"Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween" tries its hardest, but is never quite able to recapture the thrills (or heart) that made the original a surprise success. This is in no small part due to it being noticeably lower-budget than the 2015 film, and suffering a rushed, patchy narrative. Although it does thankfully benefit from Jack Black in another scene-stealing turn as R.L. Stine and a few engaging sequences.
As it stands, "Haunted Halloween" serves best as a weekend rental for families with young children... but it's not really worth rushing out to buy. I give it a middle-of-the-road 2.5 out of 5. (Rounding up to 3 for the rating system on this website).

Trivia: When RL Stein gets out of his his car he sees a red balloon floating near a sewer vent and he says something along the line of, "I knew it! I did it first!" This is a reference to Stephen king's IT. Also Jeremy Ray Taylor, who plays Sonny in this film, played Ben Hanscom in the 2017 remake of IT.
