Someone tell me what movie this is...

Okay, so there are a few things that reminded me of this tonight (not least among which are the new boogeyman movie coming out and the "Boogieman Cometh" episode of the Real Ghostbusters that I just watched), but it's basically been haunting me for the last few years. I remember this movie from my childhood that had a boogieman character in it, and he was this big old guy that was dressed like a thanksgiving pilgrim that had a white glow surrounding him. I can't for the life of me remember what movie it was, or who was in it, or even more of the plot synopsis. But, if there's anyone out there that might be able to help me figure out what movie that was, I would be eternally grateful and indebted to you in some way shape or form. Thanks ahead of time.

the old guy sound a little like the tall man from phantasm.

Was there a fat man with a black moustache in a red suit also?

Yes, I am being serious.

i saw that movie when i was little, but forgot about it till now......damn that was scary. for some reason i want to say it was just called "the boogeyman" it was on the disney channel or something when i saw it.

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. My brother and I used to watch this all the time. It was on the Disney Channel or maybe Nickelodeon. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a real studio release movie. And I have no idea what it was called. But you are not alone.

thats what it sounded like to me too. I loved phantasm it was one of my favorite horror movies when i was younger.

Mr. Boogedy?

AHHH! I think that's it!

it definitely wasn't phantasm (though that's an awesome movie), and it was definitely on the disney channel or something like that. i'm so happy to hear i'm not out of my gourd. it very well might be mr. boogedy. i'm gonna do some research.

edited to say: the timing is right...i think that might be it.

it's official... that's totally the movie i was thinking of. now to just buy a bootlegged copy off of ebay.

thats TOTALY it. i looked it up and they even made "Bride of Boogety". and one of the child stars was the kid who played Bud Bundy.

also, while on the topic of obscure disney movies does anyone remember Flight of the Navigator? i want to see this again, but cant find it anywhere...

oh fuck yeah.

dude flight of the navigator was awesome. my girlfriend's brother has it on dvd. did you know that pee wee did the voice of max? and on a completely different note, does anyone remember flight of dragons? i almost bought a bootleg dvd of it at chiller over the weekend but opted to pick up real ghostbusters, monster squad, and clone high instead.

Yeah, that's it for sure. Thanks, I had almost forgotten it... Now the nightmares start again.

I saw Flight of the Navigator at Walmart on DVD just before Christmas, along with a re-release of TRON.
