Goosebumps Season 2, subtitled “The Vanishing,” takes viewers on a chilling journey back into the world of R.L. Stine’s iconic horror series. This season follows Anthony, whose brother Matty mysteriously vanished 30 years ago along with three other kids at a military fort.
When Anthony returns to his hometown with his twin children, Cece and Devin, they soon find themselves entangled in the same eerie mystery that plagued their family decades before. As the children delve deeper into the secrets of the old fort, they encounter a series of supernatural occurrences, from ghostly apparitions to unsettling encounters with an otherworldly force.
Season 2 of Goosebumps successfully captures the spirit of the original series, delivering a blend of suspense, humor, and genuine scares. The young cast delivers strong performances, and the special effects, while not groundbreaking, effectively enhance the chilling atmosphere.
While some may find the plot predictable at times, the overall eerie tone and nostalgic nods to the original series make “The Vanishing” a satisfying addition to the Goosebumps franchise.
