    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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 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.

    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.

Funny enough it never played on the “Canadian Disney channel” called Family channel which licensed every other Disney channel property to play.

    I sleep with the blankets over my head too, because I spent 7 years homeless and discovered it was much safer for me to sleep when nobody could tell I was a girl alone. I can now sleep without a knife in my hand, but I still sleep with the blankets over my head, and my right hand gripping nothing tightly, clutched to my chest. I also instinctively curl into a ball like I learned to do to keep myself warmer, even though I now have a bed to spread out on in a room that isn’t cold, and I can’t fall asleep if I’m not leaning up against one of my dogs. Old habits die hard. I was afraid of the boogeyman too in my own way, only the one I was afraid of is real, and will hurt you if you let him see you and can’t defend yourself in the night. It’s a hard fear to let go of, and I’m autistic, which I suspect adds to the strength of my habits

    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.

    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.

It’s been on disney plus ever since it launched.

    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.
