How Stephen King Adaptation ‘The Boogeyman’ Scared Up A Hard PG-13

“I can’t believe we got away with it,” exclaimed The Boogeyman director Rob Savage, referring to the PG-13-rated supernatural horror film.

“We always thought of this as R, but we knew we had a PG-13 rating,” recalled co-producer Dan Levine. “We definitely push the limit, and we thought we could get a lot more pushback on things to trim, but luckily we didn’t get those calls. When I watch it, I think it is R-rated.”
