Right now, Disney Channel is in the middle of its 100 Original Movie marathon and has aired 67 of them as of Tuesday (June 7), including Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, which is basically a magical version of Back to the Future. In the film, a bizarre street magician and former wizard named Archie (Steve Valentine) tries to help the Russo kids fix a big mistake.
But before playing the quirky Archie, Valentine starred in one of the oldest (and scariest) DCOMs back in the '90s: Don't Look Under the Bed. He played none other than the Boogeyman himself, a.k.a. the bro who haunted your nightmares for years.

Talk about a role reversal. Valentine is almost unrecognizable, thanks to heavy makeup, prosthetics, and a 10-year gap between movies. Plus, Valentine also starred in the DCOMs Avalon High and Teen Beach Movie after Wizards, so he's definitely a DCOM veteran.
Don't Look Under the Bed airs on Disney Channel June 13 at 2:00 a.m. as part of the mega marathon. If you missed Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie's showing on May 28, don't fret. It's available on Netflix Instant right now.
Good luck being able to unsee this, though.
