Bonus: Bride of Boogedy & a little bit of Mr. Boogedy (w/ Meghan and Lyle)
What's up, dudes? The Davis family survived one haunted house, so naturally they stuck around Lucifer Falls for round two, and Mr. Boogedy is back from the great beyond looking for a plus-one! We already covered "Mr. Boogedy" over on The Halloween Podcast, so it's time to finish the job with the 1987 Disney Sunday Movie sequel. I've got Lyle and Meghan from The Halloween Podcast with me to talk all about it!
A year after the vacuum-cleaner exorcism, Carlton is basically Lucifer Falls royalty: he's running the Lucyfest carnival and opening Gag City in an old wax museum (the last owner left the horror figures behind, totally normal, nothing to see here). Grumpy general store guy Tom Lynch (Eugene Levy) hates him, because two whole tables of gag gifts are at stake. Then Jennifer hears a voice in the woods wail "Get out of my house!", a fortune teller says Boogedy is coming, and the boys share a nightmare about a glowing key and a statue that comes to life. Mom and Dad's response? A fake séance! That goes great, and soon Dad is levitating, zombie-walking, and swiping a dead widow's dress for his wife. The cure: Uncle Elmer in a gorilla suit, because apparently you can laugh a demon right out of your body. Then the cloak lands on Lynch, the wax monsters crash the carnival, and Boogedy finally shows up in person to grab himself a bride, complete with Bride of Frankenstein hair. "Boogedy, Boogedy, Boo!" "Just kidding!" (Repeat roughly 25 times.) Cast trivia: Kristy Swanson and Benji Gregory were swapped out for Tammy Lauren (later of "Wishmaster") and Joshua Rudoy, so R.E. went from living with ALF to living with Bigfoot from "Harry and the Hendersons." John Astin was out and Fiddler on the Roof's Leonard Frey was in as Walter Witherspoon. Vincent Schiavelli plays a gravedigger named Lazarus, and David Faustino's "Married… with Children" premiered just one week before this aired!
Possessed dad? Check. Killer wax werewolf? Yep. Ghost wedding with a guy in a pilgrim hat? You'd better believe it! So grab your magic cloak, put on a gorilla suit, and speak into a phone for this episode on “Bride of Boogedy!”
