Haunt Former reviews the 2015 blockbuster Jurassic World as part of his R.I.P. Reviews series, sharing a brief enthusiastic take on the film. Despite being hosted on a Halloween-focused channel with haunt-related sponsors and branding, the content itself has no meaningful Halloween, haunt, or horror-craft subject matter. At just four minutes, it functions as a casual fan review rather than any kind of instructional or Halloween-relevant video.
