RAVING REVIEW:\u00a0<\/strong>A new entry into the family-friendly spooky season catalog that doesn\u2019t blaze any new trails but doesn\u2019t make you regret watching it. A rare feat, especially when there are many other \u201cwholesome horror\u201d options that fail terribly.<\/p>\n

\n

The film’s cast does quite a bit to lift the straightforward story to the next level. Marlon Wayans, Lauren Lapkus, Rob Riggle, John Michael Higgins, and Kelly Rowland star in the film and helps to add the perfect mix of comedy with a shocking amount of \u201cdrama\u201d from such a heavy emphasis on traditionally funny cast members. In what I consider the most critical performance in the film, Priah Ferguson, who you may recognize from STRANGER THINGS (another Netflix production), plays opposite most of the cast, giving a fun but not over-the-top young actor performance.<\/p>\n

The story will remind you of the old GOOSEBUMPS TV series, mixed with a bit of HALLOWEENTOWN and a dash of HOCUS POCUS. Yet it works as a creation all on its own as well; it was interesting to see Marlon Wayans play a rather dramatic role (compared to his traditional comedy roles.) Thankfully it wasn\u2019t 100%, and there were a few moments where you could see his genuine self come to the surface, including one scene in a haunted house that calls back to his IN LIVING COLOR days and was one of my favorite moments.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t going to win any awards, but I also can think of so many other entries into this horror subgenre that were legitimately painful to sit through. There was enough bouncing around in the story that you never got stuck on one particular portion for longer than necessary. Although some subplots seemed to be forgotten about almost as quickly as they were introduced.<\/p>\n

Also, did you know where the term jack-o-lantern came from? Well, you still won\u2019t know the entire truth after watching this, but I was intrigued enough to google it and find out!<\/p>\n
