Hi everyone,
I had the most random connection over lunch yesterday with a friend from work. turns out we've both seen this horrible movie called
The Worst Witch. The Worst Witch is a
really bad movie made in 1986 about a girl who goes to a boarding school for witches and is really bad at it. The special effects are terrible and it's really quite trippy (especially this funky scene with tim curry). AND i happen to own this wacked out piece of film history. (don't worry it was only $9.99) Who would have thought there were other people in the world who would have seen this movie.
So today we were talking about the movie again and i mentioned this other really bad movie from my childhood called
The Peanut Butter Solution. Now the other movie was really bad. this movie was bad and creepy!!! what's even funnier is that on the message board at imdb.com there seems to be a common theme to everyone who posted. something along the lines of "i saw this movie when i was a kid and it scared the shit out of me." i happen to have this one on vhs from back in the day. It came out in 1985. weird ass canadian crap!! i have to include the synopsis this girl put on the message board. it describes the movie perfectly...
...The story follows a kid who gave some money to this whino the day before he was burned to death in a fire. The boy is curious and goes into the burnt house and is severely scared by a ghost and as a result of fright, his hair falls out. During the night the ghosts come and give him a recipe to grow more hair, it works...too well. The hair doesn't stop growing...(funny side note that we probably didn't get because were too young was that his little freind asks to borrow the solution for "down there!" and spends half the movie walking around with hair growing out of his pants.) So for some odd plot twist the kids art teacher kidnaps him and all his freinds and uses the boys hair to make magic paintbrushes that turn whatever you paint into reality. The boys freind who is also kidnaped, cons the man into painting the old burned house and going inside. The art teacher does , becomes scared and all his hair falls out. Then the boy goes into the house, confronts the ghosts and his hair stops growing, the cops come and save the kids from the art teacher. Really weird movie.I wouldnt recommend seeing this movie shortly before bedtime. but might be fun with a pitcher of rum drinks and some friends. if any of you out there have seen either of these movies i would love to hear your options and feedback.
OMG I didn't think anyone else had ever seen the movie The Peanut Butter Solution. I've asked my husband and even he hasn't seen it. He thinks its some movie I made up in my head from a dream. And yes, that scared the crap out of me.
I've never seen either of them! I guess I was too busy watching Karate Kid! :)
I read you frequently, Paula. Sorry I don't comment more!! :)
