'Children, have you ever met the Bogeyman before?
No, of course you haven't, for you're much too good I'm sure.

Hush, hush, hush,
Here comes the Bogeyman!
Don't let him come too close to you,
he'll catch you if he can.

Just pretend that you're not there
Or you will find that Boogeyman
Will take away your soul
And leave an empty shell.

Don't you look into his eyes under the hood so blue,
Nor take the toys that he will offer you.
Don't ever come with him because he would
Give you only suffering for good.

Hush-hush! Just be silent,
He'll think that you're asleep.
Or he will drag you into
Darkness infinite and deep.

When the shadows of the evening creep across the sky,
And your mommy comes upstairs to sing a lullaby,
Don't you think that you are safe because the Bogeyman
Will come as soon as she has left you all alone.

Here's One Way,
to stay alive without fail:
Keep all the lights on and just pray
To make it till the day!'


Insipred by and based on the CGI short animation with the same title (check it out - it's pretty creepy). The story gives a short glimpse of how a creature from the Other Side hunts living souls and drags them into his realm of darkness and, probably, feeds on them. This powerful otherworldly creature cannot be stopped by anything but light. Oh, and he prefers children for some reason.

NECA's Deacon served as the base, with legs resculpted and the head sculpted from scratch. The shoulders were modified to be able to swivel back&forward.
Painted black and drybrushed with dark red; eyes - white and translucent blue for glowing effect; sandy yellow for nails.
The crotch bandages and the bag made from old shorts, the hoodie - from new shorts. Scratched and shaded for worn look.
The bag was filled with toys (most of them sculpted from scratch, Lil Sister's BD toy used for photo).
A porcelain-like baby head (accurate to the film) was planned, but I wanted to give it a pair of realistic doll eyes, and I am unable to get it untill the 15th. So there will be an update or a seperate submition with the head.
When the contest is over I'll post some more photos on my Twitter.


P.S. Sorry if my poorly rhymed Henry Hall parody spoiled your memories of the song.
