It turns out that Black is actually … R.L. (It’s pretty plain that a big chunk of the movie got cut in order to get to the monster stuff faster, and the narrative does take some lumps on account of this.) At school, a wide-eyed nerd named Champ and referred to as “Chump” by the rest of his class ( Ryan Lee) makes fast friends with Zach, and the two determine to find out exactly what’s up with the new neighbors. Things perk up a bit with the appearance of cute teen girl-next-door Hannah ( Odeya Rush) but get hectic when Hannah’s tetchy, eccentric dad ( Jack Black) butts in. The story begins with Amy Ryan’s educator mom Gale driving her and discontented son Zach (Dylan Minette) to their new home in what the kid believes to be the dullest spot in the known world, let alone Delaware.
Scenarists Alexander and Karaszewski go big by constructing a meta-narrative that can contain an incredible number of Stine’s cheeky/scary monsters.
