They Thought It Was Over...It's Not!

Because once is not enough, here's a trailer for Revenge of the Bogey Man:



Flashback, flashback, flashback...to, like, two nights ago!  The concept of overusing footage from the first film for a cheapjack sequel is not unique (rumor has it that the makers of Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 were originally told to just re-edit the first and call it a sequel), this case is interesting because Ulli Lommel didn't want to make a sequel.  After pressure from all sides (and an offer from major studio Paramount, which was turned down), Lommel decided to make an independent sequel and satire Hollywood in the process...at least, that was the idea.  Did he succeed?  Only one way to find out.

Boogeyman 2 is up next, in its' original Nasty, Bruce Starr-directed version on good old VHS.  Have you held on to your VCR?  Don't you know you could very well need it?  I do.  Because my name's Justin.  JustinCase.
