Trivia

When R.L. Stine (Jack Black) arrives in town to save Halloween, he sees a floating red balloon near a storm drain and says, "I KNEW I had that idea first!" This is an iconic symbol for the Stephen King movie "IT" (2017). Jeremy Ray Taylor, who plays Sonny in this Goosebumps movie, also stars as Ben Hanscom in "IT".

User Reviews

You actually did it..

Two young friends find a magic book that brings a ventriloquist's dummy to life. Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween was so much better than critics said and even much better than i expected it to be in general. This movie once again blends perfectly horror elements and family humor for kids and their parents but also the new kids were much better that i thought they would be especially Madison Iseman and Jaremy Ray Taylor were great and that little cameo during the climax oh boy it was really good. Just an all around impressive sequel to the first one.
