Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

I know it's riding the success of that Goosebumps movie but this tries to be more of a horror movie than the spooky adventure so I feel it finds a niche.

Still more of an adventure movie than a horror movie but it works. A mysterious and dark exploration of an unknown force in which I was never certain about the safety of any character except the protagonist. Kind of goofy in parts but since I never gave this movie much credit in the first place, it never really jarred.

With many vivid sequences, this packs a lot of nostalgia and thankfully they keep the designs from the original illustrations.

They actually have a pretty neat plot dreamed up and it's nice to see they were conscientious about depicting police realistically.

Ending scenes kind of annoyed me though. He was so close...

Dodge the draft!
