25 Huge Movies Disney Just Cancelled

7. The Boogyeman

Stephen King The Boogeyman
Wiki

If the Pet Sematary remake had done as well as Andy Muschietti's It remake did (and as well as the sequel is destined to), it's hard to imagine that Disney would have been so happy to can a Stephen King adaptation, but they obviously don't see The Boogeyman as enough of a draw to warrant continued attention.

This one also had an added selling point to it, in that the talent involved from the outset should have made it even more interesting. As recently as 2018, A Quiet Place writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods announced that they would be adapting the story, and given how well that film went down, you'd have thought Disney might give them some slack to try with King's short story. No dice, sadly.
