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. Let’s just say, you listeners will want to keep the lights on.
If you recall, on Monday, Creepy‘s Jon Grilz unveiled his own sordid tale about a haunted vlogger with an unlikely follower titled, “Boogey of a Man”. Today, Shelby Scott of Scare You to Sleep shares a haunting tale that follows a troubled mother whose unnerving confession goes horribly awry. Not enough to tease? Here’s the full synopsis:
On a blustery night in Los Angeles in 1933, a desperate mother attempts to use religion as her last weapon against a mysterious monster who has already murdered several of her children. She finds a weary priest to tell her tale to in a confessional booth. Whether he can help her or not is the only thing standing between her daughter’s life and The Boogeyman.
Stream the episode below, and stay tuned for the rest of the series. Next up? On Monday, May 29th, Mayfair Watchers Society captures the titular terror as it zeroes in on a bunch of monster-hunting kids. Then, The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast will round out the series with their story on Friday, June 2nd, with a disturbing visit to the emergency room.
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.”
