* AdaptationalHeroism: Slappy is portrayed much more sympathetically than in the first movie, or any of the books. Here he only wants a family of his own and genuinely was nice to Sonny and Sam at first before they tried to kill him. He even isn't a BadBoss to Walter and seems love his "mother".

* AdultsAreUseless: Played straighter than the original: neither Cathy nor Walter does much to affect the story, beyond [[spoiler:becoming [[PeoplePuppets unwitting henchmen]] for Slappy]]. Even R.L. Stine only arrives ''after'' the kids have already defeated Slappy themselves. Mr. Chu at least provides Sonny, Sarah and Sam with Halloween costumes which help them infiltrate the Tesla Tower undetected.

* BearsAreBadNews: The gummy bears.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Subverted. Slappy did seem to geniunely want to be in the family and he only used his powers to hurt bad people. He only tries to bring hlloween alive after the kids try to kill him.

** The Tesla tower. [[spoiler: Ben's model destroys his classroom. Slappy uses the real one to cause even more damage.]]

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The monsters, again. Taken up a bit with Slappy discussing his evil plans with Walter, and the duo's excitement to create more monsters. This is justified in that this time, Slappy himself directly gives them life.
* AntagonisticOffSpring: A theme in the first movie taken further here. [[spoiler: Slappy has completely disowned Stine as his father, and seeks to create a new family.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Slappy appears amicable and even friendly to Sonny and Sam at first, taking out and humiliating their bully, Tommy, and using his powers to do their chores and their homework for them. [[OhCrap Then they find out about Tyler's accident, and realize]] ''[[OhCrap exactly]]'' [[OhCrap what went wrong with Sonny's science project]].

* PostModernMagik: Slappy uses the invocation that he uses to animate objects on Tesla's definct electricity transmitting tower to activate it and bring all the Halloween decorations in town to life.

* AscendedExtra: Subverted. The Haunted Mask appeared in the first film as an easy to miss background monster. In this film its among the Goosebumps costumes that Slappy brings to life - but upon attaching itself to a host, transforms them entirely into a monster.

* AbandonedArea: R.L. Stine's house has become this for an unknown reason.
