20th Century Studios Releases Thrilling Trailer For “The Boogeyman”

20th Century Studios has released a new trailer for their upcoming horror-thriller, The Boogeyman, due out this June in a new spine-tingling adaptation of a short story by Stephen King.

What’s Happening:

  • Ahead of its June release, a new trailer for The Boogeyman, an adaptation of the short story of the same name written by Stephen King, has debuted.
  • The new trailer is definitely not for the faint of heart.
  • 20th Century Studios and 21 Laps present The Boogeyman, a horror-thriller from the mind of best-selling author Stephen King, which opens June 2, 2023, in theaters nationwide.
  • High school student Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer are reeling from the recent death of their mother and aren’t getting much support from their father, Will, a therapist who is dealing with his own pain. When a desperate patient unexpectedly shows up at their home seeking help, he leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity that preys on families and feeds on the suffering of its victims.

  • The Boogeyman, directed by Rob Savage (Host) with a screenplay by Scott Beck & Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place) and Mark Heyman (Black Swan), based upon the short story by Stephen King, stars Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets), Chris Messina (Birds of Prey), Vivian Lyra Blair (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Marin Ireland (The Umbrella Academy), Madison Hu (Bizaardvark), LisaGay Hamilton (Vice), and David Dastmalchian (Dune). The producers are Shawn Levy (Stranger Things), Dan Levine (Arrival), and Dan Cohen (The Adam Project), with Emily Morris (Rosaline), John H. Starke (Sicario), Scott Beck, Bryan Woods, Adam Kolbrenner (The Tomorrow War), Ryan Cunningham, and Robin Meisinger serve as executive producers.

  • The Boogeyman opens exclusively in theaters nationwide June 2, 2023.

What They’re Saying:

  • Director Rob Savage: The Boogeyman is a classic horror movie in the mold of ‘Poltergeist’ that has scares and heart in equal measure. I vividly remember the terror I felt reading King’s short story as a kid, and it’s this feeling of childhood fear that I wanted to inspire in cinema audiences around the world. This film was made in collaboration with an incredibly talented team of creatives, and is anchored by wonderful, soulful performances from our incredible cast – I'm in awe of them, truly. We’re incredibly proud of this movie and can’t wait to give you all a reason to fear the dark again on June 2nd.”
