Boooooooogedy!!!!!!! Boooogedy!!!!!!! Boo!!!!!!!!!

This is perhaps the best television/family movie that Walt Disney ever put out! Why is this not out on DVD! I remember seeing this when I was about 6 years old. My whole family loved it. Not only is it a great television movie, but it has a great cast as well. It Stars Richard Masur from(License to Drive)and David Faustino from (Married With Children)who went off to be quite successful Hollywood stars. The movie is quite hilarious. Do not watch the movie expecting it to be scary, because it's not. Although it may be a little spooky to some really young children but not scary enough to give them nightmares. But back to the point. If you love cheesy corny 80s movies. You must see this! The movie is about a family that buys a house for a cheap price because it is haunted. The kids hear and see strange things to try and convince their parents that the house is haunting but their parents don't believe them until it all comes to a final showdown!!! I am almost 24 years old now and I still enjoy the film very much. I own a very old copy that my father taped on television when it first aired. There was also a sequel called Mr. Boogedy's Bride that aired a year or 2 after the original. But anyway this movie is a lost gem that needs to be brought forth. I cannot wait to share it with my children some day.
