Disney’s “Mr. Boogedy” Available On Amazon Instant!
When I was seven, ABC aired a made-for-TV movie called “Mr. Boogedy” – and it scared the living shit out of me. Why? I could’t tell you, especially since the movie has been lost in the sands of time.
Directed by Oz Scott and written by Michael Janover, the 1987 “Mr. Boogedy” starred the great Richard Masur, as well as Mimi Kennedy, in a film where a family finds their new house is haunted by the ghost. It aired as an episode of “The Disney Sunday Movie”.
I guess it was successful enough to warrant a sequel, “Bride of Boogedy,” in which Mr. Boogedy returns, and will not stop until he get his revenge.
Anyways, I haven’t been able to hunt this movie down for quite some time and forgot about it – until Bloody regular Matthew wrote in about it popping up on Amazon Instant! Although it’s not in HD (it was probably on film), you can rent or buy it here. The sequel is also available right here.
Do you guys remember this movie? Was it scary to a small child? How is it now? I’m definitely renting it this weekend.
We are now less than one month away from the release of Lionsgate’s The Strangers: Chapter 1, the first film in a brand new reboot trilogy from director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea). It’s coming to theaters May 17, 2024.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 has officially been rated “R” this week for…
“Horror violence, language and brief drug use.”
For the sake of comparison, Bryan Bertino’s original home invasion film was rated “R” for “violence/terror,” while Prey at Night was rated “R” for “horror violence and terror throughout.”
Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”), Froy Gutierrez (Hocus Pocus 2), Rachel Shenton (The Silent Child), Ema Horvath (“Rings of Power”) and Gabe Basso (Hillbilly Elegy) star.
Based on the original 2008 cult horror franchise, the project features Petsch, who drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Gutierrez) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they’re forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers.
Here’s the full official synopsis: “After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive.”
Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea, Die Hard 2) is directing from a script by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland (The Freak Brothers, Due Date). Lionsgate will distribute worldwide.
The Strangers began in 2008 with Bryan Bertino’s original home invasion horror movie, a terrifying film that introduced three masked killers who returned 10 years later with The Strangers: Prey at Night in 2018. The first film took place in a remote house in the woods while the sequel brought the murderous Man in the Mask, Dollface and Pinup Girl into a trailer park.
