The Boogey Man

Hard to believe that The Boogey Man is forty two years old, now. Starring Suzanna Love, who also co-wrote the film with the director, Ulli Lommel, who was also her husband.

The barefoot bondage scene, where Love's character is abducted from bed, was one of the very first big scenes that I had noticed, and I had actually sought out the film on video back in the 1980s just to get this.

I've owned this movie on VHS tape, Laser Disc, and now on DVD. I have two separate copies on DVD, from two different video companies.

So to say that this scene from Boogey Man is one of my all-time favorites would be putting it very mildly. The performance of Love, as she's being dragged down the hallway, and while tied to the bed is superb. The fact that she's barefoot throughout makes things even better.

But the film overall can be enjoyed around Halloween, especially if you dig low-budget, B-movie horror. The Boogey Man tried to blend the slasher/supernatural film genres--but even if it didn't work for you, it can still be a very enjoyable watch on, or around, Halloween.

But that bondage scene, though! *Chef's kiss* You can see the clip right here.
