Relive your childhood nightmares on VR with ‘Goosebumps’ app

If you were a ‘90s kid or have a child who lived in the ‘90s, it’s most certain they carried around at least one of R.L. Stine’s popular Goosebumps books. The nostalgia got relived a bit recently when the series became a movie starring Jack Black. If you want to make that experience a bit more immersive and most likely surprising, try out the new Goosebumps VR app available for both Android and iOS.

The app has you joining Black a.k.a. R.L. Stine in the film as you try to escape a giant praying mantis. Yes, it might not be too scary for you now but if you’re a kid, this might be the thing to scare them out of their wits. It’ll work with compatible smartphones and virtual reality viewing devices like Google Cardboard and Merge VR Goggles. If you don’t have a VR headset on you, you can also use the “360-degree video mode,” which lets you experience the chase from your phone only.
