ComingSoon Senior Editor Spencer Legacy spoke with Goosebumps executive producers Pavun Shetty and Conor Welch about the Hulu horror series.
“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,” reads
Justin Long is so great at both comedy and horror with things like Barbarian last year. How did he get involved with the project, and what was it like to have him in it?He was actually one of the first actors that we cast and for exactly that reason. He plays so well in both the horror and the comedy genre. He had just come off of Barbarian when we put him in this show. It was important to us that everyone that we cast — Rachael Harris and Rob Huebel being examples — knew how to land a joke.
Similarly, a lot of these stories were written in the ’90s and have some very ’90s stuff in them. How difficult was it to modernize the general stories for this new take?We found, actually, that a lot of the issues that we faced in high school in the ’90s, meaning Pavun and I and the other creators, are actually quite similar to the issues that that kids are still facing these days in terms of unrequited first love and ideas of identity and popularity and how to fit in.
