Speaking of “The Shining,” that book and its author are the subjects of several knowing and funny in jokes; the movie’s full of them.

The film’s stabs at meta humor are more entertaining, with Stine written as an eccentric wordsmith who hates being compared to Stephen King...

This modern riff on Monster Squad is a very pleasant surprise, and so ’80s in spirit that it’s a shock one of the villains isn’t a giant Rubik’s Cube.

It is with great satisfaction that I can report that the Goosebumps film is not a quick cash-in on a publishing phenomenon but a creative exercise propelled by a nifty premise.
