Movie Review: **^Goosebumps II, Haunted Halloween (2018)

This is the sequel which is appropriately named "Haunted Halloween" because everything Halloween is haunted and comes to life.  But before we get there, Sarah (Madison Iseman) is in charge of her brother for the weekend.  Her brother, Sonny (Jeremy Ray Taylor) and his friend, Sam (Caleel Harris) have started a rummage company.  The get their first job and inadvertently open an R.L. Stine (Jack Black) book releasing the mannequin, Slappy.  Slappy insists on being part of a family with a Mommy (Wendi McClendon-Covey) a and siblings, all of the Halloween characters.  The unleashing of the monsters is terrible.  This movie gets distorted by too many monsters going every which way.  In the end it is credited to a weather anomaly, but pretty gruesome until they can get them all back in the book, and finish the story of one of Stine's first manuscripts.
