\"210207.jpg\"<\/a>Goosebumps: Go Eat Worms. Don\u2019t watch this one too close to bedtime unless you\u2019re really good with horrifying images and gross situations. Come to think of it, that\u2019s perfect for the average tween boy. In the first episode of this DVD, a boy who is obsessed with worms gets a role reversal when the worms start to manipulate him and take over his world. It offers a good lesson on respecting nature. Bad Hare Day starts off with a hair-rising bang inside a magic shop. Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes is a delightfully haunting tale of lawn ornaments that come to life. The DVD is entertaining for older children with great imaginations. They are based on R.L. Stine\u2019s popular novels for tweens. In the Goosebump DVDs there is equal representation of males and females. Parents have good relationships with each other and with the children, but the children are always the heroes. Child Juror Comments: I liked this DVD because it\u2019s like a mystery. It\u2019s a kid horror movie. I think my friends would like it because we all love the Goosebump books. It\u2019s just like the books.\u00a0 It looked and sounded pretty good. Actually, it sounded great, but you can tell the gnomes are fake. They\u2019re just wearing masks. My favorite part was in the gnome one when the gnomes were trying to decide what to do to the kids. They couldn\u2019t decided, and they were coming up with different funny answers then they started fighting. DVD. 66 min.; $14.98; Ages 8-12. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Goosebumps-Worms-Artist-Not-Provided\/dp\/B003U6SJX6\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1286485627&sr=1-1<\/a><\/p>\n

Goosebumps: The Blob That Ate Everyone<\/em><\/strong>. If you like a little scare, then Goosebumps is perfect for you.\u00a0 You\u2019ll find your heart beating faster and turning your face away from gross scenarios as the stories based on R. L. Stines writing come to life. Each of the three anecdotes on this DVD end well and inspire imagination. In The Blob That Ate Everyone, <\/em>a young writer realizes that he has the power to create his own stories. In Piano Lessons Can Be Murder <\/em>a young boys encounters a ghost. It\u2019s a story that might put kids off piano lessons forever. My Hariest Adventure<\/em> is about a boy who suddenly begins to grow excessive amounts of hair on his arms and legs. The cinematography on the DVD is very clear, as is the sound. These are television episodes put onto DVD, and it\u2019s obvious with brief pauses and backtracks for commercial breaks. The acting in My Hariest Adventure<\/em> seems stilted. Child Juror Comments: This DVD is about people who have ghost encounters and strange stuff happens to them. I like how it\u2019s made-up stories of ghosts and stuff. I didn\u2019t really like how unreal the blob looked. It looked really fake. I think my friends would like this because they like the books. The pictures looked fake, but that\u2019s okay. Some parts were better than others. My favorite part was figuring out whether the conclusion I figured out would happen was really how it ended. 66 min.; $14.98; Ages 8-12.
