While you wait, Bloody Disgusting has been provided with an exclusive clip from the film’s bonus features package today, featuring insights from director Rob Savage (Host).
“This creature has to remain scary and slightly intangible by the end of the movie or else we’ve kind of ruined the Boogeyman,” Savage explains. “We needed to find a design that was scary and familiar but also had an element about it that was slightly unknowable but spoke to something existentially terrifying.”
