Trivia[]
- In most legends, the Boogeyman has no actual physical form because he takes on the shape of his prey's worst fear. In Boogeyman, however, the Boogeyman has only one physical form.
- The Boogeyman in the game appears to be a more malicious and malevolent entity compared to the legend it was based on, as the legend about the Boogeyman claims that the Boogeyman scares naughty children to teach them a lesson, while the Boogeyman in the game slaughters and devours young children even if they’re not naughty.
- In the legend, the Boogeyman haunts multiple children, this version of the Boogeyman only haunts a single room.
