"He's not a sinister dude at all," Black says of Stine, in an interview with NPR's Michel Martin. Stine - or, at least, a version of Stine. Until now: Goosebumps has been adapted into a feature film, starring dozens of monsters and Jack Black as the man himself, R.L. Still, in the more than two decades since Goosebumps got its start, there's at least one thing the series hasn't done: made the leap from the page to the big screen. Over 400 million copies of Stine's books are in print. The series has sported iconic neon cover art and memorable titles - like The Beast from the East and The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena. The prolific author has written hundreds of horror stories for kids, none more popular than his long-running series of frightfests, Goosebumps. If you are - or have ever had or been - a kid, if you like to read and you like to creep yourself out, then you probably know the name R.L.
