Episode 59 – Mr. Boogedy
We launch the month of October with a month of Halloween episodes beginning with Disney’s Mr. Boogedy! What started as a one off made for TV movie, this is both a relative unknown, and a cult classic. Both of us have fond memories of this Movie, one of us has even been been fighting for for us to cover it for almost a year…but neither of us have seen it in decades. After all this time, does it hold up to the test of time? Listen along find out!
A novelty-salesman moves his family into a new house. Initially dismissing incidents as more of their father’s practical jokes, the family soon learns that the house is haunted by people who lived in the house 300 years previously.
