“One minute you’re invisible and the next minute the whole state knows your name.” A young and phantom voice speaks this ominous fact over a rotary phone receiver into the ear of the town’s latest kid who’s gone missing. Isolated in a basement with a single window too high to access and an antiquated phone, Finney Shaw (Mason Thames) accepts his new reality like he does every day in the outside world. He’s used to being the victim of everything kids fear: bullies, the death of a loved one, being unpopular, crossing an abusive caregiver, saying the wrong thing to your crush, even jumping too much while watching a scary movie alone. However, with a little help from beyond the grave, Finney may have just enough fight left in him to face his ultimate fear head-on.

Conan O'Brien to join 'American Idol'. Somebody please pinch me. Yesterday, Howard Stern made the announcement regarding the possibility of his becoming a judge for Fox's hit reality series "American Idol", calling the show a "karaoke contest".
Now, it looks like former "Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien has been approached for the job to replace Simon Cowell as the fourth judge on the panel. Media Life magazine claims Fox executives have put out their feelers already. Irish Central's Amy Andrews Gossip Girl quotes a source as saying, "Idol bosses think he'd be a good draw now after all the Leno fuss."
Considering O'Brien can't return to television with his own show until September due to an exit deal he made with NBC, we highly doubt he'll be joining the judging panel anytime soon. Oh well, at this point in time, anybody sounds like a better replacement than Howard Stern.
