THE PEANUT BUTTER SOLUTION

Michael Rubbo, Canada, 1985, Severin Films, Cult

“The real deal…like an Afterschool Special telling kids their hair will fall out, peers will make fun of them, and they’ll be whisked away to a demented underworld where Celine Dion sings and children beg for their lives.” -- Moviejawn.com

One of the most powerful and unique “childhood haunts” of the VHS era, full of mind-shattering concepts that still leave viewers in stunned disbelief. This singular experience first left its mark on an unsuspecting cable TV / video store generation that, for years, couldn’t shake its aura.

Pre-teen Michael’s parents are checked-out and little sis is eerily too adult. After Michael loses his hair from fright, two ghosts teach him a secret, disgusting hair-growth spell. But when Michael screws up the recipe, his hair starts growing...and growing...and growing. “Puberty panic” doesn’t begin to describe the total madness that is THE PEANUT BUTTER SOLUTION. Simply one of our faves.
