80’s Movies Monday, Best of the Worst: Mommie Dearest
We’re down to our last few weeks of the Best of the Worst of the 80’s movies. This week’s pick is from Kelley Saunders of Thrifty Mommy.
Mommie Dearest is one of those that I do remember seeing at what was probably a pretty young age. I remember the boy being strapped in his bed, the crazy eyes of Mommie Dearest, and the classic “NO WIRE HANGERS” line.
Here are Kelley’s thoughts on that infamous flick:
I still can’t use wire coat hangers. We watched Mommie Dearest a few times and was tramatized ever since. My mom let us stay with the sweet school secretary that lived across the street, Mrs. Helweg. She was wonderful. But for some reason, she let us try to watch Mommie Dearest. My sister and I would start it when we got to her house after school and would get to the same spot every time before our mom would pick us up. I was scarred for life.
Thanks for participating, Kelley!
What about you? Any wire hanger issues that you’re still holding onto? Any fears of being strapped in the bed? Hmm….maybe that’s why I have to keep a foot out of the covers at night. I need to have an escape! :D

I never saw the movie, but just read the book (a musty old paperback from who knows what year). Now I’m dying to see it!

Hi Jul! I don’t think I ever did read this one, but the movie was enough to scare the pants off me then! Ahh…memories. :D
