R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books never stuck to a single type of horror, with stories like The Werewolf of Fever Swamp dishing up traditional scares while The Cuckoo Clock of Doom introduced many kids (e.g. me) to their first existential crisis. A single movie could never capture every mood of every book, and thankfully the studio didn’t attempt a Goosebumps Cinematic Universe. Instead, we get this self-aware mix of humour and family-friendly horror that celebrates the series rather than exploits it.

Disposable product intended to appeal to everyone but likely to resonate with no one.

Would seem to yield the serial pleasures a voracious Stineophile might desire.

There’s a streak of old-fashioned B-movie spooky playfulness here, and when actual, motivated characters are on screen it’s delightful.

Nonstop mayhem follows in a stampede of comic terrors ready made for Halloween.

Weird, wonderful work, every scene in the movie feels authentic.

Translates R.L. Stine’s frighteningly successful young adult horror fiction series to the big screen with lively, teen Ghostbusters-type results.

While kids will still have fun with this, it sadly lacks the imaginative capacity which should have been its strong point and would have made it a more endearing tribute to its source material.
