The two boys find themselves wandering into Stine’s long-abandoned home on Halloween only to uncover a mysterious manuscript that unlocks another chapter of horror and nostalgia-filled comedy onto their small Delaware town, which of course is all led by the evil Slappy! Jack Black will be once again providing his voice to Slappy.

“Did you miss me?”  Slappy says in the trailer.

The film, which is being directed by The Duff’s Ari Sandel,  will also star Maison Iseman (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Chris Parnell (Archer), and Ken Jeong (Community).

2015’s Goosebumps actually did fairly well, grossing over $80 million in the US and over $150 million worldwide and currently has a 76% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was praised for being spooky yet kid-friendly, fun and full of good humor and it looks like the new trailer is aiming to do the same!
