‘Goosebumps’ Author R.L. Stine: ‘The World Has Gotten Scarier’

As far as publishing goes, Stine has six books coming out including a comic book for adults, a picture book, a new addition to the Goosebumps series, and even a book of writing tips for adults. Zombie Town, a movie based on Stine's novel of the same name, started streaming on Hulu starring Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase. Then there's the Disney+ adaptation of Stine's iconic and beloved Goosebumps series which starts streaming on Oct. 13 starring Justin Long and Rachael Harris.

The man is a non-stop working machine, maintaining the same writing schedule he's kept up for decades of his life: Completing 2,000 words every single morning before 1:00 p.m. like clockwork. From new novels to big and small screen adaptations, the worlds of literature and Hollywood are keeping Stine busy, to say the least. He doesn't mind the work, though. Stine tells Rolling Stone, "I'm cut out for this."
