What to Know

Critics Consensus

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween offers a handful of treats for very young viewers, but compared to the entertaining original, this sequel is a ding dong to ditch.

Roxana Hadadi Chesapeake Family Magazine Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween will amuse young kids, but overall it isn't as lively or exciting as its predecessor, and less screentime for Jack Black is a bummer. Rated: 3/5 Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) This lacklustre sequel to the 2015 hit Goosebumps hardly has enough jokes to qualify as a comedy, which leaves it stranded in the netherworld of near-horror, aimed at children supposedly not yet ready for the real thing. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review It lacks the genuinely creepy edge of the original. Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review Goosebumps 2 certainly has its heart in the right place, but that doesn't keep it from feeling like stale, year-old candy. Jul 1, 2020 Full Review John Squires Bloody Disgusting The second film in a franchise with so much existing material to pull from should simply never be this dull. Rated: 2/5 Mar 9, 2020 Full Review Emily Breen HeyUGuys Subversive, yet always fun for all Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is spooky with added "Ooo!" and is destined to become a family Halloween classic. Rated: 5/5 Jun 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
