A recently divorced man named Ron Emmerson takes his children Tim and Annie to the farm of Ron's eccentric Aunt Cly in the town of Turkey Hollow which has no technology. Tim and Annie find themselves caught up in searching for the "Howling Hoodoo," an elusive monster that has been considered a legend to the citizens of Turkey Hollow while also coming across the plot of a scheming neighbor that frames Aunt Cly for the theft of the turkeys.

Goofs
Aunt Cly's "green tea with ginger, fully loaded with Echinacea' is clearly just water".

Quotes

Great addition to Thanksgiving specials

Great movie for the whole family to watch. Its light enough not to scare the younger ones but has enough mystery and a story line to keep the older kids and parents attention. Makes the perfect fall Friday family movie night! Our kids are 3, 4 and 7 years old and it held their attention that they have watched it twice this fall so far. The Henson creatures are done very well they may seem a little frighting at first but soon become something none of our kids feared or had nightmares about. Which is something we have encountered in the past with other family friendly movies. Nice to have another movie the whole family can enjoy that is not animated. Some movies tend to be a little scary for the younger ones who want to be part of family movie night, but this one is the perfect mix of fun scary that is not scary.
