Here’s hoping the Haunted Mask gets more screen time in this one.

The 2015 film Goosebumps was an explosion of all the book franchise’s most iconic monsters, a brilliant approach to a feature film adaptation that felt like an adaptation of *all* the books in one fell swoop. So where do we go from here? Well, Goosebumps: Slappy’s Revenge is coming later this year, and we’ve got new plot details this week.

Via Backstage, here’s the plot rundown for the Ari Sandel-directed sequel:

Three friends must stop Slappy the dummy from starting the Halloween apocalypse.

Omega Underground notes that Slappy’s Revenge will feature a new trio of kids, including 17-year-old Sarah, her brother Sonny, and Sonny’s best friend Sam.

Jack Black will again voice Slappy and potentially return as R.L. Stine.

Shooting will begin next month ahead of an October 12, 2018 release.

Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.

Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.

Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”

Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”

David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.

XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
