Goosebumps Movie Review: Jack Black Leads Monster Mash

I never read theGoosebumpsbooks growing up, but my younger brother was a big fan. It was easy to understand their popularity: authorR.L. Stinewould take well-known monsters and insert them into our daily world in a way that was thrilling, but not unnerving.
