‘The Boogeyman’ – Exclusive Bonus Features Clip Discusses the Design of the Stephen King Movie Monster

In the wake of scaring up $66 million worldwide earlier this year, the 20th Century Studios horror movie The Boogeyman is now headed home in time for Halloween.

Be the first to watch Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman at home when it arrives exclusively on Digital August 29 and on Blu-ray™ and DVD October 10, 2023.

While you wait, Bloody Disgusting has been provided with an exclusive clip from the film’s bonus features package today, featuring insights from director Rob Savage (Host).

“This creature has to remain scary and slightly intangible by the end of the movie or else we’ve kind of ruined the Boogeyman,” Savage explains. “We needed to find a design that was scary and familiar but also had an element about it that was slightly unknowable but spoke to something existentially terrifying.”

Relive your most terrifying childhood fears when The Boogeyman, “the scariest horror film of the year” (Matt Donato, IGN) arrives at digital retail including Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango/Vudu on August 29 and on Blu-ray and DVD October 10.
