Trying to Remember an old Wonderful World of Disney Film...

[mle]

I'm trying to figure out the name and information on an old Wonderful World of Disney movie that my family always watched in the late 80's. I think it was something with "The Boogie Man...". I just remember the family moved into a new house and it was haunted and they eventually got rid of the boogie man by sucking him up with the vacuum. Does anyone remember this? Any help would be awesome! Thanks

"The Boogie Man...".

Thats 1986's Mr. Boogedy. I never saw it on TV but my family had it on a taped VHS for years and is not on any type of Home Video.

[Mr. Toad]

It is also known by the title Child of Glass I believe.

He has only a day or two to solve the riddle, or be haunted for the rest of his life!
