Mr Boogie


Am I the only one who thinks Mr Boogie looks like a rejected member of Slipknot?

reply

that's probably because they based his makeup on metal band makeup. Though Slipknot isn't really metal.

Am I the only one who thinks Mr Boogie should have been BANNED FROM FILMS

My first thought was wrestler. That just goes to show that putting LESS of the actual monster in the movie is actually better in some cases.

reply

No you're not alone, I did too...there's at least 2 of us :) I also thought some of the music sounded like something they'd have as samples.

Boogie immediately makes me think "booger." Gross, but hardly scary.

I think the bad guy's name is the weakest part of this movie. Seriously the scariest, evil, chill inducing name you could come up with is Bughuul!

In the book version of the Exorcist, the kid was possessed by a demon named Pizzuzu. This is exactly why they scrapped it for the movie!

reply

Actually the demon in the Exorcist was called Pazuzu or Captain Howdy.

I sincerely apologize for misspelling the name of the demon. Hopefully he never reads this.

Mr. Boogie seems to be inspired by the corpse-paint of the members of Darkthrone, a black metal band. (Remember, when the symbols specialist mentions something about the symbolism not the work of "some Norwegian black metal band"). If you look at the album art of their album 'Blaze in the Northern Sky', you will see the resemblance of the person in the album cover to Mr. Boogie, very similar corpse-paint. And the fact that the band is/was very much into occult and stuff, it seems like a good guess.

That's a REALLY good guess! If that's all accurate, I bet you're right!

reply

Nope, you're not.

I put on a face like that and a black hoodie and come around a corner too quickly one night, you would all crap ur pants post haste.

And for the ppl sayin they don't like the name?? seriously? Mr. Boogie... as in the boogie man, hunting children... what 5 year old doesn't wonder if the boogie man might be in the closet? Then connecting it to some ancient preternatural entity named Bughuul that ppl would sacrifice kids to for their own safety.. then having the kids call him mr boogie cuz they're familiar now and it's easier for them to pronounce. genius much?

I don't get scared, watching movies or in real life - honestly, not since i was a kid, so the simple fact that this film creeped me out a bit is a stellar achievement.

I don't have high hopes for the sequel, but I'm still gonna watch it, maybe sharon will kick his ass... glad she's working again.
