    I have never seen it myself Jon, but my husband has told me about it for years and then a facebook fan asked us to review it a few months ago as a review request, so it’s kind of cool that you randomly tossed this up on your feature!

  2. That is the weirdest sounding movie ever. Of course it had to be Canadian, we are some twisted sons a bitches up here. We especially enjoy kidnapping kids to work in sweatshops! I kinda have an interest to watch this now. Someone let Goregirl know that she’s missing out on some good horror labeled as funny kids movie!

    I actually saw this not once but twice as a kid, on HBO I think. I don’t know why but parts of this scared the crap out of me. Since then I’ve only met one other person in my life who has seen this…now that number goes to 2. We are a rare breed indeed:P

    random side note on drugs:

    I just heard that LSD from Arcadia, CA is making high school boys pull off their wing wangs —- perhaps the peanut butter solution will work for them.

  5. What the hell is this? That being said it sounds delicious…I have to say as someone who already loathes peanut butter that recipe doesn’t exactly make me want to see it again.

    I remember this movie as a kid. I remember it being scary, with fondness. I loved the ghosts, the comedy of the hair and the magical paintbrushes. I also remember being scared that there were “bad” people out there, it made me understand what being kidnapped would be like. I have been wanting to buy it to share with my kids, but now I am wondering if they could handle it. They are 10, 8 and 3. Probably not, it would be rated PG-13 in today’s world. Well, maybe in a few years…!

    Dude, this thing was the creepiest…..I rented this from a library when I was 4, because it was a “childrens” movie. I couldn’t remember the name for years, but all I remembered of it was that some kid lost his hair, and grew it back with peanut butter..oh yeah, AND IT SCARED THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME. I’m actually pretty creeped out right now.

    I can’t believe someone other than myself and my little brother saw this movie. For whatever reason my brother absolutely loved this insane film. I just remember having nightmares. I tried to explain the plot to my husband but he just looked at me funny.I just want to know who in the hell read this script and thought ” this sucker’s gonna make us rich I tell you, rich!” Apparently if you were interested in viewing this gem of a movie nowadays, you would have to own a VHS player. You can’t even get it on DVD. What a shame.

    I have seen this movie! I was 5 or 6 years old the first time I watched it. I asked my younger sister if she remembered it too, but she only remembered little bits of the movie. Do you remember the part when Connie put the solution “down there”? haha! I too was scared with this movie…but I loved scary movies and still do to this day! I’m glad to see that there ARE others who have also remembered this movie.
