Mr. Boogedy

Movie Summary

Released: 1986
When the Davis family moves to Lucifer falls, they quickly learn that their less-than-humble abode harbors a ghost. Several hundred years earlier, Mr. Boogedy, as he came to be known, sold his soul for a magic cloak, that he'd hoped would win him the affection of widow Marion. When his scheme failed, he kidnapped Marion's son, Jonathan, returned to his home, and accidentally blew it up. Now he and Jonathan are trapped in the home that was built on the site, and it's up to the Davis's to remove his magic cloak to banish him forever and return Jonathan to Marion.

Originally aired on NBC's "The Wonderful World of Disney," this hourlong film doubled as the pilot for a TV series. A series never materialized, but it was popular enough to spawn 1987's full-blown, effects-heavy TV sequel, "Bride of Boogedy."

I just hope that Disney will release this on DVD. This would be great for Halloween.

Man, I want an official dvd of this and the sequel! I don't think I have seen this movie since about 1987 or so. I can still remember watching it on the ABC's Disney Sunday Night Movie. It's funny how this and Bride of Boogedy are THE Disney Sunday NIght movies that people most remember from the 80s.
