Question: For all you ghouls & ghost out there!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
who was the original 'Boogie Man' on any horror movie!. That was his 'nickname' so to speak!. Anyone guess!? Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
That goes very far back!. Here's an early one in films:
The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942) starring Boris Karloff
IMDb review:
Winnie Slade (Jeff Donnell), a young divorcee, buys an old historic house from nutty Professor Billings (Boris Karloff), who lives there with his daffy housekeeper and bizarre neighbors, in order to convert it into a hotel!. She allows them to continue to live on the property~unaware that the Professor continues to experiment unsuccessfully on traveling salesmen, the bodies of whom have filled the cellar!.
NOTE: Boris Karloff often was referred to as the Boogeyman (or however you want to spell it)!.
also known as the Boogeyman and the Bogeyman, there are even earlier horror movie references:
From Wikipedia:
Popular portrayals of bogeymen include Raymond Briggs' Fungus the Bogeyman!. The 1934 film "Babes in Toyland" based on Victor Herbert's 1903 operetta "Babes in Toyland", portrays criminals exiled to Bogeyland!. The Bogeymen are described as "horrible creatures; with hair all over their body and great big teeth where they eat you alive"!.
I imagine there could be even earlier film appearances and references to the Bogeyman/Boogeyman, including songs!.
Albert Fish, a real-life Boogeyman (it is one of his nicknames) has never been portrayed in movies perhaps because his crimes are far too horrific~outdoing even the fictional Hannibal Lecter! He began his criminal career in @1890! So, obviously the term goes waaaaay back!Www@Enter-QA@Com
