Center
Primary
The film's fantastical premise, centered on a children's horror author whose monsters come to life, and its focus on universal themes like adventure, friendship, and the power of imagination, prevent it from aligning with any specific political ideology.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, including Asian and South Asian characters, without explicitly recasting traditionally white main roles. Its narrative is a straightforward adventure story that does not critique traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film 'Goosebumps' does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.
The film features Hannah Stine, a prominent female character involved in the action. However, she does not engage in or win any close-quarters physical combat against male opponents or monsters using skill, strength, or martial arts. Her contributions are primarily strategic or involve evasion.
The 2015 film introduces new characters while portraying established characters from the R.L. Stine book series, such as R.L. Stine himself and various monsters like Slappy the Dummy, with their original genders intact. No canonical gender changes are present.
The main human characters (Zach, Hannah, Champ, Lorraine) are original to the film and do not have established racial identities in the Goosebumps book series. R.L. Stine is portrayed by a white actor, consistent with the real author. No established character undergoes a race swap.
