Highly Recommended The Movie: Here’s a film that threw everyone off a bit. There be dragons? If you want to get technical the phrase is actually “Here Be Dragons,” but it was modified a bit for the film
Skip It Zoinks! Abby (Aimee Teegarden) , her kinda-sorta boyfriend Travis (Tony Oller) , and a few other clean-scrubbed fake teenager types think they’ve spotted a gh-gh- ghost ! at Old Man Ely’s creepy ol’ house.

DVD Talk Collector Series THE MOVIE: Please Note: The screengrabs used here are from the standard-definition DVD included in this set, not from the Blu-Ray. So the moral of the story is kids ruin everything
Recommended THE MOVIE: Please Note: The screen captures used here are taken from an earlier standard-definition DVD, not the Blu-ray edition under review. I’m starting to feel a surge of ’90s nostalgia lately, which is something I thought I’d never say.
