William Earl While Hollywood was on pause during the worst of the pandemic, Rob Savage’s quick thinking and creativity inspired him to make two movies on the fly. The British writer-director shot his independent film “Host” at the beginning of COVID-19 restrictions, with cast and crew using Zoom and self-taping to tell the spine-chilling tale of a socially distanced seance.

What about “The Boogeyman” lured Savage from the indie world to a project that funneled up to Disney? “I’ve always wanted to do a movie like this, a kind of big studio horror movie that you can watch on a Friday night,” he says. “After doing two movies that are very pandemic-focused — they’re very much taking the temperature of 2020 and 2021 — we shot this in 2022. I wanted it to feel like this movie could be plucked right out of the ’70s, or you could watch this 10 years down the line and it still speaks to fundamental fears.” Whereas “Host” and “Dashcam” were specific to their highly unusual time, the premise for “The Boogeyman” is a much more conventionally-plotted horror story: A sad dad (Chris

It was revealed last year that King Charles is planning the largest ever series of official tours in the UK, the Commonwealth and to other countries around the world to "extend a hand of friendship and support.” While it has been understood that the monarch will prioritise visits to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and a number of Commonwealth realms in the Caribbean, there are a number of countries that will also be high on the agenda such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.The King and Queen undertook their first visit to Germany before the Coronation, but are expected to make several more trips in the coming few years. While Their Majesties will carry out many of the visits themselves, they are ably supported by key senior royals, such as The Prince and Princess of Wales, who are thought to be instrumental in The King's plans for future foreign tours.

Rob Savage isn’t a household name in horror, yet, but if you look at his most recent work, this is a guy who seems like he is destined for great things in genre filmmaking. And in this episode of The Playlist Podcast, I got the chance to talk to Savage and discuss his newest film, “The Boogeyman,” which is based on a short story by Stephen King.
The Boogeyman” is here.The new supernatural thriller, based on the short story by Stephen King, stars Sophie Thatcher as a young woman whose mother was recently killed in a car accident.

The Boogeyman” is here.Based on the short story by Stephen King (originally published in a 1973 issue of Playboy competitor Cavalier and collected in King’s 1978 anthology “Night Shift”), the slender story was first adapted by “A Quiet Place” writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods in 2018 for 20th Century Fox. When Disney acquired the company in 2019, development was canceled, only to be revived in late 2021.
If the title feels familiar you would not be wrong. The word “boogeyman” has been the subject of numerous movies all using the same moniker, at least ten on iMDB database before I stopped counting, but all of them dated post 1973 when the horror master Stephen King first published his 8-page short story in a magazine, followed five years later by its inclusion in one of his classic short story collections, “Night Shift”. So in one form or another this now 50 year old tale has become shorthand for lots of Hollywood concoctions that had nothing to do with it, but hey a good title is a good title.
