We chat with TheBoogeyman director Rob Savage about the extensive lore of the Boogeyman, Stephen King's support, and the design of the terrifying monster:
In The Boogeyman, high schooler Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer are still reeling from the loss of their mother. Their father, Will, a therapist, is stuck in his own grief and unable to give them the support or comfort they need. When a new patient shows up at their home desperate for help, he brings a demonic entity with him. This terrifying entity latches onto the Harper family and begins spreading fear and turmoil through the home as it feeds off their suffering.
Rob Savage: I came on board. I did this movie Host, and I got offered this right off the bat of that. There was already a script that existed by Beck and Woods who did A Quiet Place. I developed it off in a very different direction, but they laid this great foundation, and had come up with a really cool idea of how to expand the short story. Which is basically just two people in a therapy session talking for eight pages.
Rob Savage: We kind of had this idea that the creature, like you said like a haunted house movie, we went by Insidious rules. That this creature wasn't a physical thing that's bound to the house. That wherever there's darkness this thing can manifest. That even though it's a creature ultimately, and its flesh and blood, it can manifest through darkness it can kind of materialized like something spiritual.
Talk to me about the actual design of the Boogeyman, because it is terrifying. What went into the design and how did you come up with that concept? Rob Savage: Yeah, we got into a lot of backstory me and David about where Lester had come from, what he wants from this interaction. We meet him, he's almost in the third act of his own horror movie. He's ready to face this thing down, but there's a whole horror movie that exists before the credits roll that lead him there.
