Before the ‘Goosebumps’ reboot on Disney+, let’s take a look at Justin Long's unexpected domination of the horror genre.
When Justin Long is brought up in conversation the first thing that comes to mind for many of us is the innumerable hits to the head that he unflinchingly took in the 2004 comedy film Dodgeball. Between his roles of goofy good guys in romantic comedies and tech experts and burnouts in the likes of Accepted and Strange Wilderness, the Live Free or Die Hard actor has appeared in some truly haunting and hilarious horror movies.
After.Life In After.Life, Long takes on the character of Paul, the loving boyfriend of schoolteacher Anna. The night that Paul plans to propose to Anna she ends up getting in a horrific car accident and wakes up on a morgue table being told by funeral director Eliot that she died and that he is the only one who can hear or see her now. Anna is convinced that she isn’t dead and tries to contact Paul, who also believes that Eliot is lying about Anna’s death.
Long was able to bring his dry comedy to the goateed character, who teaches the girls all that they need to get through life in Warrior One and Warrior Two. Yogi the yogi teaches them some unconventional poses including the Pretentious Frog who only eats grass-fed flies and the Yoga Fett with laser wrists.
As Ross, Long brings a similar slapstick comedy style that he did with his character in Dodgeball, unfazed as he takes hard falls, but as a wannabe tough guy with sometimes childlike mannerisms. Ross is the embodiment of the awkward kid on the playground who tries way too hard to be cool, but all grown up into mall-cop glory. We all know someone like Ross, and his boyish rivalry with tech specialist Zak is hilariously familiar and one of the funniest parts of this ghost hunting parody.
