    The Evil Thing is not real unless you think about it. For 13-year-old Cassie, fitting into a new school and neighborhood isn't easy, but she entertains herself and by playing pranks on the popular kids and her little brother, Max. As Halloween approaches, Cassie's search for scar...( read more)es leads her to a mysterious Halloween store and an unusual book called The Evil Thing. When Max begs her to read the book to him, Cassie ignores its warning, "Do Not Read Aloud", and the spooky adventure really begins.

    Directed by Alex Zamm, The Haunting Hour Volume One: Don't Think About It features very good acting performances from the following cast:
    1.) Emily Osment (Cassie)
    2.) Cody Linley (Sean)
    3.) Brittany Elizabeth Curran (Priscilla)
    4.) Alex Winzenread (Max)
    5.) Tobin Bell (The Stranger)

    Goosebumps author R.L. Stine brings us the film straight from the horror sub-genre that is scary but family-friendly, but still too scary for the younger children. Here is The Haunting Hour, featuring a goth girl who likes to enjoy the horror stuff...wow, that character really fits into the story background. Although Emily O. comes from the tween-targeted Disney Channel pop culture that I despise, I can say that her acting here is very good while she proves herself to be more popular than her big bro Haley Joel (who saw dead people). If I thought queen bees are only seen in high school movies, then I'd better think again: BEC playing Priscilla totally represents one for junior high, and she's really bratty for a queen bee, you know. The film has good horror fun when our characters go after the monster, and they'll do everything to save everyone's lives before it's too late.

    Cassie (Emily Osment) is a 13-year-old goth girl who just moved to a new neighborhood and school. She loves playing tricks on the popular kids at school (she filled a pinata with bugs at her school's halloween dance) and her younger brother Max (Alex Winzenread).
    On the way to th...( read more)e library, Cassie finds a mysterious Halloween store down an alley and goes inside. The store owner (Tobin Bell) sells her a book called The Evil Thing which contains a warning on the front page: "DO NOT READ ALOUD." That night, Priscilla (Brittany Elizabeth Curran), who stole The Evil Thing from Cassie's bag in school, gets back at Cassie and films her jumping in fear, quoting from the book. Cassie ignores the warning in the book and reads it to Max to get back at him for turning off her computer in the middle of her writing a report:
    ?
    The Evil Thing is a gruesome beast.
    On living flesh it loves to feast.
    It's a two-headed thing whom you don't wish to greet.
    One head sucks your blood, one head chews your meat.
    It carries its babies in slimy eggs on its back.
    The babies are hungry when they hatch for a snack.
    So the Evil Thing traps some poor victim alive,
    For the babies to eat when their birthdays arrive.
    But don't worry, don't cry, please don't have a fit.
    The Evil Thing is not real...
    Unless you think about it.
    ?
    Later that night, the Evil Thing, brought to life by Max's thoughts, captures him, Priscilla, and a Papa John's pizza delivery man. It is up to Cassie and Sean (Cody Linley) to save them.
    At first, they try to defeat The Evil Thing on their own, but fail. Cassie then asks the owner of the shop where she got the book for help. Cassie discovers that the store owner planted the book on her so she could get the real taste of her evil deeds and left them only a riddle for help: "Two heads are better than one. That's the way to get the bloody job done.", before making his shop disappear leaving them on the sidewalk, to which Cassie cries "Well what does that mean ?". Sean brilliantly makes remarks that solve the riddle. Together, they formulate that if they get blood from a roast that Cassie's mother made and throw it on the Evil Thing it will be forced to suck up the blood and in doing so will devour itself. By using Sean's CD of monster sound-effects as a "mating call", they were able to lure the monster to the CD player; however, when the monster nudged it, it turned into hip-hop music, thus ruining their plan. After fumbling for the blood because neither of them wanted to pour the blood onto the monster, they accidentally drop the blood nearby recently-freed Max who must conquer his fears and save the day. Thanks to Cassie's encouraging him, Max tosses the blood onto the Evil Thing, causing its heads to begin attacking it each other, begining to eat itself, eventually causing it to explode in a shower of yellow blood, taking its offspring with it.
    With The Evil Thing destroyed, Max, Sean, and Cassie save Priscilla, who angrily accuses Cassie of being a witch, and Sean rejects Priscilla in favor of Cassie. After Priscilla leaves, they save the pizza guy who offers free pizza in return for his release. After eating the free pizza, they burn the book and rid themselves of The Evil Thing. After coming home, their parents find the book only singed in the fireplace. The father mockingly reads it aloud, reviving the Evil Thing; the movie ends with Cassie realizing it is not over yet.
    The screen then goes dark and the store owner says "Happy Halloween", followed by some maniacal laughter.
