I found it way scarier that they banned it because I just had this vague memory of a terrifying Boogeyman movie that no one knew what I was talking about, so I thought I imagined it😭 the irony
Even before they banned this on Disney channel, they still aired it very infrequently. I remember thinking it was a fever dream because I caught it in TV once and never saw it again, looking out for it every year.
@@TheW.C It's true, Disney is afraid of the power that one video release holds. Boogeypeople sounds too pedestrian for my taste, I'm gonna go with "the boogies".
Dont Look Under the Bed was such a prominant part of my childhood. No one ever remembered it and it killed me inside because it terrified me as a kid but i still look back at it fondly.
This movie scared me to bits, but i had never even considered they would ban it. Crybaby Lane on Nick getting banned was gaslighting my child's brain when i didnt have internet access. For years no one would confirm for me that it was real. Between the two if them, my nightmares were RICH.
Don't Look Under The Bed remains my favorite to this day. As an adult, I love it even more. It's a coming-of-age story about growing up too fast, and how an early loss of innocence affects kids. I know, dark. But I love that Disney channel wasn't afraid to "go there". You can tell Francis uses logic/reasoning to explain away as much as she can, but it's a defense mechanism against the trauma of her little brother having cancer and her, as his older sister, not being able to save him. She felt defenseless over something so illogical and random. And the Boogeyman just represents that fear that sometimes, what you're fighting against is illogical and random. But the moral of the story is that it's not enough to be smart (enough to skip a grade). You have to be brave, too. Don't look for "a logical explanation". Just fight like hell.
Fun fact about this movie, that kiss at the end was really worrisome for the Disney exces. They were worried about an inter-racial kiss between the two leads. The part of Larry originally wasn't "written as black," so there were no problems until Ty Hodges was cast. The exces wanted different versions of the kiss filmed to see which one would be the safest.
@@pisces2569 America is a lot more racist than many realize lol. Also the execs were probably alive during segregation so projecting their racism to the entire population is also 100% a possibility Edit: just looked it up and yeah while interracial marriage was federally legalized in the 60s many states held out much longer. The final state to legalize it was Alabama in 2000 so yeah it was definitely still an issue for people
This and Can of Worms are the two biggest fever dreams I remember as a kid. I think I only ever remember seeing both once but they definitely left an impression on 5 year old me.
I just realized the porcelain doll is wearing almost exactly the same outfit as the girl boogeyman is once she turns back normal . Wow it took this long to notice. From my understanding francis’ imaginary friend was based on that doll, and her brother darwin’s was based on his little cowboy thing beside his table.
I talk about this movie religiously. This and the Color of Friendship are most underrated DCOM movies and so well done, you almost forget theyre DCOMs. Still watch DLUTB every year for Halloween
Oh my gosh, I LOVED the Color of Friendship. Beautiful movie. And DLUTB will always be one of my favorites and one of the first movies to really make me feel seen as a child.
i remember enjoying this movie so much that my brain disconnected it from disney for more than a decade until only 2-3 years ago when it was part of a list of iconic dcom movies. it was just such a thrill watch for little me that i couldn't believe the mouse had anything to do with it 💀
This was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid. Plus, it had depth, it was a great story, and it symbolized how if you don't process and deal with fear as a child, then it will deal with you when you grow up.
The fact it was banned just solidifies my idea Disney should make an adults-only studio for all of their content that's too dark for children. Like the original scripts for The Lion King and Zootopia.
Truly this movie was like a fever dream... I get random flashbacks of it when something else reminds me of it, but I've never heard of anyone talk about it again until today!! It literally felt like a mandela effect before now, bc i wasnt sure if it was actually real. The main thing i remember is the crippling fear of something/someone being under my bed and grabbing me at night. Thank you for relieving the feeling of being unsure if it happened but also watching this gave me the heeb jeebs all over again 😂😭👀
I remember watching it ONCE EVER probably around 8 years old, loving it but being terrified by it, and never ever seeing it again. Not even mentioned or referenced by anyone or anything ever again. Truly a fever dream.
This movie scared the living s*it outta me as a 4 year old in the early 2000’s. The boogeyman was such a crime against fashion and needed to be stopped.
If you are an OG Disney Channel fan, you know in this era they rarely ever released anything on video or DVD and I'm fairly sure it did air every October for years. As far as banned Disney content, I would say its Under Wraps, they did a remake recently but that one isn't even on D+.
Underage wraps was a favorite. I looked forward to it every year. I want my kids to be able to watch the original and not the stupid remake. D+ won't run it.
LOVED this movie as a kid. Way better than stuff like Halloweentown or Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire. It was nice to see a kid's horror movie that actually acted like a horror movie.
Not a TV movie but i feel this way about Monster House. Yea it’s silly and goofy, but it deals with some pretty intense themes and the horror is quite good for a kids movie
Glad you enjoyed but we don’t need that Halloweentown slander. Those movies were good in their own way that was different than this. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my moms got a date with a vampire so idk if I still think it’s good or not but I remember enjoying it as a kid.
You unlocked a memorie that I didn't even know I locked away until you showed the commercial they showed for promo! I love how you brought back my love for this kinda stuff.
Watcher in the Woods scared the sh!t out of little me! But I loved it.. I also loved Don't Look Under The Bed and didn't realize it was "banned", I just thought I kept missing it every year.
Lookie here, I LOVED Don't Look Under the Bed growing up. It was so scary good lol, and I was mad when it got banned from the network! I missed watching it every October.
I was in kindergarten when it came out and I remember loving it. We recorded it and my siblings and I watched that movie regularly throughout our childhood. I had no clue it was even banned until a couple years ago because I watched it so much on VHS. It is still one of my favorite Disney Original Movies.
This movie goes HARD!!! Larry was literally one of my first crushes ever 🥵 The movie that was scary to me was “The Scream Team”. That movie was hella freaky.
@@jordysyoutubechannel I think it was the color palette that did it for me, so gloomy and dreary and the villain was kinda hot but he was serving evil realness
I vaguely remember being really creeped out by the movie as a kid, never knew it was banned 😭 I ended up watching it about 10 years ago when I was 18, likely around Halloween time and while it was definitely creepy, I ended up ugly crying when Frances had to let her imaginary friend go because it reminded me I was growing up which is way scarier than the boogeyman honestly 😭
Makes sense now. I LOVED that movie. I was pissed when they stopped playing it. I will say the seen where Larry realizes Francis is the reason her brother can’t see him. Scared me as a kid. Because I liked Larry and to see his eyes go bright purplish green and his voice go all evil saying “you did it” will forever be in my brain 😂😅 I Also had an imaginary friend and definitely kept believing for A while 😂
This has always been my favorite Disney Channel original since it released but I never once realized that it was ever 'banned' in any way cause I recorded it on a VHS by the 2nd or 3rd time it aired - I'm at least glad that they have it on Disney+ now tho cause that VHS tape is LONG dead but my little ones adored the movie when I showed it to them! edit: I will admit and own up that in my teenage years I definitely was in the camp of 'anyone scared of this movie is a little b*tch' but as an adult I have the self awareness to realize that my judgement of scary is greatly skewed by the fact that I was falling asleep to Child's Play at the age of 3
Oh man, I miss the era of VHS tape recordings. Lol I did the same thing with Return to Oz and so many other movies and TV shows. I had similar experience and saw A Nightmare on Elm Street and Child's Play when I was roughly 5 years old so.. I feel ya.
I was born in ‘97. I watch Don’t Look Under the Bed every October. It’s iconic IMO. I watched movies like Saw and Chucky and Nightmare on Elm St as a child because my sisters always watched scarier stuff. I love horror movies now and am so glad I got to witness the Disney channel before it became censored so heavily. ❤
Oh my god, I saw this movie once YEARS ago, must have been 2006, because I loved it and waited for it every year after that, but never saw it again. Eventually I forgot about it; now I’m 25, and you have just unlocked all the memories holy crap. I clicked this video on a whim and I’m so glad I did
8:13 omggg!! He just brought back my memory of this movie!! I don’t remember how I was able to watch it because my mom literally band Disney around Halloween
For a second i was very confused that you said it was banned because I had a vivid memory of watching this when they were doing their 100 DCOMs celebration in 2016 when the Adventures in Babysitting movie came out and they were having the marathon of playing all the dcoms. Now i was 12 at the time so I wasn't petrified of it but i do remember it being really weird and very different for a disney movie. I think i stopped watching at some point because of how weirdly scary it was. But yeah I KNOW they played it during that marathon since it would have been part of the 100 dcoms so its interesting that they pulled it out of the vault of shame only because they HAD to stick to playing all 100 dcoms
I don't ever remember being afraid of this movie when I was a kid, but I was also watching movies like "Signs", "Jeepers Creepers", and "IT" without getting too scared somehow. I loved "Don't Look Under The Bed" and luckily, my mom had it taped. So as a result, I never knew it was banned! Crazy.
i loved this movie growing up. im a sucker for good lore and fun twists and this film showing a good mythos on imaginary friends and a connection to the boogeymen. and saying "hey, its ok to not be ok with growing up to quickly before your ready."
“Boogyperson” 😂😂 I do remember being scared of the boogyworld scenes but that kiss at the end!? I lived for it. Larry was probably one of my first tv crushes. 😍😍 I’m glad it’s on Disney+. I want it every October. But why isn’t underwraps, the first one on there. I loved that movie.
I saw Don't Look Under the Bed on the Disney Channel when it first came out when I was a kid and I loved it. My kids and I recently found it on Disney+, I think last year actually, and they loved it too. I never knew it was a banned one that they tried to sweep under the rug. So sad that they did things like that, just like Return to Oz, another movie that I love that was kind of terrifying. I showed my husband and our oldest child that movie a few years ago and they were intrigued by it. The Black Cauldron was another one they did that to, and I've been trying to hunt down The Watcher in the Woods and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Also I kept wondering why The Nightmare Before Christmas was all of a sudden a Disney owned thing because when it released when I was a kid it was not advertised that way. I did some research and found out that Touchstone Pictures was actually a part of Disney which completely blew my mind to find out these were always Disney characters all my life and I never knew! I hope Disney continues to embrace their darker moments because they are some of my absolute favorites and have clearly proven that people love them. 🖤
They originally released it under Touchstone because they thought it might be too scary. They then re-released it a few years later directly under Disney.
I have to totally agree when you say “before the foreboding cringe”. Nowadays so many people call things cringe that just really aren’t and get upset over basically nothing
How did I know this was going to be about Don't Look Under the Bed 😂 For a Disney film, they didn't need to go that hard with the horror 😳 Thanks for reminding me of that trauma aha
i honestly don’t ever remember watching this movie as a kid, but i’ve always had a very irrational fear to porcelain dolls and still to this day sleep w the covers over my head and it makes me wonder…. i would’ve been 3-6 years old when it came out
I saw this for the first time a couple years ago, in my early 20s. I woke up randomly at 3 am or something, saw it on, and was scared. But I definitely appreciate the movie and that era of Disney. They don't make em like that anymore. Also, Larry was cute and I loved his iconic shades. I watched mom's got a date with a vampire on Halloween and I recognized so many of the actors, and how they went on to other works, some of which were supernatural. Like that movie had Aunt Hilda from Sabrina and the sister plays the female werewolf in the Bitten series. Or Raven's love interest in the first Cheetah Girls movie went on to play the very handsome vampire in Blood Ties.
I loved this movie! Always felt like a "spookier" Drop Dead Fred. But I'd also seen The Shining and It by the time this came out so comparatively it was pretty tame.
Thank you for immediately setting the record straight on the Halloweentown controversy/Marniegate. We’ve all been saying it for years, but thank you for giving us a voice
I remember watching this movie as a kid and don't remember being scared by it. I actually thought it looked pretty cool for an original Disney Channel movie, and thought it was a little less cheesy than the channel's usual movies. However, that fear was instead overshadowed by a 10 minute stop-motion film called the The Sandman. I can't remember what network it aired on and have never seen it on TV after that day, but it left me sitting at the kitchen table petrified to move from under the ceiling light at four in the afternoon.
I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE AS LIKE A 6 YEAR OLD?! I vividly remembered the line "Clap if you think think this real!" TO HER BROTHER to prove he stilled believed in his imagery friend And everytime I tried to explain this movie to other ppl they look at me like "Thats not a real movie. You dreamt it." Or "Sweetie are you trying to tell us you no longer have your imagery friends? Its okay, everyone out grows them, but their not a boogieman." Like NO, that wasnt what I was saying but every Halloween I stalked the channel for the movie but the movie never came back on so I just stayed looking looking like a crazy person when my family would do the gatherings and looking back on memories going "Remember the fall she tried to tell us a movie was the reason she stopped believing in her imagery friends?" Im 28 bow and still get told "Remember when you was 6, oh you probably don't, but that Halloween you got so scared of the boogeyman. Your tried to say it was your imagery friends turning into them. I tried to tell you it just you growing up but you wake up screaming about it." Like no I vividly remember that and no IT WAS STILL A MOVIE DAD! I JUST KNOW THE NAME OF IT NOW FINALLY!
My sister and i loved this movie despite it scaring me deeply. I still watch it whenever i can. I love the atmosphere and set design. I also love that they show her dad doing most of the house work because he likes doing it
I loved this movie! My grandma’s middle name was Francis so I thought that was cool. Larry was also my favorite character. I didn’t realize it was ever banned. It’s actually one of the few Disney movies I really remembered.
Jordy I am playing Tetris with all the furniture in my room right so they can paint our apartment. I am so stressed and literally your video is grounding me, bringing me joy and happiness, and helping align my heart chakra. Thank you!! Will comment AGAIN cuz ur work deserves that, when I’ve finished the video
Odd that “Don’t Look Under The Bed” was removed from the cue because it was too terrifying yet the opening scene of “Under Wraps” of Marshall watching a horror movie that included a knife swishing in garbage disposal and the villain busting threw the window at that opportune time, was seen as less terrifying. Anytime I accidentally drop something down the garbage disposal that scene flashes through my mind…
this movie also scared the shit out of me,, for years I too would hide under the covers except after 30 seconds I'd struggle to breath and need to work up the courage to come out from under the covers and accept my fate of being dragged down to the boogyworld 😭
So that’s where they got that simpsons episode from where bart had an evil conjoined twin. Well, until they figured out obviously that Bart was the evil one.
I’ve always loved how Nickelodeon and the Disney channel was able to make horror movies and tv shows for kids and actually make them scary the scary stuff was always my fav things about these networks
To answer your question of how people watched it after Disney stopped airing it. I vaguely remember a 240p bootleg floating around on youtube. Also though I haven't found any sources to back this up, (as many early dcoms are notoriously hard to find info on when it comes to home video releases), I believe it was released on VHS through the Disney movie club, or Wonderful World of DIsney. I could also swear remembering a DVD release but my brain could be making that up.
If you had Xfinity On Demand, each October it would be (and still is) available to watch for free in the Disney section. They only ever made it available during October though. And believe me, I watch it every year.
That's actually really interesting! Like I said info on this movies distribution is hard to find, so it's pretty cool learning the different ways people were able to watch it, legally and otherwise.@@ElizabethMidfordHatesCops
I’m pretty sure it got licensed to play on the Canadian kids channel YTV, because I remember it playing there all the time during the Halloween season.. way past the date it originally aired. Funny enough it never played on the “Canadian Disney channel” called Family channel which licensed every other Disney channel property to play. I’d bet lots of people who’ve said they watched it probably saw it there, not realizing it was only Canadian.
Fascinating. Between the bright red lips, claws, sharp teeth, dark hair and pointed ears, this boogeyman reminds me a lot of the the design of the boogeyman from the real Ghostbusters cartoon in the 80s. On checking, that one even had a somewhat Victorian-looking coat.
BRO THANK YOU SM for making this!!! I’ve been trying to figure out what this movie was for forever!!! I also got scared of my dolls and put them in my closet, and I loved the imaginary friend, and I slept with my blankets over my head for years too 🥲 you have brought me peace with this vid.
Ive never seen your channel before tonight and I just got recommended your video on Tinkerbell and loved it, definitely agreed with all of it and thought you were really funny and resonated with your take on things, so then I watched the Preminger vid next and it was hilarious so I just went back to find something else you’ve made and you posted a brand new video??! It’s like this was meant to be girl 😂 (and thank you for including the power point on Preminger because it was a 10/10 read)
I saw the title of the video and instantly knew what you were talking about. I remember watching this LESS THAN HALFWAY and crying because I was so scared 😭
Dude I’m getting so sick of movies being banned and blacklisted. Like… I keep thinking I’m insane because I remember all these awesome movies… but no one knows what I’m talking about.
Don’t look under the bed still haunts me in my 21 yr old self today. It was the Halloween movie on Disney that actually was horror. Nick has done creepy horror stuff like Are you Afraid of the Dark but I wasn’t part of the generation that had the old show but grew up with the three recent Are You Afraid of the Dark series. And the only one I found that was scary to me was the second Are You Afraid of the Dark because of the darkness.
I’m 37 and grew up with the original Are You Afraid Of The Dark; I loved that show and Snick (Saturday night Nick) in general! I can’t remember if I ever saw Don’t Look Under The Bed (I’ve seen most DCOMs but not all), however I don’t think it would be any worse than the original AYAOTD.
My 10 years of sleep trauma started in the videogame phantasmagoria. It was one if those ones with real footage of people (fmv) and the main character lays down in a bed in the haunted house she lives in and all these hands come out of the bad and like grab on to her. Fucked me up for a long time
Don’t Look Under the Bed needs an R rated remake 😅🩸 also, amazing vid!! the mountain dew moment made me laugh out loud. subscribed and can’t wait for more!!
Oh my gosh!! I knew you were going to say that movie! It terrified me as a kid to the point that even to this day, almost being 26, I can’t hang my legs over my bed.
I remember this movie from when I was a kid it creeped me out a little and I watched it again in 6th grade and I loved it,They should've aired this movie on Disney Channel last month in October for Halloween for old times sake and put a warning at the beginning.
Don't Look Under the Bed was my favorite movie, but it TERRIFIED me. In the 2010s, I found it in a million parts on RUclips and rewatched it a few times. When I got Disney+, it was my first watch. I was a dcom kid, but this is my favorite, handsdown, and this is a Halloween tradition watch for me now as an adult.
Don't Look Under the Bed never bothered me. I enjoyed it and still watch this every year. One of my favorites next to Stepsister from Planet Weird, Zenon, and Under Wraps, Brink, and Halloweentown 1 & 2!
Just found your channel because of this video and I remember this movie I loved it but I’ll say I watched this movie when it first came out and it scared the crap out of me and took me a couple years before I could work up the courage to watch it all the way thru again (after the first time when it scared me so much I didn’t want to watch after the halfway point when it got scary) leading me to love this movie and never knew it was banned after 2003 just a few years after I worked up the courage to watch it all the way thru finally this movie was great and probably why I hate freak out and actively avoid anyone with those long fake nails wow thanks for the help making that connection definitely subscribing now
I remembered loving this movie because of the creepiness and weirdness of it. I always wondered why I never seen it again on TV. I was actually kind of happy to see that it was on Disney+. Although...why do we not have Suzie Q on Disney+? Loved that movie!
Am I remembering something that didn’t happen or when they were under the bed was there like a “honey I shrunk the kids” type effect where they had a bunch of really big props? Because I vaguely remember that being a really cool thing in this movie.
It wasn't banned. They aired it multiple times and it's on Disney+ now. Also it's on RUclips. Definitely not a forgotten treasure! Still a treasure! As kids we LOVED being scared so it was perfect and the mythology was oddly logical.
Yeah I saw it many times on Disney Channel in like 2008-10. I was only 3 when it came out, so it was a late discovery for me! Maybe it was banned for a really short period of time? I don’t know. Didn’t stay banned, because I watched it \_(•_•)_/
@@Rachel-xg7hs i’m so glad to see others saying it wasn’t banned. the movie came out in 1999 and i definitely remember watching it every October through my elementary school years at least. It’s been on disney plus ever since it launched. I think people are thinking that it was banned just because it wasn’t being shown regularly after a certain point - which a lot of the zoog disney era shows and movies started getting pulled from regular rotation for a period of time.
Don't Look Under the Bed was my favorite. The lead-up to the premiere? I had waited. Anticipated. It was October 19th, 1999. And I watched it every replay. Was it scary? Well... only a little at first. Then I loved the concept of a world of imaginary characters. While some claim that the movie was "scary", those complaints weren't entirely made in honesty. Some were about Larry and Francis being a potential couple being "too scary for children to handle". And... this was 1999. All of my life I had believed that it was just that the movie was scary but a lot of adults decided teenagers (including an imaginary friend teenager talking to a guy in his head) being an interracial couple was the true source of their fear. If anything, this event was what really ruined my childhood. This right here. Reading those complaints.
Personally I have always been creeped out by porcelain dolls ( my sister had several ). Much like clowns, there is a reason that they so easily fall into being used in the horror genre.
dont look under the bed was my fav one and after having watched it every year id try to watch it and it just seemed like it never happened it wasnt until years later i found out they just didnt show it anymore T.T
I actually remember watching this movie as a kid! I forgot that it existed until now 😂 I do remember the dolls wigging me out and I had to put the one I had away but the rest of the movie was fine
Ive never watched this movie- but I used to be TERRIFIED of another movie- The Dark Crystal 🥺 Still havent watched it despite the fact that I LOVE puppets
Okay was hoping for the nightmare fuel to be overflowing!! I haven’t seen this movie maybe now that it’s November I get caught up LOLZ I’m just weird and quirky like that
I was always the weird one of my classmates and many kids my age... When "Nightmare Before Christmas" came out I was 4 years old. Didn't get any nightmares from it. When "Don't look under the bed came out" when I was 10, it didn't terrify me either. Honestly I was giggling so hard at the part when he said "can't you feel the wind through your hair." Guess maybe I was just desensitized due to my dad's dark paintings growing up (rest easy dad love you and you're a big reason why I love Halloween).
I found it way scarier that they banned it because I just had this vague memory of a terrifying Boogeyman movie that no one knew what I was talking about, so I thought I imagined it😭 the irony
you are valid now
Dude me too! I’ve tried to tell people about it and they didn’t know what I was talking about! I’m so relieved. Also want to watch this again now.
Same!!!!!!!
me too
i almost thought i hallucinated it
NO ME TOO And it wad definitely this movie and after 2006. I was born in 2003 and I know for a fact that I saw it after I was 7
Even before they banned this on Disney channel, they still aired it very infrequently. I remember thinking it was a fever dream because I caught it in TV once and never saw it again, looking out for it every year.
It is currently available to watch on Disney+.

They're both on Disney+ though:)
Can of Worms still holds up. Honestly all of the Disney movies from that time still hold up.
I just realized the porcelain doll is wearing almost exactly the same outfit as the girl boogeyman is once she turns back normal . Wow it took this long to notice. From my understanding francis’ imaginary friend was based on that doll, and her brother darwin’s was based on his little cowboy thing beside his table.

It literally felt like a mandela effect before now, bc i wasnt sure if it was actually real. The main thing i remember is the crippling fear of something/someone being under my bed and grabbing me at night. Thank you for relieving the feeling of being unsure if it happened but also watching this gave me the heeb jeebs all over again 😂😭👀
I remember watching it ONCE EVER probably around 8 years old, loving it but being terrified by it, and never ever seeing it again. Not even mentioned or referenced by anyone or anything ever again. Truly a fever dream.
it really is something you watch once and call it
Me too!! Omg!!
This is literally my favorite Disney channel origin movie, it's so inventive and well-made to be honest.
This movie scared the living s*it outta me as a 4 year old in the early 2000’s. The boogeyman was such a crime against fashion and needed to be stopped.
LOL
Under Wraps was scarier imo
If you are an OG Disney Channel fan, you know in this era they rarely ever released anything on video or DVD and I'm fairly sure it did air every October for years. As far as banned Disney content, I would say its Under Wraps, they did a remake recently but that one isn't even on D+.
the new under wraps is so offensive
Exactly, they were "made for TV" movies. Disney wasn't the only company that did this either.
Underage wraps was a favorite. I looked forward to it every year. I want my kids to be able to watch the original and not the stupid remake. D+ won't run it.
LOVED this movie as a kid. Way better than stuff like Halloweentown or Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire. It was nice to see a kid's horror movie that actually acted like a horror movie.
Same, but i also loved Are You Afraid of the Dark. As a kiddo, it was all about scary concepts for me, not necissarily the execution of said concept.
Not a TV movie but i feel this way about Monster House. Yea it’s silly and goofy, but it deals with some pretty intense themes and the horror is quite good for a kids movie
@@teresitaperegrina3741 Ooooooh, I forgot all about monster house! I love that movie.
Glad you enjoyed but we don’t need that Halloweentown slander. Those movies were good in their own way that was different than this. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my moms got a date with a vampire so idk if I still think it’s good or not but I remember enjoying it as a kid.
excuse me halloweentown is amazing and wonderful, you can like this movie without putting down such a well loved movie !!
You unlocked a memorie that I didn't even know I locked away until you showed the commercial they showed for promo! I love how you brought back my love for this kinda stuff.
The Watcher in the Woods from 1980 was Disney’s first horror for younger audiences. Creeped me the hell out as a kid.
The fact that movie isn't on Disney+ is a crime.
Watcher in the Woods scared the sh!t out of little me! But I loved it.. I also loved Don't Look Under The Bed and didn't realize it was "banned", I just thought I kept missing it every year.
NERAK
And not only is it not on Disney+, it's only on Amazon and they've age restricted it so it's not allowed on child profiles.
YAAAAAASSSSSSS
Lookie here, I LOVED Don't Look Under the Bed growing up. It was so scary good lol, and I was mad when it got banned from the network! I missed watching it every October.
im sorry we were on different sides of dont look under the bed lore, glad we are here together now
I was in kindergarten when it came out and I remember loving it. We recorded it and my siblings and I watched that movie regularly throughout our childhood. I had no clue it was even banned until a couple years ago because I watched it so much on VHS.
It is still one of my favorite Disney Original Movies.
What I want to know is why the scream team and the original under wraps was no longer shown on Disney channel as well!
This movie goes HARD!!! Larry was literally one of my first crushes ever 🥵
The movie that was scary to me was “The Scream Team”. That movie was hella freaky.
omg i need to check that one out
Me tooooo!
@@jordysyoutubechannel I think it was the color palette that did it for me, so gloomy and dreary and the villain was kinda hot but he was serving evil realness
Yup, vividly remember swooning over Larry 😂❤
@@AKAM30i mean the way he just OOZED charisma 😩❤️
The problem with sleeping with a blanket over your face is, the eldtrich creature lurking in the hallway can now sneak into your room unnoticed.
I vaguely remember being really creeped out by the movie as a kid, never knew it was banned 😭 I ended up watching it about 10 years ago when I was 18, likely around Halloween time and while it was definitely creepy, I ended up ugly crying when Frances had to let her imaginary friend go because it reminded me I was growing up which is way scarier than the boogeyman honestly 😭
Yeah, I know they haven't replayed literally everything they've ever made, I figure it just got forgotten.
Makes sense now. I LOVED that movie. I was pissed when they stopped playing it. I will say the seen where Larry realizes Francis is the reason her brother can’t see him. Scared me as a kid. Because I liked Larry and to see his eyes go bright purplish green and his voice go all evil saying “you did it” will forever be in my brain 😂😅 I Also had an imaginary friend and definitely kept believing for A while 😂
This has always been my favorite Disney Channel original since it released but I never once realized that it was ever 'banned' in any way cause I recorded it on a VHS by the 2nd or 3rd time it aired - I'm at least glad that they have it on Disney+ now tho cause that VHS tape is LONG dead but my little ones adored the movie when I showed it to them!
edit: I will admit and own up that in my teenage years I definitely was in the camp of 'anyone scared of this movie is a little b*tch' but as an adult I have the self awareness to realize that my judgement of scary is greatly skewed by the fact that I was falling asleep to Child's Play at the age of 3
LOLOLOL the vhs tape is actually iconic
Oh man, I miss the era of VHS tape recordings. Lol I did the same thing with Return to Oz and so many other movies and TV shows. I had similar experience and saw A Nightmare on Elm Street and Child's Play when I was roughly 5 years old so.. I feel ya.
I was born in ‘97. I watch Don’t Look Under the Bed every October. It’s iconic IMO. I watched movies like Saw and Chucky and Nightmare on Elm St as a child because my sisters always watched scarier stuff. I love horror movies now and am so glad I got to witness the Disney channel before it became censored so heavily. ❤
Oh my god, I saw this movie once YEARS ago, must have been 2006, because I loved it and waited for it every year after that, but never saw it again. Eventually I forgot about it; now I’m 25, and you have just unlocked all the memories holy crap. I clicked this video on a whim and I’m so glad I did
8:13 omggg!! He just brought back my memory of this movie!! I don’t remember how I was able to watch it because my mom literally band Disney around Halloween
Such a good story arc in this ridiculous movie.
For a second i was very confused that you said it was banned because I had a vivid memory of watching this when they were doing their 100 DCOMs celebration in 2016 when the Adventures in Babysitting movie came out and they were having the marathon of playing all the dcoms. Now i was 12 at the time so I wasn't petrified of it but i do remember it being really weird and very different for a disney movie. I think i stopped watching at some point because of how weirdly scary it was. But yeah I KNOW they played it during that marathon since it would have been part of the 100 dcoms so its interesting that they pulled it out of the vault of shame only because they HAD to stick to playing all 100 dcoms
I remember the scene at 13:48 SO vividly. I had no idea they banned this DCOM.
Thank you for acknowledging this fever dream of a thrill. Also why are you the funniest person ever.
i love you dearly
OMG I JUST NOTICED THE DOLL IN THE BEGINNING IS WEARING PRETTY MUCH THE EXACT SAME OUTFIT AS ZOE!!! AND IVE WATCHED THIS RELIGIOUSLY SINCE 1999!!!
I don't ever remember being afraid of this movie when I was a kid, but I was also watching movies like "Signs", "Jeepers Creepers", and "IT" without getting too scared somehow. I loved "Don't Look Under The Bed" and luckily, my mom had it taped. So as a result, I never knew it was banned! Crazy.
i loved this movie growing up. im a sucker for good lore and fun twists and this film showing a good mythos on imaginary friends and a connection to the boogeymen. and saying "hey, its ok to not be ok with growing up to quickly before your ready."
“Boogyperson” 😂😂 I do remember being scared of the boogyworld scenes but that kiss at the end!? I lived for it. Larry was probably one of my first tv crushes. 😍😍 I’m glad it’s on Disney+. I want it every October. But why isn’t underwraps, the first one on there. I loved that movie.
I saw Don't Look Under the Bed on the Disney Channel when it first came out when I was a kid and I loved it. My kids and I recently found it on Disney+, I think last year actually, and they loved it too. I never knew it was a banned one that they tried to sweep under the rug. So sad that they did things like that, just like Return to Oz, another movie that I love that was kind of terrifying. I showed my husband and our oldest child that movie a few years ago and they were intrigued by it. The Black Cauldron was another one they did that to, and I've been trying to hunt down The Watcher in the Woods and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Also I kept wondering why The Nightmare Before Christmas was all of a sudden a Disney owned thing because when it released when I was a kid it was not advertised that way. I did some research and found out that Touchstone Pictures was actually a part of Disney which completely blew my mind to find out these were always Disney characters all my life and I never knew! I hope Disney continues to embrace their darker moments because they are some of my absolute favorites and have clearly proven that people love them. 🖤
They originally released it under Touchstone because they thought it might be too scary. They then re-released it a few years later directly under Disney.
I have to totally agree when you say “before the foreboding cringe”. Nowadays so many people call things cringe that just really aren’t and get upset over basically nothing
How did I know this was going to be about Don't Look Under the Bed 😂 For a Disney film, they didn't need to go that hard with the horror 😳 Thanks for reminding me of that trauma aha
i honestly don’t ever remember watching this movie as a kid, but i’ve always had a very irrational fear to porcelain dolls and still to this day sleep w the covers over my head and it makes me wonder…. i would’ve been 3-6 years old when it came out
I saw this for the first time a couple years ago, in my early 20s. I woke up randomly at 3 am or something, saw it on, and was scared. But I definitely appreciate the movie and that era of Disney. They don't make em like that anymore. Also, Larry was cute and I loved his iconic shades. I watched mom's got a date with a vampire on Halloween and I recognized so many of the actors, and how they went on to other works, some of which were supernatural. Like that movie had Aunt Hilda from Sabrina and the sister plays the female werewolf in the Bitten series. Or Raven's love interest in the first Cheetah Girls movie went on to play the very handsome vampire in Blood Ties.
I saw it again for the first time a couple of years ago, too. They were running a DCOM marathon, and I stayed up until 2am just to watch it. 😅
Blood Ties was so good, I'm glad to see others remember it.
This movie terrified me as a kid and I rewatched as an adult recently and I enjoyed it but definitely haunted my dreams as a kid
I loved this movie! Always felt like a "spookier" Drop Dead Fred. But I'd also seen The Shining and It by the time this came out so comparatively it was pretty tame.
I could definitely see that. I love Drop Dead Fred!
Thank you for immediately setting the record straight on the Halloweentown controversy/Marniegate. We’ve all been saying it for years, but thank you for giving us a voice
I remember watching this movie as a kid and don't remember being scared by it. I actually thought it looked pretty cool for an original Disney Channel movie, and thought it was a little less cheesy than the channel's usual movies. However, that fear was instead overshadowed by a 10 minute stop-motion film called the The Sandman. I can't remember what network it aired on and have never seen it on TV after that day, but it left me sitting at the kitchen table petrified to move from under the ceiling light at four in the afternoon.
I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE AS LIKE A 6 YEAR OLD?!
I vividly remembered the line "Clap if you think think this real!" TO HER BROTHER to prove he stilled believed in his imagery friend
And everytime I tried to explain this movie to other ppl they look at me like "Thats not a real movie. You dreamt it." Or "Sweetie are you trying to tell us you no longer have your imagery friends? Its okay, everyone out grows them, but their not a boogieman."
Like NO, that wasnt what I was saying but every Halloween I stalked the channel for the movie but the movie never came back on so I just stayed looking looking like a crazy person when my family would do the gatherings and looking back on memories going "Remember the fall she tried to tell us a movie was the reason she stopped believing in her imagery friends?"
Im 28 bow and still get told "Remember when you was 6, oh you probably don't, but that Halloween you got so scared of the boogeyman. Your tried to say it was your imagery friends turning into them. I tried to tell you it just you growing up but you wake up screaming about it."
Like no I vividly remember that and no IT WAS STILL A MOVIE DAD! I JUST KNOW THE NAME OF IT NOW FINALLY!
My sister and i loved this movie despite it scaring me deeply. I still watch it whenever i can. I love the atmosphere and set design.
I also love that they show her dad doing most of the house work because he likes doing it
I loved this movie! My grandma’s middle name was Francis so I thought that was cool. Larry was also my favorite character. I didn’t realize it was ever banned. It’s actually one of the few Disney movies I really remembered.
Jordy I am playing Tetris with all the furniture in my room right so they can paint our apartment. I am so stressed and literally your video is grounding me, bringing me joy and happiness, and helping align my heart chakra. Thank you!! Will comment AGAIN cuz ur work deserves that, when I’ve finished the video
i love you dearly
Just saw this video come across my feed. And I immediately knew it was about don’t look under the bed.
The plot is basically A Nightmare on Elm Street for kids. The Boogeyman’s nails even function like the blades in Freddy Kruger’s glove.
I watched this when I was really young but then never saw it again. I thought it was a crazy dream that I had as a kid.
Odd that “Don’t Look Under The Bed” was removed from the cue because it was too terrifying yet the opening scene of “Under Wraps” of Marshall watching a horror movie that included a knife swishing in garbage disposal and the villain busting threw the window at that opportune time, was seen as less terrifying. Anytime I accidentally drop something down the garbage disposal that scene flashes through my mind…
this movie also scared the shit out of me,, for years I too would hide under the covers except after 30 seconds I'd struggle to breath and need to work up the courage to come out from under the covers and accept my fate of being dragged down to the boogyworld 😭
I didn’t know Disney had Cry Baby Lane ‘banned’ movie like Nickelodeon
omg i need to look into this
So that’s where they got that simpsons episode from where bart had an evil conjoined twin. Well, until they figured out obviously that Bart was the evil one.
I’ve always loved how Nickelodeon and the Disney channel was able to make horror movies and tv shows for kids and actually make them scary the scary stuff was always my fav things about these networks
To answer your question of how people watched it after Disney stopped airing it. I vaguely remember a 240p bootleg floating around on youtube. Also though I haven't found any sources to back this up, (as many early dcoms are notoriously hard to find info on when it comes to home video releases), I believe it was released on VHS through the Disney movie club, or Wonderful World of DIsney. I could also swear remembering a DVD release but my brain could be making that up.
OMG this this the lore i needed
If you had Xfinity On Demand, each October it would be (and still is) available to watch for free in the Disney section. They only ever made it available during October though. And believe me, I watch it every year.
That's actually really interesting! Like I said info on this movies distribution is hard to find, so it's pretty cool learning the different ways people were able to watch it, legally and otherwise.@@ElizabethMidfordHatesCops
I’m pretty sure it got licensed to play on the Canadian kids channel YTV, because I remember it playing there all the time during the Halloween season.. way past the date it originally aired. Funny enough it never played on the “Canadian Disney channel” called Family channel which licensed every other Disney channel property to play.
I’d bet lots of people who’ve said they watched it probably saw it there, not realizing it was only Canadian.
Dont Look Under The Bed scared me as a kid
Fascinating. Between the bright red lips, claws, sharp teeth, dark hair and pointed ears, this boogeyman reminds me a lot of the the design of the boogeyman from the real Ghostbusters cartoon in the 80s. On checking, that one even had a somewhat Victorian-looking coat.
The worst part of this video is that im watching it in january and i cant go get ready to bake pilsbury pumpkin cookies 😢
NOOOOOO
BRO THANK YOU SM for making this!!! I’ve been trying to figure out what this movie was for forever!!! I also got scared of my dolls and put them in my closet, and I loved the imaginary friend, and I slept with my blankets over my head for years too 🥲 you have brought me peace with this vid.
Same!
This was one of my all-time favorite movies as a kid- but it also scared the absolute crap out of me 😅
Ive never seen your channel before tonight and I just got recommended your video on Tinkerbell and loved it, definitely agreed with all of it and thought you were really funny and resonated with your take on things, so then I watched the Preminger vid next and it was hilarious so I just went back to find something else you’ve made and you posted a brand new video??! It’s like this was meant to be girl 😂 (and thank you for including the power point on Preminger because it was a 10/10 read)
ITS FATE
OMG THE HAMTARO TOYS! OMG I LOVE THOSE SO MUCH!!!!
me too. I need a hamster come back in the media
I saw the title of the video and instantly knew what you were talking about. I remember watching this LESS THAN HALFWAY and crying because I was so scared 😭
PLEASEEEE HAHAHA im so glad im not alone
@@jordysyoutubechannel HELPPP YOU ACTUALLY ANSWERED?? OMG YOUR LIKE MY ACTUAL IDOL TYSM GIRLIE
Dude I’m getting so sick of movies being banned and blacklisted. Like… I keep thinking I’m insane because I remember all these awesome movies… but no one knows what I’m talking about.
Don’t look under the bed still haunts me in my 21 yr old self today. It was the Halloween movie on Disney that actually was horror. Nick has done creepy horror stuff like Are you Afraid of the Dark but I wasn’t part of the generation that had the old show but grew up with the three recent Are You Afraid of the Dark series. And the only one I found that was scary to me was the second Are You Afraid of the Dark because of the darkness.
I’m 37 and grew up with the original Are You Afraid Of The Dark; I loved that show and Snick (Saturday night Nick) in general! I can’t remember if I ever saw Don’t Look Under The Bed (I’ve seen most DCOMs but not all), however I don’t think it would be any worse than the original AYAOTD.
Disney's Tower Of Terror movie and The Haunted Mansion where both way more scary then Don't Look Under The Bed
Ahh I was literally just checking your channel for this! Happy Jordyween 🎃
omg im so honored you were checking! sorry for the delay angel hahahha APPRECIATE YOU
My 10 years of sleep trauma started in the videogame phantasmagoria. It was one if those ones with real footage of people (fmv) and the main character lays down in a bed in the haunted house she lives in and all these hands come out of the bad and like grab on to her. Fucked me up for a long time
Don’t Look Under the Bed needs an R rated remake 😅🩸
also, amazing vid!! the mountain dew moment made me laugh out loud. subscribed and can’t wait for more!!
Loved this movie but it also scared me when I was young lol 🎃 Happy Halloween!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN AUSTIN
Oh my gosh!! I knew you were going to say that movie! It terrified me as a kid to the point that even to this day, almost being 26, I can’t hang my legs over my bed.
I remember this movie from when I was a kid it creeped me out a little and I watched it again in 6th grade and I loved it,They should've aired this movie on Disney Channel last month in October for Halloween for old times sake and put a warning at the beginning.
I completely forgot this movie existed and attributed a lot of my memory of it to Fred Savage's "Little Monster"
Don't Look Under the Bed was my favorite movie, but it TERRIFIED me. In the 2010s, I found it in a million parts on RUclips and rewatched it a few times. When I got Disney+, it was my first watch. I was a dcom kid, but this is my favorite, handsdown, and this is a Halloween tradition watch for me now as an adult.
Don't Look Under the Bed never bothered me. I enjoyed it and still watch this every year. One of my favorites next to Stepsister from Planet Weird, Zenon, and Under Wraps, Brink, and Halloweentown 1 & 2!
It was banned!?! That is why it disappeared; I thought it was a false memory for a while
It wasn’t. It’s available on RUclips and on Disney+
Just found your channel because of this video and I remember this movie I loved it but I’ll say I watched this movie when it first came out and it scared the crap out of me and took me a couple years before I could work up the courage to watch it all the way thru again (after the first time when it scared me so much I didn’t want to watch after the halfway point when it got scary) leading me to love this movie and never knew it was banned after 2003 just a few years after I worked up the courage to watch it all the way thru finally this movie was great and probably why I hate freak out and actively avoid anyone with those long fake nails wow thanks for the help making that connection definitely subscribing now
This was always one of my favorite Disney movies and I was so bummed when they stopped showing it.
I remembered loving this movie because of the creepiness and weirdness of it. I always wondered why I never seen it again on TV. I was actually kind of happy to see that it was on Disney+. Although...why do we not have Suzie Q on Disney+? Loved that movie!
Am I remembering something that didn’t happen or when they were under the bed was there like a “honey I shrunk the kids” type effect where they had a bunch of really big props? Because I vaguely remember that being a really cool thing in this movie.
YES THEY DID it actually looked so damn good
This was one of my late sister's favorite movies.
It wasn't banned. They aired it multiple times and it's on Disney+ now. Also it's on RUclips. Definitely not a forgotten treasure! Still a treasure! As kids we LOVED being scared so it was perfect and the mythology was oddly logical.
Yeah I saw it many times on Disney Channel in like 2008-10. I was only 3 when it came out, so it was a late discovery for me! Maybe it was banned for a really short period of time? I don’t know. Didn’t stay banned, because I watched it \_(•_•)_/
@@Rachel-xg7hs i’m so glad to see others saying it wasn’t banned. the movie came out in 1999 and i definitely remember watching it every October through my elementary school years at least. It’s been on disney plus ever since it launched. I think people are thinking that it was banned just because it wasn’t being shown regularly after a certain point - which a lot of the zoog disney era shows and movies started getting pulled from regular rotation for a period of time.
Right 😂😂
Yeah I was wondering what the hell everyone was talking about. I’ve watched it twice on Disney+
Disney+ didn’t launch until 20 years after this movie was released. The movie was removed from Disney channel in 2006
My parents let me watch classic slasher films when I was a child but this movie absolutely TERRIFIED me as a kid!
Don't Look Under the Bed was my favorite. The lead-up to the premiere? I had waited. Anticipated. It was October 19th, 1999. And I watched it every replay. Was it scary? Well... only a little at first. Then I loved the concept of a world of imaginary characters.
While some claim that the movie was "scary", those complaints weren't entirely made in honesty. Some were about Larry and Francis being a potential couple being "too scary for children to handle". And... this was 1999. All of my life I had believed that it was just that the movie was scary but a lot of adults decided teenagers (including an imaginary friend teenager talking to a guy in his head) being an interracial couple was the true source of their fear. If anything, this event was what really ruined my childhood. This right here. Reading those complaints.
I remember watching this movie as a kid multiple of times! It’s such a nostalgic movie to remember! I never realized it was a banned movie by Disney.
Loved this movie growing up! And this movie was a great representation of the trauma that kids carry when they are forced to grow up too fast!
Larry actor also plays Larry in Even Steven’s lol
This movie was creepy/bizarre and I absolutely loved it/was terrified of it. I watched it a few months ago and I still enjoyed it a lot😂
Personally I have always been creeped out by porcelain dolls ( my sister had several ). Much like clowns, there is a reason that they so easily fall into being used in the horror genre.
Love your content pls never stop. It boosts my mood while doing other stuff so much
this means the world to me
dont look under the bed was my fav one and after having watched it every year id try to watch it and it just seemed like it never happened it wasnt until years later i found out they just didnt show it anymore T.T
I actually remember watching this movie as a kid! I forgot that it existed until now 😂 I do remember the dolls wigging me out and I had to put the one I had away but the rest of the movie was fine
Ive never watched this movie- but I used to be TERRIFIED of another movie- The Dark Crystal 🥺 Still havent watched it despite the fact that I LOVE puppets
Okay was hoping for the nightmare fuel to be overflowing!! I haven’t seen this movie maybe now that it’s November I get caught up LOLZ I’m just weird and quirky like that
BEAUUUUUU hahahha
I was always the weird one of my classmates and many kids my age...
When "Nightmare Before Christmas" came out I was 4 years old. Didn't get any nightmares from it.
When "Don't look under the bed came out" when I was 10, it didn't terrify me either. Honestly I was giggling so hard at the part when he said "can't you feel the wind through your hair."
Guess maybe I was just desensitized due to my dad's dark paintings growing up (rest easy dad love you and you're a big reason why I love Halloween).
This movie scarred me as a kid. Less terrifying as an adult but still
im so glad im not alone
