Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
The good news is that, despite his absence in the credits, Jack Black returns in the 'Goosebumps' sequel to play author R.L. Stine and provide the voice of "Slappy the Dummy". The bad news is that there's not nearly enough of him.
Indiewire
Madness unfolds across the course of one very scary Halloween evening, but anyone with even the most cursory of memories of the first film will feel as if they?re seeing the same film over again.
Entertainment Weekly
Midway through a screening of 'Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween', a young man sitting next to me turned and asked if I had seen the first movie. I whispered that I had. He replied at full volume: ?I like this one, but I liked that one more.? Nino, age 7, had it dead right.
Variety
I almost wrote "fun", but that would be pushing it. To achieve that F-word, the film would have to ground its amusing effects in a story that was less skittery yet leaden.
