A new adaptation of RL Stine's Goosebumps series is releasing this Friday on Disney Plus, and RadioTimes.com has an exclusive preview of the spooky action fans can expect.

The new series will launch its first five episodes at once as part of Disney Plus’s Hallowstream celebrations, with subsequent episodes streaming weekly.

The series follows a group of five high schoolers as they embark on a journey to investigate the tragic passing of a teen three decades earlier, while they also unearth dark secrets from their own parents’ past.

In the exclusive clip, one of the kids, James, is seen having been somehow transported back in time to before a Halloween party he was at - and, as in one of Stine's books, it seems to have something to do with The Cuckoo Clock of Doom.
