Dashcam’s Rob Savage set to direct Stephen King’s The Boogeyman

November 2, 2021 by Matt Rodgers

We called his latest found-footage horror Dashcam “The Future of Horror” and now Host director Rob Savage is going to get to work with one of the masters of the genre having been tapped to direct an adaptation of Stephen King short story The Boogeyman.

Per Deadline, Savage will direct a two-hour film for 20th/Hulu from a script by Mark Heyman (Black Swan), who is working from original drafts written by A Quiet Place‘s Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, as well as Malignant‘s Akela Cooper. 21 Laps’ (Free Guy) Shawn Levy, Dan Levine and Dan Cohen are producing.

The official logline for The Boogeyman reads: still reeling from the tragic death of their mother, a teenage girl and her little brother find themselves plagued by a sadistic presence in their house and struggle to get their grieving father to pay attention before it’s too late.

First published in Cavalier in 1973, and later included in King’s 1978 collection Night Shift, The Boogeyman is a fan favourite story which follows a man called Lester Billings who has lost of all his children to a mysterious creature lurking in the closest. It has been adapted numerous times as short films, most notably in 1982, but this new project will mark the first feature version.
