Now that it is October, many Halloween media has dropped. I thought I would start with the new Goosebumps series on Hulu. I am a total Goosebumps kid, I used to read the books and my dad, brother and I would all watch the original movies when I was younger. So as someone who is already a fan of the concept I thought we’d check out the new series.

Look this was a vaguely good idea but the weak points of its execution are so weak that it makes the show actually hard to watch. No one wants to watch something full of overused tropes with absolutely no new twist on them. The cinematography being too dark is non-negotiably bad. That is a trend that needs to die, you can convey nighttime or that the room is dark without it being unwatchable for the audience. Filmmakers have been doing that for decades and we need to get it together.
