The namesake of Wait Till Helen Comes is no friendly ghost. She may act protective, yet Helen is the furthest thing from a guardian angel. The fact is, the deceptive spirit of Mary Downing Hahn’s 1986 book habitually sets her sights on children, preys on their insecurities and twists the truth to her advantage. Indeed, Helen will not only come, but she will do whatever it takes to find that perfect playmate for all eternity.
Wait Till Helen Comes begins with a blended family of five moving to the small country town of Holwell, Maryland after the parents buy a renovated church. As Jean and Dave work that summer, their three children are left to entertain themselves until school starts. Michael disappears into the woods every day to conduct his scientific research while his older and biological sister, Molly, is left to look after their resentful 7-year-old stepsister, Heather.

Jennifer Love Hewitt has a soft spot for anything remotely related to the horror/paranormal realm. From spending five seasons on The Ghost Whisperer, to telling us I Know What You Did Last Summer and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and even making her film debut in a film titled Munchie, which was a sequel to a horror/comedy called Munchies..
Now she takes aim to expand her resume by making her directorial debut in Wait Till Helen Comes.

Jennifer Love Hewitt (once known by the masses as Jennifer Love HugeTits until she proved herself) is going to direct her first feature, Wait Till Helen Comes, which is Not a porn film. It's a horror movie.
Mary Downing Hahn's 1986 young adult novel of the same name is adapted by Sanchez Mandryk, and is about a Baltimore family that moves into a house that was once a church. The eldest daughter comes into contact with the ghost of a young girl who might be a danger to the family.
because it's a story meant for kids, don't expect anything too crazy. I'm thinking we'll get some kind of Witch of Blackbird Pond shit, myself, which doesn't mean it has to lack suspense.
The book's official synopsis is:

Jennifer Love Hewitt is the reining queen of the kind of cheesy stuff your mom and grandma like-- CBS's The Ghost Whisperer, the LIfetime movie The Client List-- and she's not limiting her skills there just to acting. According to THR Hewitt is set to make her feature directing debut with Wait Till Helen Comes, based on the novel by Mary Downing Hahn. The story follows a 12-year-old girl and her two siblings who move into a haunted former church in rural Maryland. Amazon describes the book as appropriate for grades 4-7, though the ghost story seems to be far more intense than Casper the Friendly Ghost or other pseudo-spooky children's stories. The ghost in question is a child, yes, but a fairly malevolent one who tries to attack the youngest sister. I can't imagine Hewitt going for anything truly terrifying as a director, but it's interesting that the...

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt is gearing up to make her directorial debut, on a feature entitled Wait Till Helen Comes. The ghost story (with a slightly sniggersome title) is adapted from a novel by Mary Downing Hahn. The plot apparently revolves around a 12-year-old girl and her younger sister, who are haunted by the ghost of a young girl when they move into an old church in the Maryland countryside. Hewitt will no doubt be drawing on her Ghost Whisperer experience, and not only in terms of the spooky goings-on: she also directed a couple...

After a hook-handed, fisherman killer never forgot what she did last summer, Jennifer Love Hewitt went on to become the "Ghost Whisperer" for all the geriatrics who watch CBS. Now the actress will go from ghost whispering to telling a ghost story as Variety reports she is set to make her feature directorial debut with Wait Till Helen Comes. Written by Sanchez Mandryk and based on the novel of the same name by Mary Downing Hahn, the story focuses on a family who has recently moved to the Maryland countryside where the tormented ghost of a little girl suddenly becomes involved with the young daughters of the family.
