Slappy the devious dummy returns with a bevy of frightening friends (some new and some familiar) in Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, and ahead of the film's October 12th theatrical release, a new trailer offers a longer look at the movie's creatures, including ravenous gummy bears galore!
Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is directed by Ari Sandel (The DUFF) from a screenplay by Rob Lieber (co-writer of Peter Rabbit).
Like the first film, directed by Rob Letterman, the sequel is based on R.L. Stine's Goosebumps book series, which was originally published from 1992–1997 and still continues through multiple storytelling mediums today.
Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween stars Madison Iseman (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Ben O’Brien (Manchester by the Sea), Caleel Harris (Castle Rock), Jeremy Ray Taylor (2017's IT), Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ken Jeong, and Chris Parnell.
At this time, it doesn't look like Jack Black will be reprising his role as R.L. Stine, but the sequel will feature the return of Slappy. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates on the sequel!
Synopsis: "Halloween comes to life in a brand-new comedy adventure based on R.L. Stine's 400-million-selling series of books. The film is directed by Ari Sandel, written by Rob Lieber, and produced by Deborah Forte and Neal H. Moritz."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
