I thought it was this film but obviously not
I remember seeing a similar tv movie a couple of times in the early/mid 80's. The only things I remember are a scene where the main boy is overly mollycoddled, which he dreads, by an old aunt (or something) who is wearing a blue outfit and hat and a truckload of makeup. And he had a peephole under his floorboards so that he could spy down on the living room (through the ceiling).
Anyone remember what this film was called?
