Crack the creaky door to R.L. Stine's Nightmare Room and what you're really stepping into is a twilight zone for 12-year-olds. Here, tween scenarios more twisted than getting caught at the mall with Grandma take flight, freaking out the kind of hapless middle- and high-schoolers we hook up with in Scareful. First, normally Mr. Nice Guy would shrug off getting the cold shoulder from his dream babe, but a raw red rash he develops lights up the switchboard to his sinister side. Next, what happens when you cast aside the dolls you treasured as a kid? Mostly nothing, but battered old Buddy won't go into the box quietly. Wrapping things up is a pathological liar whose every elaborate ruse turns suddenly, scarily real. Dim the lights, pass the Doritos, and lock your doors--only a nationwide ban on MTV could send bigger swarms of kids (ages 8 to young teens) screaming into the night. --Tammy La Gorce

A Tangled Piece of Magic......
A wonderful addition to any DVD collection. R.L. Stine, the man behind the "Goosebumps" legacy, has returned with this collection of tales from his "The Nightmare Room" series. The disc is a highly enjoyable one and is full of tricks and treats for all ages. 4 episodes are featured on this disc. In "My Name is Evil" Morgan visits a carnival with friends and is told he is `evil' by a gypsy. Bad things start to happen, but the question is are they a fluke, or is the prediction true? In "Scareful What You Wish For" Dylan is followed around by Buddy, his supposed `best friend.' He belives that it is a childhood toy come to life. Will Dylan be able to stop Buddy's attacks, is he crazy or will he become just another victim? In "Tangled Web" Josh is a compulsive liar who uses words to get out of everything. But when a supply teacher shows up and believes his lie, things get interesting. Josh's lies begin to come true! Will Josh be able to escape the trouble he put himself in or will he become a casuality of his own words? Lastly in "Fear Games" teens are selected to take part in `The Fear Games.' Upon arrival at Tranquility Island April is told of a witch that inhibits it. During the games she sees that the witch legend may indeed be true. Will she and the others be able to escape reality tv alive? The stories each feature familiar faces from current televison....Tippy Hedren, Ashley Peldon (Catlin's Way/Thunder Alley), Besty Randle (Boy Meets World), David Carradine, Justin Berfield (Malcolm In The Middle) + the twins from "Big Daddy" and a few others. The acting is superb and each episode is excellently done. In terms of special features, there are a few. With "The Nightmare is Yours: The Haunted Cave" you have an interactive `Choose Your Own Adventure' type of story in which you decide your very fate. "Do You Dare?" is a trivia feature about our darkest nightmares. "The Nightmare Files" is an interview with R.L. Stine himself. Lastly, there is a "Trailers" feature that showcases other Warner Brothers titles that are available. I highly recommend this DVD as it provides a wide variety of entertainment for people of all ages. Do you dare attempt to venture into "The Nightmare Room?" :-)

TWILIGHT ZONE for kids
This is the TWILIGHT ZONE for kids... with young teens menaced by the supernatural...though usually with a not-so-subtle moral to the story. MY NAME IS EVIL is the best of this bunch...though they are all good, intelligent fun for the 16 and younger set.

Provocative
There are actually 3 movies in this dvd. The one with the "doll" really scares you. It makes you look again at any dolls you may have in your room. A great tale that will leave you questioning whether you should have any dolls in your home. The other two are also terrific. All three movies have strange twists near the end. It's best to watch them at night for the great fear factor. No blood or gore so they're very suitable for everyone except the weak of heart.
