This film was never intended to take itself seriously. Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd worked with R. L. Stine to create a fun, young teen oriented movie. I love the nostalgic moments of the film. Parts of the movie made me miss a simpler time of being a high school kid. I love that Dan Aykroyd plays the role seriously. He knows what this flick is. It's Halloween time and there's not a lot of fun stuff , or even great stuff out there ; in part, due to the current writer strike. I'm guessing this was completed before it all started. If you approach this movie as a bit of a spoof, you'll enjoy it. If you're looking for something really scary , this isn't for you.
