Get ready for your childhood nightmares to come to life. Deadline reports that Sophie Thatcher and Chris Messina have been cast in the upcoming The Boogeyman, a film adaptation of the short story by horror legend Stephen King.
The Boogeyman was initially published in 1973 in an issue of the magazine Cavalier, and was later republished in 1978 as a part of King’s Night Shift, a collection of short stories. The terrifying story follows a man during a visit to a psychiatrist, recounting each of his three children’s gruesome murders at the hand of a malevolent being.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The film adaptation of The Boogeyman is set to differ from the source material. According to the previously released synopsis, the story will center around a sister and brother, tormented by a sadistic creature as they struggle to gain the attention of their grieving father. Mark Heyman is writing the script based on original drafts by Scott Beck, Akela Cooper, and Bryan Woods. Production is expected to begin next month, with Rob Savage set to direct.
