Evil Thing

The Evil Thing is the main antagonist of the R. L. Stine Horror Film, 'The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It'.

The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It
When thirteen-year-old Cassie Keller (Emily Osment) was going to the library, she catches a glimpse of a Halloween store and the store owner gives her a book entitled ''The Evil Thing. ''On its front page was the warning DO NOT READ ALOUD. Cassie ignores the warning, and reads it to her younger brother Max. The Evil Thing is later brought into being, and it kidnaps Max when he started to think about it. It also captured Priscilla and a nameless pizza delivery man. It was going to make them food for its unborn children. Cassie, along with Sean, go to the Halloween shop to get some answers on how to defeat the creature. The man later gave them a riddle that was: Two heads are better than one. That's the way to get the bloody job done. They later come up with an idea to get a roast that Cassie's mom was cooking and throw it on the monster. The monster would then have no other choice but to drain itself dry of its own blood. Due to some minor problems, they end up dumping the blood on Max. Max then faces his fear of the Evil Thing and tosses the blood on the monster. It soon starts to attack its own heads and explodes. Cassie and the others soon freed the pizza delivery man, and Priscilla, and Sean severes his ties with her. However, the Evil Thing is brought back to life when the parents found the book in the fireplace and the father mockingly read it aloud. The lights in the house soon went out, and the movie ends with the Halloween shop owner telling the audience to have a Happy Halloween and laughing.

Poem
This was the poem that brought The Evil Thing to Life. It goes as follows:

'"The Evil Thing is a gruesome beast. '

'On living flesh it loves to feast.'

'It's a two-headed thing whom you don't wish to greet.'

'One head sucks your blood, one head chews your meat.'

'It carries its babies in slimy eggs on its back.'

'The babies are hungry when they hatch for a snack, so '

'the Evil Thing traps some poor victim alive, for the babies to eat when their birthdays arrive.'

'But don't worry, don't cry, please don't have a fit.'

The Evil Thing is not real... unless you think about it."
