Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween

High school senior Sarah Quinn faces significant pressure as she tries to complete her application paper for Columbia University. The stress of her future looms over her, impacting her focus and emotions.

Sarah’s boyfriend, Tyler Mitchell, surprises her by sneaking through her window for a secret reunion. However, their moment is abruptly interrupted when Sarah’s mother, Kathy, and her brother, Sonny, unexpectedly catch them, causing Tyler to leave hastily.

The next morning, Sam Carter, Sonny’s best friend, arrives for a weekend stay. The boys eagerly anticipate a fun time together, but their day quickly becomes complicated with encounters at school.

On the way to school, Kathy stops at a store and seems to hit it off with the manager, Walter. Their friendly interaction hints at potential connections that could alter the dynamics within the family.

While promoting a junk pickup service, Sam creates tension by putting up flyers, attracting the ire of local bully Tommy Madigan. When Tommy and his gang confront them, Sam stands up to bullies, leading to a brewing rivalry.

With Kathy working late, Sarah is assigned the task of watching over Sonny and Sam. Unbeknownst to her mother, Sarah plans to sneak out with Tyler while the boys embark on their own adventure.

The boys venture into an abandoned house and discover a secret compartment in an old stuffed cat containing a locked book. When they accidentally unleash Slappy, a mischievous dummy, they unwittingly invite chaos into their lives.

As Slappy comes to life, he causes a series of chaotic events, particularly making a fool of Tommy Madigan by pulling down his pants in front of their peers. The boys take advantage of the confusion to make a quick getaway.

Sarah faces emotional distress when she sees Tyler with another girl at a concert, leading her to confide in Sonny. Meanwhile, Slappy overhears their conversation, foreshadowing further trouble ahead.

During an unplanned school decoration preparation setup, Slappy intervenes, leading to Tyler getting injured. This incident deepens Sarah's frustration and fear over Slappy's influence and intentions.

Realizing Slappy's true nature, the kids initiate frantic attempts to eliminate the mischievous dummy. Each effort leads to more bizarre and dangerous encounters, amplifying fear and chaos.

The children discover that they need the locked book to contain Slappy’s powers, but soon find that Tommy has taken possession of it. They devise a plan to retrieve the book from Tommy, setting the stage for a confrontation.

With the guidance of Mr. Chu, the kids disguise themselves to infiltrate Tommy’s territory. This strategic move is crucial for their plan to reclaim the book and restore order before Slappy wreaks more havoc.

A fierce battle unfolds at the Tesla Tower, where the kids confront Slappy head-on. As they fight against unleashed monsters, Sarah demonstrates resilience and cleverness to harness the book's powers against him.

Finally, Sarah submits her application essay, receiving joyful news of her acceptance to Columbia University. However, as they celebrate, a darker turn occurs back at Stine's home as Slappy surfaces again, plotting a sinister new plan.
