The Boogeyman was my introduction to Stephen King and it terrified me. I don’t know that a film can ever successfully fill me with as much dread and misery as that story did. I know there was an earlier attempt to adapt it that came out pretty terrible.

Synopsis:
>High school student Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer are reeling from the recent death of their mother and aren’t getting much support from their father, Will, a therapist who is dealing with his own pain. When a desperate patient unexpectedly shows up at their home seeking help, he leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity that preys on families and feeds on the suffering of its victims.
The short story is burnt into my memory but judging from the synopsis they changed it a lot.
[Futurama voice] “You are now entering… the Scary Door.”
Assume this is in no way related to 2005’s Boogeyman? Remake, remaster or from the same source material or whatever?
The short story scared the shit out of me as a kid.
Loved **’Host’** but hated **’Dashcam’**.
Thankfully Scott Beck & Bryan Woods are the writers here. This should be good.
When I read the title I said Baba Yaga in my head.
I don’t want to alarm you, but there may be a Boogeyman or Boogeymen in the house!
“Bart…I don’t want to alarm you, but there may be a boogeyman or boogeymen in the house!”
Boogeymen are no big deal. Just throw a rag over their eyes. They won’t be able to tell if they exist.
No way it’ll be as scary as Disney’s “Mr. Boogedy” (1986).
To this day the scariest depiction of the Boogeyman to me is from the Ghostbusters cartoon. Shit freaks me out still.
Excited for this. Supposedly this movie was going to streaming, then the test screenings went so well, that they changed it to theaters.
“Well John wasn’t exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman.”
The Boogity Man
If his first name ain’t Oogie, I’m out.
A Stephen King movie that’s PG-13? Surprising
I loved the ending in this one, but I don’t know if it works as long film.
Good short story, but a whole movie?
The “Don’t Let it Out” tagline immediately made my brain flash to the kid in the Babadook screaming “DONT LET IT IN” repeatedly
Oh shit, I’m intrigued to see how they’ll turn that short story into a feature
I thought John Wick 4 comes out on March 24th?
Oh…oh no… This might have been the most upsetting Stephen King short stories I’ve ever read.
PG-13…
Which me having to Google. What is the King name-dropping referencing here?
I would love for every story from Night Shift to get it’s own movie/TV show.
Someone I know made their own movie foe I Know What You Need which is one of my favs from it and I would love to see a big production of that
John Wick 5
This summer, Rob Schneider is…The Boogeyman
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QsudEHsuvIg
Trailer out now.
Just send in John Wick to take care of him
PG-13 smh
Cast on IMDb lists Chris Messina and David Dastmalchian. 👀
I have a Boogeyman! WE have a John Wick!
PG 13 horror movies are usually garbage.
Pee pee poo poo man
Monsters, Inc. 2
The Bogeyman may be scary, but he still checks under his bed every night to make sure Chuck Norris isn’t hiding there.
“So nice… So nice.”
If I knew Keanu Reeves shows up at the end and kills the Boogeyman, I’d buy that movie in a heartbeat.
The Stephen King short story this is based on is UTTERLY TERRIFYING
The Boogeyman was my introduction to Stephen King and it terrified me. I don’t know that a film can ever successfully fill me with as much dread and misery as that story did. I know there was an earlier attempt to adapt it that came out pretty terrible.
