The Magical World of Disney: Mr. Boogedy (1986)
Season 30, Episode 11
Mr. Boogedy and Bride of Boogedy
6 December 2007
I recently ordered a copy of both movies from a retailer who sells old movies on line. I paid nearly forty dollars for the pair, only to receive TV recordings, which had been burned to DVD. Was i mad? Hell no!For twenty one years i have searched for this movie, and i don't think Disney will re-release it, because it is not very politically correct. The basic plot is that a family of pranksters moves to a town called Lucifer Falls. Their house is haunted by a three-hundred year old ghosts called MR. Boogedy, known in life as William Hanover, before he sold his soul to the devil. While alive, Hanover was in love with a woman called, the widow Marian, but she will have nothing to do with him, because he hates children, and she has a young son. He puts a curse on the property surrounding his house, to prevent Marian entering, and he kidnaps her son,and then he blows the house up with himself and the boy inside(yeah i know...some Disney film; huh?). He keeps the mother and son seporated, even after death. I do not want to get into too much detail, because there is an entire younger generation who may have not gotten to see this one, but I will say that Mr. Boogedy's makeup was scarier than Freddy Crougar's. I saw it first when I was seven, back in 1987, so I thought it would be cool to show it to my nieces and nephews. My seven year old niece was afraid to go to bed when i showed her this DVD. There is no way Disney can release this one with a G-rating.
