Joaquin Phoenix auditioned for the role of Corwin Davis.
Michael Janover's original script was called 'Cheap Thrills'. It was a parody of horror films and written as a vehicle for Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. When Disney picked the project, he toned down the humor.
Michael Janover got the 'boogedy' term from the segment 'The Ledge' from the film Cat's Eye (1985). In it, Robert Hays is forced by Kenneth McMillan to walk along a ledge on the top of a skyscraper and McMillan's character taunts him shouting 'Boogey! Boogey! Boogey!'
John Astin, Kristy Swanson and Benji Gregory were unable to reprise their roles for the sequel The Magical World of Disney: Bride of Boogedy (1987). Both Astin and Swanson were busy with film projects, and Gregory was filming the TV series ALF (1986). Their roles were re-cast with different actors.
Was originally envisioned by writer Michael Janover as an Airplane! (1980) style comedy that was watered down when Columbia Pictures rejected it and Disney picked it up.
"Carleton Davis: [the kids are trying to tell Carleton and Eloise about the house being haunted and Mr. Boogedy, but Carleton keeps joking around] OK. What is it? Jennifer Davis: OK. We went to the Historical Society... Carleton Davis: [interupts] No wait, wait, wait! You gotta see this! [pulls out a fake mummy] Carleton Davis: Isn't he great? [holds the mummy upright] Carleton Davis: Oh, gee wiz! I'm sad, because I lost my mummy! [Eloise laughs] Ghost Voice: [Evil cackle] Carleton Davis: Hey! Whoa, boy! What was that? Jennifer Davis, Corwin Davis, R.E. Davis: [all together] Ghosts! Carleton Davis: Oh, yeah, sure. So, uh, how'd you guys do that? Jennifer Davis: Daddy, please? Corwin Davis: Come on, Dad! Carleton Davis: No, it's great, really! I'm not mad, I just want to know how you did it. Jennifer Davis: Dad, the house is haunted! Eloise Davis: Hmm, hmm, hmm. Haunted? R.E. Davis: It's Mr. Boogedy! Carleton Davis: OK, I don't know how you guys are doing that, but one thing I do know, this house is not haunted! Carleton Davis: [Immediately, things in the room start going off. The organ plays by itself, the lights dim up and down, the fake mummy comes to life and begins dancing around to the organ music, ghost hands fill out the monster gloves and start to clap in mid-air. As the music reaches its peak, the mummy swings its arms around three times, then collapses in a heap, the room returning to normal. Carleton looks to Eloise] Hmm. Eloise Davis: Well, that's it! Time to call a realtor! Carleton Davis: Eloise, how can you say that? Eloise Davis: [points to her mouth] Time to call, a realtor! Carleton Davis: But you mean move! Jennifer Davis: I think we otta go, right now! Carleton Davis: No, no, it's late, the boys are tired... Corwin Davis, R.E. Davis: [together] We're not tired! Jennifer Davis: I'm not spending another night in this house, it's full of ghosts! Carleton Davis: Wait! Wait! Hold it, everybody! I got an idea, uh, sleeping bags! We have sleeping bags... uh, we'll camp out!"
"Carleton Davis: Ah, did anybody leave a weird green light on in that room?"
