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.
