The Bogeyman is one of the most effective and prevalent monsters in the world, but did you know that this mysterious creature started as an allegory for whom?

While the Bogeyman has varied in its representation in films over the years, the word "bogey" emerged in the mid-19th century, originally as another name for the devil. One of the most popular versions of this monster comes from the classic 1993 film The Nightmare Before Christmas.
