PARTY PLEASER:

Shirleon joins Melvin to summarize The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It, a late-2000s direct-to-video family-friendly horror movie based on R.L. Stine's short stories! Is it possible to be scary without being gory? How frightening can a PG-rated horror movie be, anyway? And does it even capture that spooky Halloween spirit?

Topics:

  • (FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 38-minutes discussing the usage of AI-generated voices of real-life, still-living actors like Frank Welker for a Scooby-Doo fan-film called "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? In... Springtrapped!", why it matters even though this is a fan-film, and how distractions cloud the quality of all kinds of art-projects. (FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
  • Melvin gets excited when "Special Make-Up and Effects by Greg Nicotero and Howard Berger" pops up during the opening credits.
  • Talking "school envy", where films and shows will not only make High School extremely cool but usually the environment is just all-around awesome.
  • The licensed tracks in the film are extremely blunt and obvious about how our characters are feeling or the general setting, and Melvin wonders... what other movies have done this?
  • The main trio of characters are distinct, lending to a decent-enough interplay needed for the film.
  • The subtitle "Don't Think About It" doesn't really play into the story at all.
  • When the horror stuff starts to kick in, the two agree: it's pretty decent for a family-accessible horror flick.
  • So... how's the monster look?
