Jack Black's upcoming Goosebumps movie may seem like a childish flick on the surface, but the 46-year-old actor is giving us a different perspective about how the film helped him, as an adult, overcome some of his own demons.

Opening up in an interview with Parade magazine, he says, "Goosebumps was a great adventure and a really fun role. It's about forgiveness and not letting your rage and thirst for revenge control you, but it's also about how some of those darker emotions can be used to create great masterworks. I play a guy with a dark past and a brilliant mind, wrestling with his own demons, literally."

Black feels like he can relate, recalling his own struggle with drugs in his teenage years after his parents got a divorce.
