Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With middling reviews (54% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 5.9 out of 10 from audiences, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Trouble with Harry, start here.
The mood
Light and funny, tense.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

Hubie Dubois, despite his devotion to his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts (and its legendary Halloween celebration), is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something really is going bump in the night, and it’s up to Hubie to save Halloween.
