Hannah Montana Stars Have Spooky Movie Coming to DVD in September

Hannah Montana fans need not fret for they will get to see more of their favorite stars in a new DVD debuting on shelves this September. Emily Osment, who plays Miley's best friend Lilly, and Cody Linley, who plays Miley's love interest Jake Ryan on Hannah Montana, will star in R.L. Stine's The Haunted Hour: Don't Think About It. The production is a made-for-DVD movie from Universal Studios Home Entertainment and The Hatchery, LLC. Osment stars as 13 year old Cassie, a Goth girl who is trying hard to adjust to a new school and neighborhood. She then begins playing spooky pranks on the cool kids at school, scaring they and her little brother. However, right before Halloween, she gets hold of a mysterious book entitled "The Evil Thing", which would change her life forever.

R.L. Stine has reached out to a younger audience with his award-winning stories such as the Goosebumps series of books that have sold over 220 million copies so far. The FOX Kids' show based on the books aired for four years and was named by TV Guide as one of the best children shows on television.

The Haunted Hour: Don't Think About It DVD contains bonus material such as a segment which takes a closer look at Stine, entitled "Think About It! R.L. Stine's Journey of Imagination." Other inclusions are the Interactive Scare-O-Meter, "The Making of Don't Think About It," and a previously unreleased music video from Emily Osment.

Osment makes her musical debut on the movie, singing its theme song entitled "I Don't Think About It." On Hannah Montana, her character is more of a backgrounder for her popstar friend Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) and it is in this movie that she takes the lead. Osment and Linley have appeared in movies prior to the success of Hannah Montana. Osment played Gerti Giggles in the second and third installments of the Spy Kids movies, while Cody starred in Hoot.

R.L. Stine's The Haunted Hour: Don't Think About It debuts on store shelves on September 4.
