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.

A Comedy...well...sort of...

MOON PILOT-1962 -Seems like Walt Disney wanted to make a more adult stupid comedy and this disaster is the result. After volunteering (by getting stuck in the ass by a fork wielding monkey) to be the first man in the moon, army-astronaut (Tom Tryon, who wisely gave up acting to become a best selling author) wants to see his mom before he gets shot into space by his blustering, loud mouth superior (Brian Keith). He meets up with a telepathic alien (Dany Salvin) and falls in love. Edmund O’Brien plays a government agent assigned to protect Tryon. It’s all screwed up nonsense featuring Kent Smith, Tommy Kirk, Bert Remsen and in uncredited roles, Nancy Kulp, Bob Hastings and William Hudson. Director James Neilson made other features (including SCARECROW) but worked mainly in TV.
