Best-selling children’s author R.L. Stine shares all the devious dirt on his over 30 years of writing Goosebumps, plus hauntingly hilarious stories from his inadvertent rise to becoming the king of middle grade horror. Chatting with the Chicago Tribune’s Chris Borrelli at the historic Music Box Theatre, Stine reminisces on his Ohio childhood and favorite comedians of the ‘50s, then looks ahead by dropping the scary scoop on the many forthcoming film and TV adaptations of his books.
