Author Stephen King’s The Boogeyman movie adaptation has been in the works for several years now. It began production a year ago, and was all set to move forward with a Hulu streaming release, but now we have word that the Rob Savage directed feature adaptation will be headed to theaters instead. Similar to Paramount’s Smile, and the booming genre box office, a test screening prompted 20th execs to pivot the release to theatrical.
The film stars Chris Messina, Sophie Thatcher, Marin Ireland and David Dastmalchian. The Boogeyman comes from a story featured in King’s 1978 book Night Shift. The feature take centers around a teenager and her younger sister who are mourning their mom’s death. A boogeyman from the beyond enters their lives after their psychologist dad has an encounter with a patient in their home.
The Boogeyman is set to be released in theaters on June 2, 2023.
