The Boogeyman’s ending, explained
Movies based on the macabre works of Stephen King tend to have memorable endings. From the unlikely Mother's Day movie Carrie's "hand from the grave" moment to Pet Sematary's undead spouse returning home, King's movies always leave the audience breathless with suspense and speechless with horror.
The Boogeyman, the latest in a long line of Stephen King adaptations, promises more of the same. The movie, about two sisters battling an unseen entity in their new home, looks just as scary as other 2023 horror hits like Skinamarinkand Evil Dead Rise, and promises an ending to remember. Digital Trends explains The Boogeyman's ending, including who dies and what exactly is haunting the film's lead heroines. What is The Boogeyman about?
The Boogeyman is the titular main antagonist of the 2023 horror film The Boogeyman, based off the Stephen King short story of the same name. It is a monster of unknown origin that targets and murders entire families, usually ones that have experienced a loss of a family member.
Interestingly, while The Boogeyman isn't based on a true experience, Savage has been influenced by another horror movie and how it used the night as a cover to kill.
Why Fire Is The Boogeyman's Weakness. The Boogeyman stays in the shadows and shies away from light, therefore it can only be bested by fire. Fire is the original source of light discovered by humans, and brought people out of the dark at night.

No, the Boogeyman* doesn't eat real worms in WWE as he hasn't been on the active roster for over ten years. When he was an active member of the roster, yes, he did eat real worms as part of his character. You could always tell they were real from looking (either real or the world's best fakes, anyway).
The Boogeyman might fall short of its terrifying source material, but a spooky atmosphere and some solid performances help keep the chills coming. If you don't mind spending a lot of time waiting for things to happen, The Boogeyman is worth watching for some solid jump scares.
In America, Bogeyman urban legends describe him as a scary figure with no consistent shape or form. He hides under the bed, in dark corners, or in a child's closet waiting for his prey.

However, at the very beginning of the book, Chizmar divulges that Chasing the Boogeyman is indeed a work of fiction. Mystery solved.

The Boogeyman turns out to be a real demonic force. The demon threatens the ones he loves, so Tim decides to take action. BOOGEYMAN the movie is filled with scary scenes and scary supernatural encounters with the demonic title character.
The boogeyman is not real, but most cultures have some version of the boogeyman myth, although they go by many, many different names.

Taken directly from the pages of King's exquisite 1978 debut short story collection, Night Shift, "The Boogeyman" tells the story of one of the most loathsome characters (I don't say that lightly,) I've ever come across, as he and his wife, Rita, are afflicted with any parent's worst nightmare.

Baba Yaga is not the "Russian boogeyman" at all, she is a different being altogether. That said, considering John Wick's kill count, the Baba Yaga is not that different from the modern-day assassin.
