Stine book called Haunted Halloween in a house once owned by him. Upon opening it, they accidentally release a slew of monsters from Stine’s Goosebumps book series, and now the two boys, along with Sonny’s sister Sarah (Iseman) and Goosebumps author RL Stine (Black), must try and set things right before Halloween is ruined for everyone…
