    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Director David Henrie explained in an interview on "The World Over" that he decided to make this film because he was disappointed in the lack of family films being made and wanted to make a relatively serious and slightly scary '80's-esque movie that younger audiences could enjoy.
    • Goofs
      Movie is supposed to take place in 1997, but in Noah's (Mason Thames) club house, there are several different State auto license plates on the clubhouse walls. One is a Maryland license plate. The design of the plate was issued from 2010-2015. Doesn't fit the time period of the movie story line.
