Disney is starting 2025 with a dose of horror. In January, the service will debut the second season of Goosebumps – a series based on the famous children’s books by R. L. Stine. The novels created by the American writer tell stories about kids and teenagers getting involved in all sorts of paranormal adventures, using their wit and courage to deal with them.
