The New Goosebumps is an American anthology comedy-horror live-action TV series that's a reboot of the original 1995 Goosebumps TV series, which in itself was based on the book series Goosebumps by Robert Lawrence "R.L." Stine. The reboot is created by the original book writer and TV show creator himself R.L. Stine, along with his wife Jane Stine. The show is the first "television event" for The CC (Cartoon Comedy), due to its ensemble cast and expensive budget.
