the peanut butter solution

as far as i remember the storyline goes something like this.
kids plays in a trolley in abandoned waste dump.
kid gets cancer from abandoned waste dump.
kid looses hair due to chemotherapy.
homeless man and bag lady break into his house as night.
they mix peanut butter with all this grotty shit and smear it on his head.
kid grows lots and lots of hair.
it wont stop growing.
paint brush factory businessman (cue evil music) abducts cancer-riddled, hair infested kid.
ties his up and cuts of his ever growing hair and makes paintbrushes into it.
cue classic line of move.
friends are shopping for paintbrushes in store.
"wait! isn't that <insert kids name here>'s hair??"
"OMG HE'S BEEN ABDUCTED BY A PAINTBRUSH FACTORY!"
cue rescue attempt.
cue nightmares for many years
cue the freakest fucking independent kids movie ever made.

if you saw. if you dreamt. then you are not alone.

the movie
other people scarred

i was only slightly scarred...it's been a while since i saw it

wtf?

I do not remember the cancer part. I think they were playing in an old spooky house, not a trolley.

Yeah, I don't think he had cancer. The way I remember it, his hair fell out when he got scared in a creepy house.

Holy Shit! I had repressed this memory. They showed this to us when I was in Elementary School! Tres creepy.

Yah, this is from IMDB,

Here is a synopsis someone posted there as well

I never thought this movie was too weird. I watched it a lot when I was little. The really weird 80's movie is called, "Something Special".

I own it. The kid was so scared by the what he saw in the house that his hair fell out. how did you come up with the cancer part?
