Countless R.L. Stine stories and series have been adapted for the screen over the years, but despite primarily generating kid-friendly horror material, Stine’s stories have actually never been adapted in the arena of animation. That changes with R.L. Stine’s “Stinetinglers,” with Deadline reporting that the Stine property is getting an animated series adaptation.
Limestone Animation is behind this first ever animated adaptation of R.L. Stine terror tales.
The series, based on Stine’s books under the “Stinetinglers” umbrella, is set in the seemingly idyllic town of Blooming Hills, where unknown forces unleash chilling terrors on local teens.
“Animation is the perfect medium to tell the twisted tales of Stinetinglers,” said R.L. Stine. “These spooky stories will be brought to life in a way unlike any of my work before. But more than that, I was blown away by the unique spin the team at Limestone Animation proposed and I immediately knew they were the right partners to bring to screen my newest stories.”
Limestone said in a statement, “We’re honored that R.L. Stine has trusted us with his latest book series. Stinetinglers is the perfect project to launch our studio with because it represents everything we want Limestone Animation to be; the home of creative storytelling that is bold, imaginative, and designed to bring audiences of all ages together.”
But first up, R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead premieres on Tubi on October 17. The feature film is an adaptation of an episode from the television series “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour.”
