Goosebumps
Evil ventriloquist dummy Slappy is back in theGoosebumps 2 : Haunted Halloweentrailer and poster , but his human opposite number ( Jack Black as author R.L. Stine ) is nowhere to be found . TheGoosebumpsmovie sequel further sport a brand - Modern human cast that includes Madison Iseman ( who , as it hap , played Black ’s real domain counterpart Beth inJumanji : Welcome to the Jungle ) , as well asIT ’s Jeremy Ray Taylor and Ken Jeong ofThe Hangovertrilogy andCommunityfame .
Like its precursor , Haunted Halloweencombines chemical element from the actual Stine’sGoosebumpsnovels with an all - new patch , this metre written by Rob Lieber ( Peter Rabbit ) . The subsequence pluck up in the small town of Wardenclyffe , where Slappy is resurrected and sets out to unleash the apocalypse on ( when else ? ) Halloween night . It thus falls to Sarah Quinn ( Iseman ) , her brother Sonny ( Taylor ) , and Sonny ’s BFF Sam ( Caleel Harris ) to cease Slappy and relieve the solar day , all while battle the various supernatural monsters teased in theHaunted Halloweentrailer .

Sony has now free theHaunted Halloweentrailer online , ahead of its entry in theaters with Sony Animation’sHotel Transylvania 3 : Summer Vacationthis weekend . The studio had a surprisingly unmanageable time getting its subsequence off the solid ground , even though the firstGoosebumpsalmost tripled its $ 58 million budget at the worldwide box office and earned perfectly respectable review . Along the way of life , the subsequence went through multiple subtitle ( Horrorland , Slappy Halloween ) and lost original director Rob Letterman , who has since been replaced with Ari Sandel ( The DUFF ) .
Despite the change in creatives and yield delays , Sony has kept a tight grip on its October 2018 release date for theGoosebumpssequel over the preceding year . The fear is that the studio is rushingHaunted Halloweendown the word of mouth in an try to strike while the atomic number 26 ’s still hot ( or , at least , lukewarm ) , even if that means the sequel winds up looking and feeling cheaply made compared to the first film . Letterman’sGoosebumpswas more successful than not in capturing the kooky charm of Stine ’s source material , butHaunted Halloweenmight come up short , if the lagger is any indicator .
Fortunately , Goosebumpsfans only have to wait a few more month forGoosebumps 2 : frequent Halloweento arrive , before they can judge the subsequence for themselves . Here ’s to hopingGoosebumps 3has an easier sentence come together , shouldHaunted Halloweenturn out better than anticipate and become a hit in the process .
