Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween 2018

I could’ve invested a little more attention, but it was hard to stay interested. It isn’t horrible. I’d just say it’s more for the kids and less for parents/adults watching with them.

5/10

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (2018)

It’s shaping to be a good Halloween for kids. First, The House with a Clock in its Walls delivered some good, chilling fun and just 2 weeks later, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween comes out! The film is (once again) too spooky for kids under 7 but those who enjoyed the first picture will be amused by this sequel.

While rummaging through an old house, Sonny (Jeremy Ray Taylor) and Sam (Caleel Harris) discover an unpublished manuscript by legendary horror writer R.L. Stine (Jack Black). Out of it emerges the Dummy Slappy (this time voiced by Mick Wingert instead of Black), who seeks to create a family for himself by bringing Halloween to life. As decorations comes to life and run amock, the two best friends and Sonny’s sister, Sarah (Madison Iseman) are their small town’s only hope.

Haunted Halloween captures the spirit of the books and the television series. It contains mild scares as series favourite Slappy cackles maniacally while candy bags and jack-o’-lanterns attack the kids who aren’t being chased by skeletons, witches and mummies. It’s nothing that’ll frighten adults but those who are nostalgic for the books will enjoy looking among the crowds to pick out the Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, Werewolf of Fever Swamp, and a few others. For the most part, however, it doesn’t feature that many cameos. That’s ok, we saw that in 2015 and the book the creatures are coming from predates the Goosebumps series. I’m still puzzled by the absence of Monster Blood, however.

This is an elongated episode of the show that contains the false scares who will make you chuckle as well as a number of family-friendly jokes, courtesy of Slappy. The film is like the series both for better, and for worse. The bullies who confront Sonny and Sam, for example, are generic and more plot devices than characters. Similarly, there are a couple of spots where the film could’ve been written smarter and I lament The Invisible Boy, who made an “appearance” at the tail end of the first film not returning. Twist endings that aren’t followed-up on in the sequels is kind of a trademark of the series but it’s a missed opportunity.

While Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween isn’t extraordinary in terms of writing or filmmaking and isn’t as good as the first, I can foresee it becoming a staple. It’d be the kind of thing you’d watch with the kids every other year while decorations are put up and costumes are being stitched together. It isn’t as good as the first but I’m sure children will have a good time with it. If you do see it, there’s a bit of an extra something at the end of the credits, so keep an ear out. (Theatrical version on the big screen, October 13, 2018)

Goosebumps 2 Review

I liked the new Goosebumps film a lot, but I did feel like it fell a little short of the first film. I think it’s that a few characters could’ve been more fully utilized and the frights could’ve been scarier, but it wasn’t enough to hamper the fun I had watching it. 

Full Spoilers…

I liked the new cast! Madison Iseman (Sarah) was great and very likable as a very different type of teenager than she played in Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle, which was a nice surprise. I definitely expected her brother Sonny (Jeremy Ray Taylor) and his best friend Sam (Caleel Harris) to drive the movie with her being dragged along as an annoying older sister, but that wasn't the case at all. She has agency, we know what she wants out of life, and her arc is all about achieving those goals. It’s true that her quest to find something to write about for her college essay was a little cliché, but I liked that the adventure the film takes her on gives her more than an essay: it gives her a career. She also gets to be an active player in the climax, which was great. One of my few notes about the first movie was that while Stine's (Jack Black) daughter wasn't passive or a damsel exactly, she also didn't offer many ideas when she easily could've instead of the guys. Goosebumps has never been afraid to feature kids regardless of their gender or race, so it was awesome to see that continue with Sarah being so active here.

Sonny & Sam felt like true Goosebumps protagonists and I liked how Sonny’s science experiments and knowledge played into Slappy’s plot (making Slappy something of a twist on Sonny’s personality too, just like he’s Stine’s dark side). Sonny, Sam, and Sarah's problems being solved (initially) by Slappy felt like the first act of a classic Goosebumps novel (and the bully they boys were dealing with (Peyton Wich) felt like he was pulled right from those books), while all three kids readily accepting that Slappy was in fact a living dummy was a nice and realistic beat given what they’d seen. I liked both Sam and Sonny, but it would’ve been nice if Sam had more to do: after his moving/cleaning business gets them to Slappy and Sarah’s brought into the loop, it felt like he faded into the background somewhat. Maybe this is just because Sonny’s technological skills and Sarah’s growing writer identity were more integral to the ongoing plot, but I wish Sam had a role to play in the climax that was specific to him as well. Of the characters that weren’t used to their full potential, his felt like the biggest loss.

Wendi Mclendon-Covey was great as Sarah & Sonny's mother Kathy and I thought she brought a perfect awkward/embarrassing yet caring "mom" vibe to the role. Chris Parnell’s Walter, possessed by the iconic Haunted Mask, was unfortunately underwhelming. He got a few funny lines and I liked his awkward chemistry with Kathy, but didn't the mask in the book make the wearer meaner, not sillier? Mr. Chu (Ken Jeong) was a fun character, but I feel like they could've done more with him, particularly his excitement to be living a Goosebumps story. Send him out into the chaos to casually soak it in while everyone else is running and screaming in terror or something! I thought it was a little odd he had so much time to make the kids costumes in the middle of the crisis, but I guess the existing costumes might've been brought to life, so maybe there's internal logic to them not just using pre-made disguises (ultimately it doesn’t bother me either way, though). 

I liked Jack Black's return as RL Stine here (though I wish he also voiced Slappy again, even if Mick Wingert sounds enough like Black’s Slappy for it to not be jarring at all). Stine worked really well as a mentor/inspiration to Sarah, even though he didn’t have a lot of screentime (they definitely made the most of his time here). His return to his hometown—forcing him to face his monsters in the place that created so many of them for him—was well done (if not elaborated on). More of that definitely would’ve been appreciated, but I’m content with what they did give us. I'm also definitely down to follow the story where Slappy leaves it, with Stine locked in Slappy’s book (also making the dummy a dark mirror for Sarah, if they want). Maybe Stine's been put into Horrorland? If they're about to take us into the world of Goosebumps after letting it invade the real world twice now, I'm all for that! It would be awesome if the younger casts of both movies teamed up to save RL Stine and wrap up this trilogy! He does have a daughter who used to be a character in one of his books; combine that unique experience with Sarah taking up the writer torch and I think we’ve got a rescue party forming.

I liked that this felt like a lost Goosebumps story (whereas the first movie was more of a meta-celebration of the franchise) and Slappy’s twisted desire for a family worked really well for me. He’s a great villain and forcing people to be his family was a nice, understated tie back to his implied status as Stine's evil alter ego (Stine himself having been a lonely kid according to the first movie). I wish they’d played that up more, though. Using Slappy's incantation to bring all the Goosebumps monsters to life was a fun twist on the lore and made it feel like a sequel to “Night of the Living Dummy.” Slappy using Nikola Tesla's technology to achieve his goals was a nice touch too…and a possible reflection of Stine and his status as an ignored genius in comparison to his rival Stephen King (this features a great IT joke, btw!)? As for the rest of the Goosebumps monsters, it’s always nice to see them, but aside from being recognizable as the franchise’s villains, these monsters could’ve been any thugs. If they’re going to keep bringing every monster in, I’d like to see more Goosebumps-y twists on the classics with defined abilities and unique scares instead of mobs of essentially interchangeable creatures. The ravenous gummy bears were a real threat, but also a lot of fun (and cute!); they’re a good example of an original Goosebumps twist on monsters. I did like that these monsters seemed to be mostly practical costumes/makeup rather than CGI creations this time out.

I think the biggest drawback was the same as in the first movie: I wish these films were more concerned with putting more actual scares on the screen. Slappy does get a bunch of creepy moments, though, and Kathy has an extremely unsettling moment as a human ventriloquist dummy, but I wish it had gone on longer and/or amounted to more. The Goosebumps books and TV episodes had actual thrills and scares alongside Stine’s humor, so I wish the movies would dip their toes in frights just as much as they exist in the “horror adventure” space. Despite me wanting more scares, however, the comedy here landed more often than not and there's no denying that it's a great time at the movies.

I love Danny Elfman's theme and score, but I do wish they'd include the TV show's theme song at some point in this franchise too. The CGI was really good: there was only one shot that looked a little dodgy (when the pumpkins took flight), but otherwise I thought it was convincing. While not explicitly scary, there is a fun spooky vibe here that makes for an enjoyable watch. The pacing’s also on point and moves the story along at a brisk pace.

Goosebumps 2 is out in Blu-ray this week and I'll definitely be picking it up! I'm excited to see it again and it's definitely worth a watch if you're looking for a fun Halloween adventure. Whatever they do for the next movie, I love this series and hope it continues!

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is heading our way this October and the first trailer has been released. A sequel to the hit film from 2015, Halloween comes to life in a brand-new comedy adventure based on R.L. Stine’s 400-million-selling series of books.

The Title of the Upcoming GOOSEBUMPS Sequel Revealed as GOOSEBUMPS: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN

During a panel at Cinemacon, Sony Pictures revealed the official title of the upcoming Goosebumps sequel as Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween. This was incredibly unexpected for fans, as R.L. Stine leaked the working title as Slappy Halloween, a title that referenced the series’ iconic evil dummy.

Sony also revealed an official release date of October 12, 2018 in a new teaser video featuring Slappy the dummy (below). In the video, Slappy is voiced by Jack Black, but there is no word as to whether or not he will be reprising his role as R.L. Stine. Additional cast members were announced and include: Wendy McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs, Bridesmaids), Ken Jeong (The Hangover, Dr. Ken), Saturday Night Live alumnus, Chris Parnell with Odeya Rush returning as Hannah.

  Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween – What We Know

  The film is being directed by Ari Sandel (The Duff) and was written by Rob LIeber (Peter Rabbit). The first Goosebumps was directed by Rob Letterman (Monsters vs. Aliens) with no official word as to why he is not involved in part two.

No details about the film’s storyline have been revealed, but it seems as if many elements from various books will be used to craft a fun, family-friendly sequel, just like in the original. There were rumors about Slappy causing a Halloween apocalypse, but that has not been confirmed. 

The first installment earned $80 million, domestically, and about $150 million, worldwide. The allure of this film is one of nostalgia where many millenials are drawn to the film popularized by the beloved book series of their childhood and now have an opportunity to introduce the series to their children with an updated, fresh story, and at Halloween time, to boot!

Are you excited for this sequel? What do you think of the trailer? Does Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween have potential to slay at the box office, this Halloween? Keep the conversation going on the Nightmare on Film Street Facebook page!

  Slappy returns to a theater near you this October. But first, a special announcement. #GoosebumpsMovie #HauntedHalloween

Goosebumps 2 Available to Own and Rent

I loved the original Goosebumps and so I was excited when the opportunity to review Goosebumps 2 came about as a featured influencer with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. This movie is also based off of the book series by R.L. Stine. When this film started developing the plot, I was a little concerned by seeing almost a totally new batch of characters, but the story holds up well. In this film, two teens, Sonny and his friend, Sam, start a garbage cleanup business in an attempt find treasure in their hometown of Wardencliffe, NY. They get their first job to clean out an abandoned house with the camera panning to the word "Stine" by the door. The boys find a secret room with a chest which happens to contain a locked manuscript. The boys unlock the manuscript and discover a ventriloquist dummy has appeared in the room with them. If you saw the original film, I think you know who this character is... Sonny and Sam then find a small piece of paper in the dummy's jacket pocket and recite the incantation. Well friends, Slappy is back! Slappy wants to be part of Sonny's family and will stop at nothing to get his way. Trying to stand in Slappy’s way is a terrifyingly talented cast including Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs), Madison Iseman (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Jeremy Ray Taylor (It), Caleel Harris (Castle Rock), and Chris Parnell (Rick and Morty), with Ken Jeong (Crazy Rich Asians). Goosebumps 2 is great for the entire family. It has a run time of approximately 120 minutes and is rated PG for scary creature action and images, some thematic elements, rude humor and language. The only thing I was still missing at the end of the film was Invisible Boy. With how the first film ended, I thought for sure he would make at least an appearance in Goosebumps 2. The GOOSEBUMPS 2 Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital bonus features include a gag reel full of hilarious hijinks, three all-new deleted scenes and five featurettes. Between the chills, thrills and goosebumps, watch the cast get a case of the giggles in the “Gag Reel.” Dive deep in “Thrills & Chills- The Making of Goosebumps 2” with Madison Iseman, along with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew. “Meet the Monsters” gives fans a sneak peek of how the scary creatures were brought to life. In “Slappy’s Audition,” watch what happens when Slappy auditions for the role he was born to play. In “Science with Slappy,” enter the Slapatory where Madison, Jeremy and Caleel join Slappy for some electrifying experiments! And get ready to sing along with three hilarious “Slappy-oke” songs.  Who knew dummies could sing? https://youtu.be/nQeOzfm-lps Synopsis: Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Bonus Materials Include: §  Gag Reel §  Three Deleted Scenes: §  Five Featurettes “Thrills & Chills – The Making of Goosebumps 2”“Meet The Monsters”“Science With Slappy”“Junk Brothers – Call Now”“Slappy's Audition” §  Three Slappy-Oke Sing Alongs Read the full article
