Goosebumps 2!  Most of us grew up reading the Goosebumps books, sharing them with our kids or even watching the series on TV.  Our kids loved the books and the movie even more! Now on DVD and Blu-ray Sony Pictures Entertainment has released Goosebumps 2.  Slappy the devious ventriloquist dummy returns to run amuck, in this second installment of the family-friendly franchise based on R.L. Stine's beloved book series.   

Our fourteen year old daughter's take on the movie "This movie was really cool! I loved how there were so many new mysteries in it.  It was so awesome to watch it and it was also really funny.  I loved the actors too! They were perfect for the roles.  It was overall such an amazing movie and I had a blast watching it!

The Goosebumps 2 Blu-ray/DVD Digital bonus features include a gag reel full of hilarious hijinks, three all new deleted scenes and five featurettes.  Between the chills, thrills and goosebumps, watch the cast get a case of the giggles in the "Gag Reel." Dive deep in "Thrills & Chills - The Making of Goosebumps 2" with Madison Iseman, along with behind the scenes footage and interviews with the cast and crew.  "Meet the Monsters" (our fav) gives fans a sneak peek of how the scary creatures were brought to life.  And get ready to sing along with three hilarious "Slappy-oke" songs.  Who knew dummies could sing!?
