Did you know
- TriviaDisney Channel reportedly received complaints from parents, that this film was too dark and scary, for a younger demographic. It is now aired rarely, but is available digitally, via Amazon.com and Disney+ along with other classic Disney Channel Original Movies.
- GoofsDuring the opening scene, Frances Bacon McCausland describes Middleburg in the middle of the country, but if you look closely at the city background, you can obviously tell it's downtown Salt Lake City, Utah on the UTA Train Trax and in the background is the former First Security Bank skyscraper, and another building is Salt Lake City Hall Clock Tower. This 1999 Disney Channel movie was obviously filmed and located in Salt Lake City Utah and not in Middleburg Virigina.

Featured review
This movie is not especially and intelligent movie with complex situations and in-depth background of the characters. It is more of a movie that deals with family situations and the doings of a teen-age girl. The plot of the story is actually quite silly, being about a boogie man, but there is a few parts in this movie that are all of funny and interesting. The only thing I find very awkward is how Erin Chambers looks to be the high schooler that she is supposed to play, but is really over 6 years older. She was twenty years old when she played the part of "Frances". So that just goes to show how weird Hollywood does things.
I think my favorite character in this would have to be Larry. The "Imaginary friend". He acts so unhuman like sometimes which is perfect for this type of kids show. This can be happily viewed by adults, but it would be much more enjoyed by even a child as young as four. The sets that they used in the movie must have taken them a long time to build at how elaborate they were. So since it was a sort of childish movie with not a lot of in depth proportion to it, I give it an 8.5 out of 10. But it was a pretty good film.
