Review.

Viewer Beware your in for a scare.

When I was like in fifth grade Cartoon Network put out the 90's kids show Goosebumps and I was watching an episode I think it was every night at seven. One's that usually come to mind where the first episode of goosebumps I ever watched which was The Haunted Mask, horrorland,monster blood, say cheese and die, and of course I have a thing for maniacal toy's like Chucky, so naturally I love Slappy and his Night of The Living Dummy Trilogy.

The film starts off with this teenager named Zach who moves into the town of Madison Square Gardens with his mom and the two of them now live close to his aunt. He befriends his neighbors daughter Hannah, he hears her screaming one night and decides to check it out. Her father is not much of a people person. and cut off the world and was always alone. Zach goes to the house and releases one of the many goosebumps monsters which knocks down all of the other books and when another book falls it unlocks and unleashes R.L Stines most devious creation who is a lot like him, Slappy. When R.L Stine and the kids come home after putting The Abominable Snow Man of Pasadena back in the book, Slappy is who they encounter and he takes all the books and unleashes every monster to get his revenge on R.L Stine and destroy the town. Now R.L Stine and the kids have to get him to the school to get his special typewriter and write a story with every monster he's ever created to suck them back into the book.

You know in an interview with the Slappy Dummy at the premier he said their was a love story in their and I was actually not looking forward to that part especially since it wasn't in any of the trailers and I was afraid on how they would handle it. But they actually did a very good job with it, if i'm not mistake it's like the movie ghost but I wouldn't know because I haven't seen Ghost. The Kids do have chemistry they play well off each other.

I was in the theater watching this with kids to my left and they were engaged and having throughout the movie. At times they were even frightened as well because of the clown that was unleashed. I put out a discussion on this movie saying that it had the potential to be one of the best horror films ever because one site does have listed int he horror genre so it technically is a horror film, its one for kids and adults with almost every type of monster which is why I believe it is one of the best and I think it's one of the best horror films ever.

Goosebumps, has enough frightful fun energy with almost every type of monster you could think of and really does have a heart behind it within it's romantic chemistry between the leads and a heart goes out to the fans of the books or show. I'm giving Goosebumps a five out of five, it really is my favorite horror film and i'm sorry if you disagree.
