In the March 1973 issue of Cavalier, Stephen King terrified grown men across the world with sordid short story “The Boogeyman”. The harrowing tale would eventually be collected into his first short story collection, 1978’s Night Shift. Now, 30 years after first being published, the story is haunting theaters nationwide with Rob Savage‘s feature film adaptation.
Join Losers Randall Colburn, Justin Gerber, Dan Pfleegor, and Jenn Adams as they head to Derry’s Aladdin Theatre to check out a screening of the feature. Together, they discuss the creature design, the connection to It, the nastiness of the original story, the mental health metaphor, the in-world rules/lore, whether or not Mr. Bogeman still scares them as adults.
Stream the episode below, in addition to their interview with Savage and their original horror audio drama The Boogeyman: Mortality Rate.
