Review of Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018) by Nicholas J — 11 Oct 2018
While it is a near beat for beat repeat of the first movie, it still has that same campy vibe from the original that made it a good attempt at capturing the show. This sequel does feel rushed at times and the plot makes the story go fast at a certain point, but how it begins is much like the beginnings of a Goosebumps TV episode.
It could have been thought out more and the visual effects look a tad bit better than the original. I wish it had more Jack Black, but I am fine with what they did. The ending, while a bit climatic, I would love to see where the franchise goes, will we be getting a movie entirely in the literary works of R.
L. Stine? It could make for a fun concept. I found myself just going for a ride in this one with some pretty funny moments that made me laugh (just watch for the pumpkins). It is a decent family film that is safe.
Not the most compelling piece of media, but as a follow up to the original, I think it is okay.
