Kids often feel afraid of monsters under the bed or in the closet, and for many children, the Boogeyman is a scary creature who just might be lurking in the darkness. There are Boogeyman myths from several places, from a black spirit in Italy to a demon hiding in chimneys in Scotland. While Eric Kripke is known for creating the huge hit TV show Supernatural, he also wrote a 2005 horror movie called Boogeyman starring Barry Watson as a man named Tim Jensen who saw the creature murder his dad.
