Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween | October 12 2018 | Sony | Jack Black may not return

[Eric Prime]

"Slappy Halloween" sounds like a porn parody of a horror movie.

[MovieMan89]

Leave it to Sony to mess this up. The first ended up being a legitimate WOM hit after it seemed like something no one would care about and set up some actual potential for a franchise. But now they ditch the whole cast of the first - right when Black is on a new high after Jumanji - ditch the very promising horrorland concept, and now it's called "Slappy Halloween?" What the actual fuck? Oh Sony, even on their comeback streak they still insist on Sony-isms. 

[ddddeeee]

A bad Goosebumps movie should have been a hit. Somehow, Sony made a good Goosebumps movie that only did ok. Instead of capitalising on that they played with their thumbs for two years and then rushed a movie into production with none of the cast of the original (Black is only voicing Slappy apparently).

 

They really could have had something here.

[Spidey Freak]

How is reducing it to just a Slappy movie going to make it any different than your average Chucky flick?

[Yandereprime101189]

So instead of making it a Greatest Hits Of All Stine's Monsters movie like the first movie (which I loved), the sequel is going to be like an example of one of the Slappy books?

 

This isn't a bad thing. The plot is literally a book RL Stine could have written as part of the Slappy sequels.

Considering it's out in three months, they need to release a trailer ASAP

Releasing the trailer in front of Hotel Transylvania 3 is too good of an opportunity to pass up, in my opinion... Sony has a problem if they pass on such an opportunity.

[Mojoguy]

Have they even filmed filming this movie?

This feels like a dump by the studio.

Well that's a downgrade if I ever saw one.

[Eric Prime]

I still don't get why Jack Black's only doing the voice of Slappy in this. He just got a second wind of goodwill from Jumanji, but instead of Sony capitalizing on that, he's just relegated to a voice role with a bunch of no-name kids as the stars? At the very least, Sony should have kept 13 Reasons Why fresh off the success of that show.

Looks like a direct to DVD sequel.

[Krissykins]

Yikes. 

[DAJK]

Definitely looks like it's missing the charm of the first one. Goosebumps was one of my favourite family movies of 2015, this definitely does look like a direct-to-Teletoon knock-off. 

 

House with a Clock in its Walls looks like a better version of this.

Came here to say just that.

 

This looks cheap and sad.

Anyways this looks like shit. Don’t expect this over $60M tbh.
