Reply to comment by I_want_to_believe_99 in ‘Halloweentown’ star Kimberly J. Brown shares movie’s alternative ending by MarielaGorman

Omg yes. Hocus pocus, halloween town, and under wraps were all three movies I loved so dearly as a kid.

(Let’s do a little test to see how known the last one was, under wraps, anyone remember that?”)

Thats the one thats like a buddy cop movie but with a teenage boy and a mummy, right?

YES and the mummy is just trying to find his wife who was found in a sarcophagus. Some greedy dude finds out that the mummy is walking and living and wants to capture him for himself.

So the boy pulls shenanigans similar at weekend at Bernie’s to walk around with the mummy so people don’t notice him.

The dialogue of the mummy too is pretty funny, he just grunts or moans lol.

So it’s like ET + buddy cop movie + mummies instead of aliens lol

And the mummy is played by the voice actor for Patrick Star.

The end of that movie when he finds his wife again is heartbreaking.

This movie is not on Disney+ and that makes me so sad because I loved it as a kid!

UNDER WRAPS! I’ve been trying to remember the name of that move for ages… I could only remember the opening scene (kid watching a movie where a monster breaks in through the kitchen window) and the song “All By Myself” being used in it

Loved that movie and the songs in it- 'All By Myself' and 'Shake Your Booty' during the 70's dress-up montage!

I have this memory of watching 'Under Wraps' with my daughter, then 2, around Halloween 2000. She kept wanting to watch 'the mummy with bandages' over and over, but in November the cable channel (Disney Channel, maybe?) wasn't playing the movie anymore so she was upset. Eventually I found it on VHS and that VHS is in an old box in the storage room...
