10 Great Movie Monsters Trapped In Awful Horror Movies

10. The Boogeyman -- Boogeyman (2005)

Drawing on one of the most pervasive monsters of contemporary common folklore, Stephen Kay's Boogeyman seeks to flesh out all of our childhood nightmares by bringing the ultimate bedroom Big Bad onto our screens.

Unsurprisingly, the film features the boogeyman (or bogeyman, for those of us on the Tetley-swilling side of the Atlantic), a supernatural creature who lives under our beds and in our cupboards, emerging only at night to scare the living s**t out of anyone in reach and, in several cases, murdering the home's inhabitants and stealing the kids. Unfortunately, this boogeyman is confined by more than just a pair of plywood doors.

Make no mistake, the boogeyman is a great monster, but is ruined by some shoddy CGI and a desperate need on the part of the filmmakers to blow their own tension and show the bad guy out in the open. What makes the boogeyman scary -- in both this film and real life -- is that we don't really know what he looks like, we only know what he does.
