Audio drama is the ideal medium for spooky fun. "Lights Out,"
"Suspense," "The Whistler," "Inner Sanctum"--these were among the
most popular dramatic programs on '40's radio. The mental exercise
that audio gives to the imagination has more positive effects on
kids than the mind-numbing boob tube. Perhaps that's why, when
Disney rereleased some of its postwar kids albums on cassette a few
years ago, they were sold out within weeks of hitting the shelves.
In this instance, even merely serviceable performance does wonders
for Stine's hack writing. Disney has pumped more energy than
creativity into the slickly produced title. It's amiable, briskly
paced and safe. Neither parents nor their offspring will find any
unpleasant shocks here. When you give it to your kids, tell 'em to
shut their eyes and give their minds a listen. Y.R (c)AudioFile,
