'Goosebumps: The Vanishing' Gets The Trailering At New York Comic-Con
Stay out of the basement, there be monsters in the blood
Congoer beware, your wallet may be bare. New York Comic-Con’s final livestreamed panel for the entire weekend happened Sunday afternoon and it was “Goosebumps: New Mysteries, New Cast, Same Thrills" from 2:30-3:30 PM on the main stage, all about Disney+ and Hulu’s second season of their Goosebumps series, Goosebumps: The Vanishing. Its touted sneak peek was in fact its official trailer, released just 12 days after the teaser.
Cece (Jayden Bartels) and Devin (Sam McCarthy) Brewer arrive at their father Anthony (David Schwimmer)’s Brooklyn home, and dad quickly lays down the off-limits basement rule. The friends they make, Alex (Francesca Noel), CJ (Elijah M. Cooper) and Frankie (Galilea La Salvia), know the story of the four teenagers who mysteriously vanished in 1994, and one of them is their uncle, which shook their father to this day. Dad’s request has finally been processed, detective Jen (Ana Ortiz) reveals. Character descriptions seem to imply she’s one of the survivors or witnesses of whatever happened. Something plantlike cuffs Anthony and there are tendrils in his arms. He sees movement in his microscope while elsewhere something dusty gets the kids. Anthony grows increasingly unwell physically and maybe mentally, even according to him. Monster blood emerged from a sink. One is taken by some unknown force in the basement and it becomes noticeable. Whatever Anthony has is contagious too.
Goosebumps: The Vanishing will premiere on Disney+ and Hulu like season 1, doing so on January 10, 2025. Unlike that first season, which dropped half of its season on premiere day before going weekly for the back 5. Season 2 only gets eight episodes, and they will all drop together on the same day. In addition to the Stay Out of the Basement and Monster Blood inspiration it wears on its sleeve, the season also adapts The Haunted Car, The Girl Who Cried Monster, The Ghost Next Door and Welcome to Camp Nightmare. Unfortunately I missed whatever tidbits were revealed at the panel and it seems The series was developed by Nicholas Stoller and Rob Letterman, and Hilary Winston is showrunner. Together, they serve as executive producers with Neal H. Moritz, Scholastic Entertainment’s Iole Lucchese and Caitlin Friedman, Pavun Shetty, Conor Welch, Erin O’Malley, Karl Frankenfield and James Eagan.
