The Peanut Butter Solution


Anyone remember seeing "The Peanut Butter Solution" when you were a kid? Let me tell you...you'd remember.

First of all, it's incredibly effed up. The kid wanders into an abandoned house and sees something that scares him so badly that all of his hair falls out. Facing scrutiny from his classmates, he's embarrassed to say the least.

One night, a ghost couple appears in his kitchen and tell him of a hair care recipe that's sure to have his locks back in no time. Well, wouldn't you know it, the boy accidentally adds double the amount of peanut butter that the ghosts had suggested.

His hair just keeps growing at an insane rate to the point where he's not welcome back in school. His friend, (the perverted little Asian kid) sits behind him in class, cutting his hair. Did I mention his friend put some of the peanut butter concoction on his junk? Yeah....he does. It's not cool.

Anywho, this hair freak is then kidnapped by a crazy man who shackles him to a machine inside a veritable sweat shop factory. In the machine, his hair is able to grow and be cut by other unfortunate kidnapped children who then fashion his hair into magic paintbrushes.

With these paintbrushes, you're able to paint a magical scene on a wall that opens a portal into another world that you're then able to hop into. Like I said, it's completely effed up. I don't recall how they were able to combat the evil forces of the paintbrush man, but they do.

Unfortunately, you can't Netflix this bad boy as it only exists somewhere on VHS. I've yet to find it, but when I do.... watch out.

I've been tyring to see this movie since the mid-90s when it came up in conversation at school. I remember the ads from when I was, like, six. As far as I know it's unavailable on DVD and the only VHS copies are now collector's items because it's been out of print for so long.

Bounty: I will give a box of frozen, king-size, Snickers bars to anyone who can get me a copy of this film in a viewable format.

If you still have a VCR...found this on, guess where? Ebay of course. The only place you can find all the worthless crap imaginable!
