The Boogeyman

Candon Town, Oregon, early 1990s. Ash, a brave, intelligent 13-year-old boy, is sleeping when an intense, orange light appears from underneath the closet door in his room. The Boogeyman, a creature as tall as Ash, slim but muscled, a stripe of fur in the centre of his head and sharp fingernails, exits the closet. Ash wakes up, throws a snow globe at him, and knocks him unconscious. He then recruits his friends to help him carry the monster into the woods. The Boogeyman wakes up with amnesia as the kids try to sneak away. To avoid making him angry, the kids make a deal with him: they will help "Boogey" get his memory back if he agrees to participate in their secret project. Meanwhile, Boogey's three supernatural "brothers" arrive from another dimension to search for him in Ash's world. To help him regain his memory, the kids take Boogey to a psychologist to be hypnotized. Interrupted by his brothers, Boogey and Ash escape from the doctor's house and catch a bus to Los Angeles. Pursued by the doctor and an FBI agent, as well as the brothers, Ash and Boogey find themselves wandering around the city. As night falls, the doctor and FBI agent rescue Ash and Boogey before his brothers can catch them. They break into a school so the doctor can perform the hypnosis, but Boogey's brothers arrive for a final showdown. The FBI agent and Ash barricade themselves in the gym, ready to fight the monsters. Suddenly, Boogey appears, having finally regained his memory. He thanks Ash and returns to his dimension with his brothers. A month later, Ash, Dana, and Lester screen their short horror movie starring Boogey during Talent Night at their school. The monster watches it from a dark spot in the auditorium with no one in the audience realizing who he really is. The movie is a success. Boogey leaves the school and disappears into Ash's closet.
