At the climax of the first Goosebumps film, Hannah and Zach share a poignant farewell as Hannah, revealed to be a fictional character brought to life from R.L. Stine's books, accepts her fate and returns into the magical manuscript alongside the other monsters.
The Fate of Hannah and Zach
In the intense conclusion of the 2015 Goosebumps movie, the true nature of Hannah Fairchild is unveiled: she is a character created by R.L. Stine, just like the monsters that have escaped his manuscripts. Faced with the necessity of containing all the unleashed creatures, Hannah makes a selfless decision.
- Hannah's Revelation and Sacrifice: Hannah confesses that she had always known her existence was tied to the books. To save everyone and imprison the rampaging monsters, she bravely opens the special Goosebumps manuscript. As the book begins to suck all the monstrous creations back into its pages, Hannah, being one of Stine's literary creations, is also drawn towards it.
- Zach's Final Goodbye: As Hannah is pulled into the book, Zach desperately tries to hold onto her, attempting to prevent her departure. However, Hannah, having come to terms with her destiny, shares a final, emotional kiss with Zach before she is inevitably absorbed back into the book, imprisoned alongside the other creatures. This heartbreaking moment signifies her ultimate sacrifice for the safety of the world.
These significant events occurred at the culmination of the first Goosebumps movie (2015). Hannah and Zach are not central characters in Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018), where the story primarily follows new protagonists, Sonny, Sam, and Sarah.
