Continuity mistake: Towards the end after all the monsters are gone, in the background the sun is barely shining, but after 5 or 6 minutes when Sarah and the others are outside the building it's completely daytime.

"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: The real RL Stein makes a cameo appearance as the principal Mr. Harrison who presents Sonny with his science award at the end of the film.
