We can argue that product placement in films has gone too far.

As is expected from children’s Halloween movies and a movie revolving around a Halloween-themed store. There is more cheese than I usually like with my movies. This was a welcome surprise that also helped offset the, “I’m too old for this movie” feeling that washed over me.
Back then girls were always the damsel in distress that the male leads were forever saving in children’s TV. They also let her character have fun when it’s her turn to be possessed. I also appreciate that Kate is written as brave, capable, and realistic.
Reyes gave probably my favorite performance of the younger cast. She’s rewarded by ending up stuck in the store with them. Jake’s crush, who is also Carson’s older sister, Kate (Marissa Reyes), tries to save the trio.

His mom, Sue (Rachael Leigh Cook), has remarried and there is now a new kid in the home. Smith) and Carson (Dylan Martin Frankel) are starting to outgrow their usual Halloween shenanigans. Jake (Donovan Colan) is getting it from his friends and family. There is also the typical kid’s Halloween story unfolding. I felt crumbs of joy watching Spirit merch chase after kids while dropping one-liners voiced by Christopher Lloyd. They will now be spending the evening fighting off an angry spirit weaponizing Spirit Halloween’s entire catalog. Once stranded, they realize the store is haunted by an evil spirit who has until midnight to possess someone. It’s right on time for three friends fighting over plans to decide to spend Halloween night locked inside the store. It’s serving the Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of The Dark,? and the kids on bike situation that is now a requirement of kid horror.Ī Spirit Halloween Store opens in a small town. However, on top of that, this movie also pulls at all the nostalgia strings we buried with our inner kids.
I figured the appeal for me and the other youths would be seeing Marla Gibbs, Christopher Lloyd, and Rachel Leigh Cook. I went in with low expectations for Spirit Halloween: The Movie and am eating a little crow. I’m one of the people that live for Spirit Halloween but laughed when the movie was announced.
