Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

TransAtlantyk This is one of those films where you need to review it as if you were a child watching on it on the screen. Adults are jaded and kids enjoy much simpler things in that magical childhood haze. If you are an adult you will watch this film and won't really think much of it however it does possess a nice Halloween atmosphere and Christopher Lloyd is enjoyable enough to watch. The plot is ridiculous and the ending is equally absurd but the children will love it and might even get a nice child-like fright out of the whole thing.It is appropriate for children, a concerned parent should of course watch the film themselves first but there are not many things which one would find offensive to a sufficiently old enough child. Cook up some popcorn and watch this one with your child. Don't be surprised if you find it to drag a little but the little ones will be fascinated.

Bob Such huge rarity for today's time - film with Christopher Lloyd in a leaging role! With the beginning of a new millennium this great actor all less often and less often gives to us pleasure the game, even more often appears on TV in films which are almost unknown a wide audience. To me has carried, I have seen this film.In a role come back from that light of the grandfather - zombie it is simply delightful. It always ideally accepted such unusual, little bit devil roles - madwomen, maniacs, envoys of a hell, and, on the contrary, representatives of paradise. In this film Lloyd's by game it is possible to enjoy simply - explosive, bright, comical and touching simultaneously game - a stream of transformations, the rubber mimicry so favourite by admirers, uncontrollable splashes in emotions and mad shine in opinion of. As it is a pity, that such roles come across recently to the actor so seldom and as it is insulting, that the general public cannot see it at cinemas.Excepting Christopher Lloyd's tremendous game, pluss and minuses of television statements are peculiar to film all - the small budget and economy is visible on everything, and especially on special effects, a make-up, suits, a place of shootings... However, it is possible to consider it simply as reserve - yes, special effects far are not ideal, and the script limps, and game of many children leaves much to be desired, - but all fascinatingly, cheerfully, interestingly and very much in spirit of a Halloween - informidable horrors and a kind fairy tale. Separate thanks for the ending, it has appeared unexpected enough and thus touching. And Christopher Lloyd's statue in the ending as if symbolizes merits of the great actor before cinema. In general, the excellent family comedy to look in its evening before a Halloween - lovely business, and during any other time it is possible to look with pleasure at Christopher Lloyd's game!

BHorrorWriter When my 14 year old brother was younger, he was very much into the Goosebumps books that R.L. Stine was cranking out at a very rapid pace. He still has probably 75 or more of them. Anyways, being an avid Horror fan, and knowing full well the books were geared towards kids, I still gave them a shot. I must say R.L. Stine writes like kids are idiots, or they won't questions things. His stories are very obvious, predictable, and sometimes down right dumb...My little brother quickly out grew the books, but nonetheless, my mother still has them. I can honestly say there were a few I go in to. The Haunted Mask being one of them.Anyway, Here we have a Made for Video movie starring Christopher Lloyd. He truly is the stare of the film. I must say this one wasn't that bad. The story was silly, but still gave a creepy Halloween vibe...A creepy vide at all, which is missing from most Stine's stuff. I was very disappointed with the ending...However, it is in true Stine fashion.My wife and I watched this with my Daughter, who is very intelligent, and loves saying "Scary" in a very deep, almost demonic voice. She did that a lot though this film. She is only 21 months old, but movies like Halloween, are more her speed for some reason. Anyway, she seemed to like this, and I found it to be a refreshing blend of scare and fun....Recommend for any audience...Decent effects, very colorful, beautiful sets....overall not a bad kids flick!8 out of 102006 UPDATE: My Daughter is now 6 years old and still enjoyes watching this film around Halloween. It is a tradition during that time of year.

BellaMorteGhoul ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** *Possible Spoilers?*As a teenager, I don't often watch movies made for kids. But as my little brother sat watching this one, I couldn't help sneaking a peek at it. The cute little 8th grade goth kid with the crazy long black hair and safety pinned tie was WAY too adorable. He was THE coolest kid in the whole movie, although the storyline was a little.. mature for 8 year olds. I was sad when I found out that he dies, and even sadder at the end when I found out the truth. I think the end when the statue is unveiled is one of the best parts, although I was tipped off at who it was earlier in the movie. If you want a good Halloween story, but not all the blood and guts... and a cute goth boy too.. I recommend this one.
