    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

    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.

    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

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.

    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. 🖤

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 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!

    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…

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
