For pop culture fans, R.L. Stine's Goosebumps TV series was a favorite '90s TV show. It was clever, funny, scary, and covered all kinds of horror topics, from spirits to creepy basements to an amusement park called HorrorLand. In October 2021, the TV series Just Beyond started streaming on Disney+. Adapted from graphic novels by Stine, the show has eight episodes and takes a scary look at teen topics: a teenage girl who doesn't seem «cool,» a town bully, a girl moving to a new town, and how to stand out at a school when everyone is supposed to fit in.
