The Boogeyman is a supernatural horror film from 20th Century Studios that depicts the realisation of every child’s worst nightmare: a monster under their bed. The movie is based on Stephen King’s 1973 short story of the same name, which is regarded as one of the author’s scariest pieces.
In The Boogeyman, the main characters are a teenage girl and her younger sister who, while still grieving their mother’s passing, are terrorised by a monster. To view the trailer and find out when the movie will be released, keep reading.
