Fred Savage and Howie Mandel shouldn’t need an introduction but they might. Fred Savage dominated television in the 90’s on his hit show The Wonder Years. Howie Mandel is mostly associated with American Idol but he also dominated TV in the 90’s with hit cartoon Bobby’s World.

Directed by Richard Greenberg and starring Fred Savage, Howie Mandel, Daniel Stern, Rick Ducommun, Frank Whaley. A young boy is scared of the monster under his bed. He asks his 6th grade brother to swap rooms for the night as a bet that the monster really exists. Soon the brother becomes friends with the monster and discovers a whole new world of fun and games under his bed where pulling pranks on kids and other monsters is the main attraction.
