And the plot theGoosebumpsbooks come to life!
is so similar to the first film that I wouldnt be surprised to learnHaunted Halloweenwas a rejected early draft.
The real magic of the movie comes in its echoes of the first namely, Blacks performance as theGoosebumpsmastermind.
(The real Stine also appears in a small cameo at the end.)
Hes in his best Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards host form: charming, meta, full of energy.
Wendi McLendon-Covey and Chris Parnell also nail the tone, taking the movie seriously without ever being self-serious.
At the end of the movie, Nino, age 7, asked me if I was scared.
He said he wasnt scared either, but he still seemed more than satisfied.
I wonder what theyll do for the third one!
