What Parents Need to Know
About R.L. Stine's Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It
Parents need to know that while this movie is from the same people who created the creepy, crawly series Goosebumps, it's more of an ad for products like Papa John's Pizza than anything else. Parents should also know that Cassie does some pretty antisocial things, like terrorizing her little brother with ghost stories, hiding in his closet to scare him, and filling a pinata with roaches so Priscilla will be covered in them -- all because she's angry that she had to move and Priscilla humiliated her. Parents should also know that the movie gets pretty scary at different points, especially when the kids attempt to kill The Evil Thing.

Heroine in kids' horror movie is not a good role model, plus loads of ads.
The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It is a very bad movie, but it's not horrible. Most of the actors did poorly, especially Alex Winzenread (Max). Even Emily Osment (Cassie), Cody Linley (Sean), and Brittany Curran (Priscilla) didn't do so great as they normally do. 13-year-old goth Cassie (Emily Osment) moves to a new town. The fact that mean girl Priscilla (Brittany Curran) humiliated her in the lunch room on her first day doesn't make things any better. But she has no idea what other things will be happening soon. One day, while walking around town, Cassie discovers a store that she's never seen before, and that apparently is only open on Halloween. She finds a book, The Evil Thing. The one thing that gives Cassie joy is terrorizing her little brother Max (Alex Winzenread). When he cuts her computer off purposely, to get revenge, she reads him The Evil Thing, ignoring the warning "DO NOT READ ALOUD." However, she catches the warning at the end: "DON'T THINK ABOUT IT." and warns Max not to, but he can't help but. And so, he (along with Priscilla and a Papa John's delivery man) is captured by the actual Evil Thing and wrapped up in a cocoon, where he is almost eaten alive by its babies. And so, it is up to Cassie and Priscilla's boyfriend, Sean (Cody Linley), to go look for them before it's too late. Not only do many characters behave badly (including the heroine), but there are plenty of adverts: a Papa John's delivery man is a somewhat central character (we also see a Papa John's logo on his car and we hear Max talking about how good the pizza is at the end), we see SpongeBob and Pokemon items in Max's bedroom several times throughout the movie, Cassie listens to her iPod when she gets home from school, and Max and Cassie mention the Berenstein Bears two times. Also, Emily Osment's music video for her song, "I Don't Think About It", is played during the end credits. Along with this, the movie is also very creepy - scary enough to earn it a PG rating. This isn't a good choice for anyone under the age of 8.

Kids' horror movie contains too much advertisements.
Sexual Content (Pause): A completely unnecessary sexual joke at the end that will go over the heads of younger viewers. Violence (Pause): The Evil Thing might scare viewers, especially the younger ones. The pizza delivery man, Priscilla, and Max are wrapped up in cocoons by the Evil Thing. The babies almost eat Max. Max throws blood on the Evil Thing, and then it bites itself to death. Language (Not an Issue): Oh my God, sucks, dang, retarded. Social Behavior (Off): Cassie scares Max. Priscilla embarasses Cassie in the cafeteria. Cassie fills a pinata with roaches so that they fall on Priscilla. Sean and Priscilla pretend to be the Evil Thing to scare Cassie. Priscilla doesn't treat Sean with respect, however, she gets her comeuppance in the end. Commercialism (Off): SpongeBob SquarePants, Pokemon, Berenstein Bears, iPod, Papa John's Pizza (there is a coupon in the DVD for a free pizza). Emily Osment's music video is played during the end credits. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Not an Issue): None. I think this movie should have been rated: PG I recommend it to everyone aged: 9+
