boardwalk area filled with evil clowns, there’s nowhere to hide in Knott’s Scary Farm.

Ghost Town Streets is where Scary Farm all began! The dark streets of Calico are the original and largest, most fear-filled scare zone that started it all. Terror is around every corner as the fog-filled alleys hold monsters of every size. Good luck finding a safe passage through the cursed town.

Step back into the dark decadence of a bygone era as The Gore-ing 20’s scare zone terrorizes even the bravest and most brutal souls. The revelers at The Blind Tiger, the secret speakeasy on Memory Lane, danced their way into oblivion when their decadence brought upon them a deadly curse. Now, once a year, these wicked spirits of the past are allowed to haunt visitors with their deadly dance.

Step right up and come face to face with your worst nightmares on the Boardwalk. Deviant clowns and circus freaks are dying for your undying attention in the CARNEVIL scare zone. Smell the cotton candy as the maniacal midway monsters close in on you.

The Lake underneath Silver Bullet recedes to reveal the Forsaken Lake scare zone, where gothic creatures ravaged by the dark and murky waters wander from their crypts. Each night brings new terrors as a funeral procession makes its way to the spirit world. Don’t be fooled by their elegant dress; these creatures seek fresh blood to join them in their death march.
