With the sequel to Mr. Boogedy, they definitely went bigger, but I don't think it's necessarily better. Bride of Boogedy gives us a broader look at the town of Lucifer Falls and its residents, and I think it's the corny acting and longer runtime that makes this story less engaging. I still enjoy watching it, but it's not the quick, fun fright the original made-for-TV Disney movie was.

I enjoyed this
rebeljenn13 November 2005
Although I don't remember much of this film to write a really good and helpful review of it, I do remember that I particularly enjoyed this film when I was younger. I probably caught it in my early teens or just before, and I watched it several times with my brothers (who are around my age). We couldn't get enough of this film.
It was not a scary film, but it was particularly comical and downright silly. It had something to do about a house that the family moved into which was haunted by 'Mr. Boogedy'. The first film was about Mr. Boogedy, and in the film, he went to get a wife. I think he choose one of the girls in the family.
The catchphrase of Mr. Boogedy was 'Boogedy Boogedy Boo!' It was a very silly film, but we really enjoyed it as children. It is just right because it was not particularly frightening, and it is a good film for older children to watch around Halloween.

Man, these Disney live action 80s movies prove that kids of that era were fully prepared to be assaulted by some of the most frightening imagery in movies that were intended not for adults.
Witness Bride of Boogedy, in which Mr. Boogedy is out for revenge and general store owner Tom Lynch (Eugene Levy!) is angry that the town of Lucifer Falls has taken to the Davis family.
Also: don't do a fake seance when a real ghost - I mean, the family has seen and battled Boogedy before, so I have no idea why no one believes the kids that he is back - is around.
Somebody, somewhere should do a week of Vincent Schiavelli - who plays a gravedigger named Lazarus in this - films. It seems as if that somebody is me.
I kind of dig that Boogedy possesses the man who was once Earl Camembert and brings an army of wax monsters to life. Sadly, they never made Son of Boogedy. I think we could definitely use a reboot of this, but I don't think the kids of today are ready to deal with him.

Awful Sequel To A Cute Movie!

I saw Mr. Boogedy on The Disney Channel and I loved that movie and than I saw this terrible remake called Bride Of Boogedy where somehow Mr. Boogedy has come back and trys to force someone to become his bride. This movie just can't compare to the first movie and the fact that Kristy Swanson is not playing Jenny and was replaced by another actress was very disappointing. Kristy was great as Jenny and it just wasn't the same without her. Now, don't get me wrong I like Tammy Lauren, I have seen her in other things and I think she was good in them but she just wasn't as good a Jenny as Kristy Swanson. And I also thought this movie was lacking of the charm of the first movie. I would'nt recommend this one!
Awesome Movie.

It's an Awesome Movie, the best part is when Boogedy shows up at a local carnival, and causes havoc, Until he see's Eloise, and He puts her under a hypnotic trance, and levitates her in the air toward him, he made her stand beside him, He vanished taken her with him.I remember seeing This When it was on The Disney Sunday Night Movie, And It was Amazing, Awesome, Funny, Great, I was on the edge of my Seat All The Way Through It, From The Start, All The Way To The Very End, God I wish That Disney Sunday Night Movie Episodes Was On Netflix, Because It'll Be Amazing, To See It On Netflix, Also When I was young, I've always wanted to go to Walt Disney World, and Meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Pluto,Goofy, etc. etc. and Go on All of those Rides, Except For The Scary Ones, I hope Someday I'll Go to Disney World, Also It Has Always Been a Childhood Dream Of Mine too.
Booger Off.

I did not particularly enjoy "Mr. Boogedy" when I watched that a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still running thought the list of the movies on Disney Plus in alphabetical order so here we are, with its sequel that is around twice as long (sigh). Incidentally I'm treating this as a movie in it's own right, as that's how it appears on Disney Plus.
Now established in the town of Lucifer Falls, the Davis family have put their encounter with William Hanover (Howard Witt) behind them. Carlton Davis (Richard Masur) has been asked to organise the town Carnival, which has put him at odds with Tom Lynch (Eugene Levy) the manager of the general store, who coveted the job. Both Davis's daughter Jennifer (Tammy Lauren) and sons Corwin (David Faustino) and R. E (Joshua Rudoy) come to believe that Mr. Boogedy is has returned, so the family organise a fake séance to confirm that he's gone, unfortunately this is not the case.
For me, the problem with this one is how (for what should be a fun family comedy horror) spectacularly boring the film is. I just could not stick with it for any length of time. It's padded quite a bit, which doesn't help - whole characters, like Eloise's brother, Elmer, played by Ray Girardin seem to exist solely for making the film longer. Elmer is involved in the films really tedious opening, as the whole family play a prank on him as he arrives. I'm afraid that I found the Davis family just as insufferable as I did in the first film. Kristy Swanson is not back for this sequel, and has been replaced by Tammy Lauren, it's still a fool's errand though to be the only normal person in a family of jerks.
Also gone, but a much bigger miss, is John Astin who has been replaced by Leonard Frey in what was his final role, although it's not exactly the same character. He didn't, for me, match up to Astin at all. Eugene Levy is in though, and makes the most of a thin character, but he's a fleeting spark fighting against waves of boredom.
I say again, this is the sort of IP that Disney should be taking another swing at, rather than live action remakes of the classics. The tone of horror comedy is a much easier needle to thread now and with better CGI and a better pace there could be something decent here.
