Don't Look Under the Bed

Don't Look Under the Bed (1999) is a Disney Channel original you can watch online on iFILM, mixing family comedy with a few real scares.

Frances is the perfect kid: top of her class, skipped a grade, her parents' pride. Then her hometown unravels. Clocks race ahead, the swimming pool turns to jelly, dogs end up on rooftops overnight, and graffiti with her name shows up all over town. Everyone blames Frances. The real culprit is hiding in the one place kids dread most — under her little brother's bed. Her only ally is an imaginary friend named Larry Houdini (Ty Hodges).

Directed by Kenneth Johnson, it built a reputation as one of the darkest films the channel ever aired; the Boogeyman genuinely rattled a generation of Disney kids. Erin Chambers plays Frances, with Steve Valentine as the charming, creepy monster. A solid Halloween pick for tweens who want a fright that won't tip over the edge.
