The Boogeyman (short story)

The story takes place in the office of Dr. Harper, a psychiatrist, where a man named Lester Billings talks to the doctor about the "murders" of his three young children, describing the events of the past several years.Approximately a year after their second child's death, Lester's wife, Rita, became pregnant with their son Andy and subsequently moved to a different neighborhood, far from the old one.Feeling the malevolent presence growing bolder in his wife's absence, Lester began to panic and decided to move Andy to a separate bedroom, knowing that the monster would go for him.He later returned home at dawn, called the police, and discovered Andy's corpse on the floor with the closet door ajar.[2] Written by Scott Beck, Bryan Woods, and Mark Heyman, and directed by Rob Savage, it stars Sophie Thatcher, Chris Messina,[3] David Dastmalchian, Marin Ireland, Vivien Lyra Blair, and Madison Hu.
