Good 80's Kid Flick!

Warning: Spoilers
Fred Savage, Howie Mandel, Ben Savage, Rick Ducommun, Daniel Stern, Margaret Whitton and Frank Whaley star in this 1989 fantasy. Brian Stevenson (F. Savage) is an unhappy boy who has just moved to a new town with his family. One night, Brian hears his little brother, Eric (B. Savage) screaming after seeing a monster in his room. Soon, Brian meets and befriends mischievous monster, Maurice (Mandel) who comes from a bizarre world under their beds. Maurice gives Brian the tour and run into Snick (Ducommun) who works for head monster, Boy (Whaley). Boy and Snick decide to punish Maurice for revealing their world by kidnapping Eric and Brian attempts to rescue him with Maurice's help. Stern (Home Alone) and Whitton (The Secret of My Success) play Brian and Eric's parents, Glen and Holly. This is one of my childhood favorites that has some humorous, creepy & dramatic moments. Savage and Mandel are good together, Robert Short's make-up is great as well as David Newman's score. I recommend this good 80's Kid flick.
