"Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween," released in 2018, is a sequel to the 2015 "Goosebumps" film that brings Jeremy Ray Taylor and Madison Iseman back to the spotlight as Sonny Quinn and Sarah Quinn. The film follows the storyline where best friends Sonny and Sam's after-school junk business leads them to a locked book in the old Stine house, unleashing the eerie dummy Slappy and other supernatural entities. Upon its release, the movie received mixed reviews, with some critics appreciating its family-friendly thrills and nostalgic nods to R. L. Stine's popular book series, while others found it lacking in scares and originality compared to its predecessor. Over time, "Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween" has not quite achieved cult classic status, nor is it widely regarded as an underrated gem. Instead, it is often viewed as a dated relic of late-2010s children's horror cinema—pleasant and mildly entertaining but largely forgettable. That said, it still holds a certain charm for young audiences and fans of the Goosebumps franchise looking for lighthearted Halloween-themed fun.
