Iconic children's and teen-horror author R.L. Stine has nothing but praise for Jack Black, who played him in the Goosebumps movies. In an exclusive chat with the publication, Stine revealed that Black "keeps in touch" and is "a great guy."

Stine, 81, shared that he and Black, 55, had a great time working together on the Goosebumps movies, which were released in 2015 and 2018. "We worked well together, and we just had a great time," Stine said.

The author also shared that Black recently sent him a note when Stine was giving a talk at a library in California. "He sent a note over, saying he wished he could be there, and he's just wonderful," Stine added.

Stine's 11-year-old grandson, Dylan, is also a huge fan of Black's. "I think some of his first words were, 'Jack Black, Jack Black,'" Stine shared, adding that his grandson has seen Black's new movie, A Minecraft Movie, "three times" already.

Fear Street: Prom Queen, the Latest Adaptation of Stine's Work, Hits Netflix

The latest film adaptation of Stine's work, Fear Street: Prom Queen, is set to hit Netflix on May 15. The movie stars India Fowler as Lori Granger, "a gutsy outsider" who "puts herself in the running" for her high school's prom queen amid some tense (and potentially deadly) competition.

Stine shared that unlike the movie, which "heightened the scares," he himself has "never done anything R-rated. Even my life isn't R-rated." He added that the movie is "a bloodbath" and "makes Stephen King's Carrie look like a Hallmark movie."
