Commenting on the announcement, Elias Plishner, executive vice president, Digital Marketing for Sony Pictures said, "Goosebumps is a fun, immersive movie, and this promotional experience is going to put moviegoers inside the film itself. We're always looking for ways to create engagement, and it was great to see Rob and Jack take the existing scene and re-shoot it for virtual reality. They were completely game."

Jake Zim, senior vice president, Digital Marketing, added, "The world of Goosebumps lends itself perfectly to VR, and merging the D-BOX motion chair with virtual reality takes this experience to the next level. You're going to feel immersed in the movie - it's a virtual reality adventure ride right there in the theater lobby."

We're always looking for ways to expand the moviegoing experience, which is why we jumped at the chance to team up with the studio for this unique event. We truly feel that the Goosebumps Virtual Reality Adventure elevates the viewer's movie experience by combining VR with credible physical reality only available through the D-BOX chair. With the immersive motion of that chair specifically programmed and synced to the VR images playing in the goggles, you're going to feel like you're right there in the car with Jack Black, trying to escape the Praying Mantis."

About "Goosebumps"
Scholastic has over 400 million Goosebumps books worldwide in 32 languages in print since the series introduction in 1992, earning critical acclaim and dominating global best seller lists. R.L. Stine has been recognized as one of the bestselling children's authors in history. Now, the literary phenomenon is coming to the big screen. In Goosebumps, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette), upset about moving from a big city to a small town, finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door, and makes a quick friend in Champ (Ryan Lee). But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach's comes when he learns that Hannah's mysterious dad is in fact R.L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. As Zach starts learning about the strange family next door, he soon discovers that Stine holds a dangerous secret: the creatures that his stories made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Stine's creations are unintentionally released from their manuscripts, Zach's life takes a turn for the weird. In a crazy night of adventure, it's up to Zach, Hannah, Champ, and Stine to team up and get all of these figments of Stine's imagination - including Slappy the Dummy, the girl with the haunted mask, the gnomes and many more - back in the books where they belong to save the town. Directed by Rob Letterman, the screenplay is by Darren Lemke with a story by Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski, based on the Goosebumps book series published by Scholastic and written by R.L. Stine. The film is produced by Deborah Forte and Neal H. Moritz.
