On Friday, June 2nd, Rob Savage‘s terrifying new supernatural horror film The Boogeyman will haunt audiences nationwide. In anticipation, Bloody Disgusting and BloodyFM has partnered with 20th Century Studios to deliver four original podcast episodes themed to the Stephen King adaptation. Rest assured, you listeners will want to keep the lights on.
Each episode will feature original stories inspired by the film and centered around the titular entity that awaits in the dark. Among the four podcasts include Creepy, Scare You to Sleep, Mayfair Watchers Society, and The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast.
Today, Creepy creator Jon Grilz kicks off the series with an unnerving tale about a fatherhood vlogger whose moderate fanbase gains the most outrageous follower yet. Things take a stranger turn for the father when his son claims there’s something in the closet.
Stream the first episode below, keep watch of your closets, and stay tuned for the rest of the series. Next up? This Friday, Shelby Scott of Scare You to Sleep will test your faith (and your fear) with a haunting tale straight outta the confessional booth.
The Boogeyman stars Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets”) and Chris Messina (Birds of Prey) alongside David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad), Marin Ireland (Y: The Last Man, The Umbrella Academy), Vivien Lyra Blair (Bird Box, Mr. Corman) and Madison Hu (Voyagers).
In the film, “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, he leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity that preys on families and feeds on the suffering of its victims.”
“’The Boogeyman’ is a classic horror movie in the mold of ‘Poltergeist’ that has scares and heart in equal measure,” says director Rob Savage. “I vividly remember the terror I felt reading King’s short story as a kid, and it’s this feeling of childhood fear that I wanted to inspire in cinema audiences around the world. This film was made in collaboration with an incredibly talented team of creatives, and is anchored by wonderful, soulful performances from our incredible cast – I’m in awe of them, truly. We’re incredibly proud of this movie.”
