A mix between The Amityville Horror and Halloween, The Boogeyman (1980) is a perplexing supernatural slasher. There are plenty of good moments, however, there are just as many head-scratching sequences. And it goes far beyond the first one. The sequels are very more polarizing. It's a wild ride and no matter how bad these films are, they are at least better than the 2005 Boogeyman!

It seems like late 1987 and 1988 were the prime years to rip off A Nightmare on Elm Street. There are so many films within this small span that tried to ride the coattails of the Krueger films. I’ve already covered Bad Dreams, and 976-Evil, but there’s also Slumber Party Massacre 2, Prom night 2, Don’t Panic, and Slaughterhouse Rock. It makes sense that there was a flood of clones being released because Krueger was on top of the world during these years. Dream Warriors came out in ‘87 which was the highest-grossing elm street film by a wide margin, and then just a year later, Nightmare 4 the Dream Master surpassed the box office success of part 3, big time. The franchise was trending up and money was rolling in. It seemed like Freddy Krueger could do no wrong and fans were hungry for the burned dream demon. Speaking of which... The UK film, Dream Demon from 1988 is yet another example of taking the elm street formula and trying to cash in on it. But did Dream Demon plagiarise A Nightmare on Elm Street? Well, when talking about proclaimed elm street rip-offs, we first must dip our toes into the surface-level similarities before we dive into the plot and really break down the differences. And of course, we’ll end with the rating that will determine if Dream Demon is really an Elm Street rip-off.
