      NaomiGigi It’s really easy to mix up, but his name is the Signor. It’s an Italian term meaning mister and is used sometimes as a form of address for an Italian speaking man. I think his French accent is just an accident when trying to make an Italian accent (like how some can mix up British and Australian accents due to extreme similarities.)

    A couple points I recall from seeing this movie years ago that were missed here (which is fine) but that I think will make this trippy 80's movie make a bit more sense:
    1. The ghosts told Michael not to use too much peanut butter. But he added more because the hair potion was too runny and he didn't want it getting in places other than his scalp.
    2. The friend thought it'd be cool to have hair on his legs like an older teen or adult, so he put some of the extra on his legs. For some reason he's able to yell at the leg hair to quit growing and it does. This is never explained.

    This movie is actually part of an anthology that includes other titles like “Christmas Martians,” “The Dog Who Stopped the War,” “Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller,” and “The Case of the Witch Who Wasn’t.” They were also all made into books. The last film in this series came out in 2014.

    Watched this in probably 1986 or 1987 with my best friend. We were too little to be WTF so we were just scared shitless. And then no one we knew had ever seen it, so it just became this shared trauma that we mention to each other from time to time when we see each other. "Do you remember The Peanut Butter Solution?" "OMG what the hell was that?"

      It might've been legal. The usa has always had a weird relationship with alcohol. Prior to the mid 80s, the age you could drink varied from state to state and what kind of alcohol you drank. It also went up and down and up again over time. I personally think they should either lower it to 18 or raise the age you are legally an adult to 21. In the usa you can sign life changing contracts, join the military, take control of medical decisions, etc., but God forbid you try to buy a beer.

The Beetlejuice poster that includes the bird head for seemingly no reason freaked me out for a few years as a kid, as it was used in lots of ads for the NES game. But I originally saw The Peanut Butter Solution in December 1989 when I was 7, and didn't see Beetlejuice until at least late 1990.

    How did the kid get downstairs without knowing he was bald? Imagine all of your hair "let's go of your skull" in the middle of the night. You wake up - surrounded by your hair in your bed. You are not calmly going down to breakfast. You are freaking out about all the hair in your bed. Such a weird movie.

    I feel like that kid saying "I won't come back to class again" wasn't a threat to skip school, it was a threat to vanish off the face of the earth.

    it's like the creator of this movie somehow got his hands on a bunch of free wigs, did LSD, and then came up with this premise for a movie and just went with it without editing his original idea or letting anyone else vet it

      Ms. Dreavus yo that's one of the most accurate takes on acid that I've heard.
      probably thought it was GENIUS, and everyone who watched it would understand what he was going for.

    I watched this movie a bunch as a kid, then completely forgot about it. Until I smoked weed/eat shrooms for the first time in my mid-twenties. Then spent 8 years with the vaguest glimpses of the movie popping into my head, but no way of finding it.
    Until it popped up on a torrent site one day, I watched the trailer and had this wave of trippy nostalgia.
    I just got that feeling again seeing the thumbnail for this vid 😵‍💫

    I remember seeing this movie in the 80’s. It haunted me for decades. I couldn’t remember the name of it until about 2018, and even then I only remembered the ‘peanut butter’ part.
    After I fig’d it all out, and rewatched it, I am now haunted for all new reasons…some of which you pointed out here.
    Thanks for the ultra-obscure movie review!

    So I saw this movie I think in the early 90's as a kid and it did hit me how incredibly weird it was. I never ran into anyone else who had seen it and anytime I tried to describe the plot to them other kids were like "That isn't real and doesn't exist". You have no idea how happy I was to find out people online knew what it was and were properly sketched out by it

    This movie was free on Canadian cable and I was really young when I stumbled upon it, I was so scared of being locked in a cage to be forced to make paintbrushes. That genuinely became my phobia as a child😂
