Merlin's Shop Of Mystical WondersMerlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders is a movie starring Ernest Borgnine. Despite what the title would imply, this film is more of a horror film than a child-friendly fantasy movie. In this film, Borgnine plays a man who tells his grandson a story about the wizard Merlin opening up a store in modern-day America. Plot The film is divided into two storylines. In the first storyline, an obnoxious columnist examines the store, berates Merlin and his wife, and threatens to write a negative column that will cause his readers to avoid the store. Merlin gives the columnist a book of spells as proof that he actually is the legendary wizard. Once home, the columnist examines the book and casts a few spells. The magic makes him age, kills his cat, and causes him to see an image of a demon. He then attempts to make himself young again by casting a spell that involves taking his wifes blood. The spell works too well, turning the columnist into a baby. His wife then raises her (former) husband as her child. In the second storyline, a thief steals a toy monkey from Merlins shop and sells it to a novelty store, where it is quickly bought as a present for a young boy. Every time the monkeys cymbals are struck, a nearby living thing dies. The boys father takes the monkey and attempts to bury it, but it finds its way back into the boys house. But before the monkey can cause any more damage, Merlin shows up and takes the toy back to his shop.
