* ''Film/MerlinsShopOfMysticalWonders''. Just sticking a cute magician into a story about a man who sets fire to his cat and [[IncestIsRelative becomes his wife's son]], and a monkey possessed by {{Satan}} who murders all in his path ''does NOT'' make it a kids' film. This is more the fault of the executives making the film than that of parents or video-store owners, though.
** Played with in the corresponding episode of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', where Mike and the bots read other books supposedly related to the film. All of them have titles like "Santa's Workshop of Shimmering Delights", but are horrific {{Gorn}} fests -- except for the lighthearted "Dr. Blood's Orgy of Gore".
*** "Remember to believe in magic... ''or I'll kill you.''"
** The second half of the movie was actually a re-edited version of an older horror movie done by the same director called "The Devil's Gift". The director cut out some of the more intense horror sequences, such as [[spoiler: the original ending where the monkey kills the entire family]] and spliced in unrelated footage of Merlin to make it a family-friendly film. Total fail.

The riffing itself makes jokes about this too: "Remember to believe in magic... ''or I'll kill you.''"
