In the 1990s I walked into my English teacher’s class and saw a library section filled with almost every entry in the R.L. Stine Goosebumps series and I have been a fan ever since. The books captivated me quickly, and I have always wanted the series to grow up as time passed and the ’90s are now a great memory. This young adult horror series has some of the most iconic backlogs of characters and stories to draw from so any related game that is announced gets me excited.

Yet, as gaming has matured, Goosebumps entries have continued to disappoint. Cosmic Forces has released Goosebumps: Dead of Night with Jack Black reprising his role from recent movies. The horror game has a similar premise to some of the movies where R.L. Stines’s creations have come to life to terrorize you. Let’s take a look at how this game capitalizes on reimagining this great series.
