The firstGoosebumpstook a family-friendly spin on the series of children’s horror novels that traumatized a whole generation of kids. The 2015 horror-comedy film introduced a group of kids who accidentally stumble upon R.L. Stine’s enchanted manuscripts — unleashing all manner of horrible monsters onto the world. The sequel takes a similar spin, but seems to remove Black’s R.L. Stine from the equation.
A new trio of kids (played by Madison Iseman, Caleel Harris, and Jeremy Ray Taylor) discover an abandoned house where one of R.L. Stine’s books sits gathering dust in a mysterious chest. Unlocking the book titledHaunted Halloween, they accidentally bring to life the infamous possessed ventriloquist doll Slappy, who has been teased as theprimary Big Bad in this filmfor a few months now. Of course, there are plenty of other ghouls and monsters that get unleashed too, including a CGI gorilla that looks like it stepped right out ofRampage.
