Well the Halloween season 2015 is upon us now and what better way than to cozy up to the youngsters at the box office than offering the innocuous tingly treat Goosebumps? The goofy-minded family-friendly frightfest does have the ingredients to muster up some interest for the little goblins out there looking for hearty rounds of boos and bumps.

Final rating:★★ - Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal.

I use to be into goosebumps as a kid. Love the show too. I have to admit this was an awesome movie.
