TransAtlantyk This is one of those films where you need to review it as if you were a child watching on it on the screen. Adults are jaded and kids enjoy much simpler things in that magical childhood haze. If you are an adult you will watch this film and won't really think much of it however it does possess a nice Halloween atmosphere and Christopher Lloyd is enjoyable enough to watch. The plot is ridiculous and the ending is equally absurd but the children will love it and might even get a nice child-like fright out of the whole thing.It is appropriate for children, a concerned parent should of course watch the film themselves first but there are not many things which one would find offensive to a sufficiently old enough child. Cook up some popcorn and watch this one with your child. Don't be surprised if you find it to drag a little but the little ones will be fascinated.

miss_nicole This movie is plain out LAME! The story is dumb, the actors suck and overdo it, escpecially the boy that its about. He looks stupid when he screams and you don't get really convinced. It's not a bit scary and the fiction is soooo lame! When you are waiting to see the zombie that the whole story is about at the end...the resault is wack! It's so badly made! It's just a dummy or something, this flick is NOTHING to pay for!

BHorrorWriter When my 14 year old brother was younger, he was very much into the Goosebumps books that R.L. Stine was cranking out at a very rapid pace. He still has probably 75 or more of them. Anyways, being an avid Horror fan, and knowing full well the books were geared towards kids, I still gave them a shot. I must say R.L. Stine writes like kids are idiots, or they won't questions things. His stories are very obvious, predictable, and sometimes down right dumb...My little brother quickly out grew the books, but nonetheless, my mother still has them. I can honestly say there were a few I go in to. The Haunted Mask being one of them.Anyway, Here we have a Made for Video movie starring Christopher Lloyd. He truly is the stare of the film. I must say this one wasn't that bad. The story was silly, but still gave a creepy Halloween vibe...A creepy vide at all, which is missing from most Stine's stuff. I was very disappointed with the ending...However, it is in true Stine fashion.My wife and I watched this with my Daughter, who is very intelligent, and loves saying "Scary" in a very deep, almost demonic voice. She did that a lot though this film. She is only 21 months old, but movies like Halloween, are more her speed for some reason. Anyway, she seemed to like this, and I found it to be a refreshing blend of scare and fun....Recommend for any audience...Decent effects, very colorful, beautiful sets....overall not a bad kids flick!8 out of 102006 UPDATE: My Daughter is now 6 years old and still enjoyes watching this film around Halloween. It is a tradition during that time of year.

BellaMorteGhoul ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** *Possible Spoilers?*As a teenager, I don't often watch movies made for kids. But as my little brother sat watching this one, I couldn't help sneaking a peek at it. The cute little 8th grade goth kid with the crazy long black hair and safety pinned tie was WAY too adorable. He was THE coolest kid in the whole movie, although the storyline was a little.. mature for 8 year olds. I was sad when I found out that he dies, and even sadder at the end when I found out the truth. I think the end when the statue is unveiled is one of the best parts, although I was tipped off at who it was earlier in the movie. If you want a good Halloween story, but not all the blood and guts... and a cute goth boy too.. I recommend this one.
