Scary Disney


MR. BOOGEDY-1986-A man who sells gags for a living (Richard Masur) moves his wife (Mimi Kennedy) and two kids (David Faustino and Kristy Swanson) into a haunted house. He doesn't think anything is wrong but the kids get the lowdown from a weird local historian (John Astin). It seems hundreds of years before a pilgrim wanted to marry a young widow but she spurned his advances so he made a deal with the devil and sold his soul for a cloak with magical powers. But on creating his first spell he killed himself, the widow and her son. Later when Mr. Boogedy terrorizes the family they use a vacuum cleaner to destroy him. 

Lame made for TV Disney movie directed by Oz Scott, a busy TV director still active at the time of this writing.  

Thanks for reading.
