Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween

Much like the first film, this is fun and properly scary in parts. For me, the reduced on screen presence of Jack Black in this second instalment is a good thing - not sure why, but he does not work as R.L. Stine for me, and I'm normally a Black fan - and the greater on screen presence of Slappy is similarly welcomed. However, unlike the first film, the storyline here feels forced (the aim seems to be the more monsters the better) and the finale is a let down.
