Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween - Trailer 1 Review

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween - Trailer 1 Review



The first trailer for Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween has arrived. Does it deliver? 

Thoughts: I first want to preface this by saying that I really enjoyed the first film. Was it the greatest film of all time? Absolutely not. But it was such a cheerful, entertaining, fun, light-hearted ride that I was completely not expecting, and I enjoyed nearly every second of it. And once I knew that there would be a second film, I was really excited. To be honest though, this trailer took me completely by surprise. 

So what did I think of the trailer?

First of all, I won't lie and say I wasn't disappointed to see that the original cast wasn't there. I actually really enjoyed the original cast. Now, let me say that I understand the style of the books are having new characters every single time BUT not even Jack Black was therE voicing Slappy again? That scares me a little bit.

But on its own? The trailer was good. It didn't quite blow me away, but it looks like much the same of the first movie, which is just a light-hearted ride, withs some great visual effects. One thing I will say though is that it does look a little more like a "straight-to-DVD" kind of movie, but we'll just have to see. It's a very solid good first trailer. 

Did it Raise Excitement? Not quite, but I think that's okay. If the next couple trailers aren't so great though, that may be a little worrying. 

Trailer Rating: 6.5/10
