We're watching this bizarre Canadian "children's movie" with contests, a Drinking Game and a secret double feature film!
After encountering two ghosts, a young boy named Michael develops "The Fright," which causes him to lose all of his hair. After a failed attempt with a wig, the ghosts visit Michael in his sleep and give him the recipe of a magical formula for hair growth, the main ingredient of which is peanut butter. Though the ghosts warn him not to use too much peanut butter, Michael doesn't heed their advice, and his hair starts growing uncontrollably. Then there's something with an evil art teacher and using the hair as paintbrushes and...man, what were they smoking in Canada in 1985?
Apparently this movie "traumatized" a generation of children (the filmmakers have admitted it was maybe "too much") but hey - the first English-language songs performed by Céline Dion so...we'll call it even!
This is our pal Tonya's pick for a SecretFormula Cinema Double Feature! We'll play some contests, imbibe with our Drinking Game, AND pair this film with a super secret Double Feature to complete the evening!
