Nightbooks
CriticsCritics: 76
AudienceAudience: 6.0
A boy who’s obsessed with scary stories finds himself trapped in a witch’s modern magical apartment in New York City. To stay safe, he must keep writing and telling frightening tales as he desperately searches for a way out.
My takeYou’ll likely enjoy Nightbooks if you want a family-friendly Halloween horror with creepy magic and storybook thrills; Not for you if you need hardcore gore, fast scares, or if you’re put off by slower pacing like The House with a Clock in Its Walls or Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween.
