Reviewer notes

Not recommendedTrusted family reviewers
Not the same actors. The actors that are in it aren't good actors. At least the scary monsters were good. If it weren't for Jack Black saving the movie. I would have given this a 1 rating.

The original Jack Black _Goosebumps_ movie did not really impress me, and _Haunted Halloween_ is actually fractionally worse. But I still stand by the idea of taking your kids to see monster movies. _Final rating:★★ - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal._
