R. L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour DVDs
September 11, 2012 By
My favorite time of the year is fast approaching – Halloween! I love it. There is something fun, magical and of course a bit frightening about Halloween. Shout! Factory and The Hub TV Network have just released R. L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The Series Volume 1 and Volume 2 DVDs, which plays perfecting into all of those things that make Halloween special.
Last night I sat down and watched all of volume 1 of R. L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour. I loved it, and I have to admit I was a little spooked! The first two episodes are part 1 and 2 of Really You, a frightening story about a young girl that gets a doll just like herself, but this doll isn’t satisfied to be like Lily, this doll wants to be Lily. Totally creeped me out, but in that fun/scary way, not a terrifying way. I do think it would be too scary for kids up to second grade, although some children that young may love it depending on what else they have been exposed to in the past. The Dead Body and Nightmare Inn both were really exciting and I thoroughly enjoyed A Creature Was Stirring. And although these stories are scary, one theme seemed to continue to jump out at me, Family Love. In almost every episode there is an underlying current of how the love shared within the family ultimately saves the day. I really like that. It is a subtle theme but one that could easily spark some great discussions between parent and child. Or you can just be scared together!
Each DVD title is priced at $14.97. R. L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The Series currently airs on Saturdays at 5 and 5:30 pm (ET) on The Hub TV Network. The Hub is a multi-platform joint venture between Discovery Communications and Hasbro, Inc., and extends its content through an engaging online presence at www.hubworld.com. So if you just can’t get enough of The Hub you can hop online and join in at any time.
I had a frightfully good time watching R. L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour. It would make a great scary movie marathon while you wait for the goblins to come knocking Halloween night, but I had fun watching it early. Hope you do too!
I was provided the DVD’s free of charge in exchange for a sincere review.
I’m Heading To Brandcation (Again)
September 8, 2012 By
Yes, I’m doing it again. I’m heading to Brandcation (#Brandcation). That fabulous blogging conference that is super intimate, changes location each time, and is a great experience. I can’t wait to go this time, as we are heading out to Pigeon Forge, TN and are going to be experiencing some awesome attractions. We will be staying with Cabin Fever Vacations in an amazing “Cabin” that can hold all 32 of us, outfitted with hot tubs and floor to ceiling windows to view the beautiful mountains. And of course we have to spend some time with Dolly at Dollywood! But our adventure doesn’t stop there, we will also have fun at the Titanic Museum, Country Tonight and the Dixie Stampede. Finally we get to go zip lining AGAIN, this time with Climbworks! I’m beyond stoked for that.
