Where to Watch The Boogeyman Online

Here's how to watch The Boogeyman movie at home.

The Boogeyman isn't hiding in the closet or beneath your bed, but the movie is in home theaters. Based on the short story by Stephen King, the horror-thriller follows a grieving family (Sophie Thatcher, Vivien Lyra Blair, and Chris Messina) and their encounter with a shadow-dwelling monster: "The thing that comes for your kids when you're not paying attention." Originally planned to go straight-to-streaming on Hulu before Disney's 20th Century Studios sent The Boogeyman to theaters instead, director Rob Savage's PG-13 horror flick scared up $82.3 million at the global box office after releasing exclusively in movie theaters on June 2nd. 

"When the movie tested so well, we decided it was time to get his input — so we rented out [King's] favorite cinema in Maine,"  Savage told Total Film. "He knows what he doesn't like and if we'd have f---ed up his story, he'd have told us. But he sent a lovely almost-essay about how much he enjoyed the movie. And then the next day I wake up and there's an email in my inbox from Steve King and he said he's still thinking about the movie. He said a few more nice things and the nicest thing that he said was, 'They'd be f---ing stupid to release this on streaming and not in cinemas.'"
