Goosebumps is the latest to add to your October watchlist, and comes courtesy of Disney Plus.

The new show is inspired by the best-selling book series by RL Stine and follows a group of five teenagers who embark on a "shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle", according to the synopsis.

Yet in the process, they also manage to uncover some dark secrets from their parents’ past – but what exactly will they find?

Of course, this isn't the first time that Stine's books have provided the material for some pop culture delights, with the book series being the basis of a video game run, comics and a set of feature films that starred Jack Black and Dylan Minnette.
