I used to love Goosebumps as a kid. I watched it, commented it, and rated it 5 stars, Sean.

Good luck with it dude.

thanks, Gore!:D :D

Done and done. I LOVED reading those books when I was younger. And I still have some vivid memories of the parts that creeped me out. Unfortunately I was a little too old when the show came out (I think it's kinda cheesy), but done by the right people, a proper movie would be great. Love the iconic images in the montage, too.

I'm curious - Why Youtube? Is pitching through Youtube a new thing now? Is this the new medium to pitch movie ideas? That's really interesting.

Haha, a Krokus cover, wicked.

I pitched them in the office and played the vid on my computer in the meeting. Then I went home and emailed them a copy of the pitch and uploaded the vid on youtube so the producer could easily show it to the other producers involved (there are always other people involved)

I thought that a few good ratings and some positive comments might actaully sway a decisionmaker (moneyman) if he/she was on the fence. Couldn't hurt, right?

If it's a new process, it's because I made it a new process:D

I will certainly let you know if we get the job.

Good tactic. And good luck.

Do you know which book(s) you plan on adapting? Or is this just a general Goosebumps pitch?

How about a shout out for HDC after you get good and famous. Nothing big...maybe a little blurb in Fangoria or something.

we created a framework that could support any of the Goosebumps stories (can't go into any more detail than that)

I wouldn't tell you all of it, but we used several tales including my favorite, "Stay Out of the Basement" as prime examples of stories that work within our structure, but there are also allusions to "Night of the Living Dummy", "Monster Blood", "Welcome to the Dead House", "One Day at Hororland" and others to make a comprehensive Goosebumps world.

Cool vid, I'd love to see this get made. Good luck!
