Story: Remember the movie Hell House?  The House on Haunted Hill?  Poltergeist?  Well, this movie spoofs ’em big time.

Scares: Maybe, if you’re as stoned as Ray is in this  movie.  Everything is played for laughs.

Splat factor: Nothing.  It’s a spoof of haunted house movies, so the blood level is nonexistent (and unecessary).

Closing scene “shocker”?: Well, it’s a spoof of current movies, so of course!  Don’t worry, it’s funny.

Remake, Sequel or OG (Original Ghoul)?: It’s the second of the Scary Movie series.  Hence the 2.

Trick or Treat?: A treat for a moment, like those horrible tasting but cool looking wax vampire lips.  Keenen Ivory Wayans does a great job with finding the spoof-worthy pieces of favorite horror movies, but a few of these gags play too long.  Of course, this may be me just not finding a puke battle hilarious.  My bad.  But “death by blunt” is hilarious, and the cast is more than game for the fun, especially Tim Curry as a horndog professor, and Night Court‘s Richard Moll as the ghost.  A pre-Hot Chick Anna Farris is here, and getting to see her come into her own as a film actress is a bit of film nostalgia.  Yeah, I can be nostalgic about 2001.  Mostly because I’m a bit hungover and everything seems a bit warm and fuzzy right now.

Score:   out of 5 pumpkins.
