Emily Osment steps outside of her goody goody personae as a goth girl who has had to move with her family to another town. As with almost all goth's she is not a happy person. She crosses wires with the school bitch and gets embarrassed. She gets even at the Halloween dance when the queen smashes open the pumpkin piñata and gets dowsed with a mixture of candy and roaches. She then gets tasked with watching her brother on Halloween and when he accidentally turns off her computer she reads him a special book. This book brings forth "The Evil Thing". Now her brother is a super wuss and I did not like his character at all. It is okay to be afraid of things but not like this kid is in this movie. Of course the Evil Thing shows up and kidnaps the brother, a pizza delivery guy, and the queen of the dance. The queen's boyfriend, from coercion more than any thing else, is really a good guy. He ends up dumping the queen and goes to Emily's house to get her to save the prisoners. To make a long story shorter Emily and the boyfriend use the blood from a roast to get the Evil Thing to eat itself. This frees the kidnapped ones and all live happily ever after, almost, kind of maybe.

I simply love this movie! It's a fun flick that I enjoy watching anytime of the year. I especially like the fact that it was shot here in the Pittsburgh area. The boy who plays Ralph in the movie should have had a bigger part. He should have gone to fight the evil thing with the rest of them. Anyway, you should see him now!!! He's 16 and he has grow into quite a hottie!!! He is performing now with a group called the UNDALRDS. He performs under the name Z1Nation, and one of his hits is called Black Superman. To find out more about him, you search for him on google or youtube. His videos can be found on laydash's channel.

The cartoon network is not my normal source for Sunday night movies but when I saw the previews for this new movie based on the R.L. Stein book it reminded me of my days of reading Goosebumps and decided to give it a try. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised as it was a fun movie with its share of spooky moments that children will love around Halloween time. The acting by the kids is well done, and Emily Osment (of Hannah Montanna) is great in the lead role. I recommend this to all parents wanting to watch a spooky movie with their kids. The version of the movie I saw was a special version in which Emily Osment did commentary along with the movie so that was pretty interesting too..I am not sure if this is on the DVD version but if it is it's an added bonus.

I thought The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It was amazing. Emily Osment was able to pull the far stretched character of Cassie, the goth girl very well. The movie is family oriented. The fact it is a horror/comedy meant for the family seemed odd to my opinion, but The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It is now my favorite movie, granted I am a HUGE Emily Osment fan. Anyway, the movie was able to creep me out, without being grotesque. Although, I must admit the yellow monster goop towards the end of the movie was kind of weird looking. The nice part was, after being scared, a bit after there would be a part that would make you laugh a lil'. Whether it was Sean (Cody Linley) acting goofy with a shocker pen or Cassie (Emily Osment) saying her amusing lines. The movie also shows a bit of a lesson as well. That you should be yourself and that it's okay to be weird, lol. For instance, at the end Sean (Cody Linley) says to Cassie (Emily Osment) to "Stay weird." I personally loved the movie and hope you all do to. But one thing that did annoy me was the movie's script at certain points. For example, a bit before the end of the movie Sean (Cody Linley) says "Oh dang, gotta jet." I must admit, the line made me giggle but seriously, who speaks like that? Haha, anyway this is a great movie and worth watching on TV/buying the DVD. FYI, this is the opinion of a fourteen year old girl, if you were wondering(:
