The Boogeyman (1980 film)
The Boogeyman (released in the United Kingdom as The Bogey Man) is a 1980 American supernatural horror film directed by Ulli Lommel and starring Suzanna Love, John Carradine, and Ron James. The movie's title refers to the long-held superstition of bogeymen beings, and its plot concerns an adult brother and sister who are targeted by the ghost of their mother's deceased boyfriend which has been freed from a imprisoned mirror.
The film has received mixed to negative critical reviews, with criticism mainly regarding the heavy similarities from earlier horror films such as Halloween, The Exorcist, and The Amityville Horror. However, the movie became successful enough commercially to make the film-makers eager to release sequels, resulting in the film being followed by Boogeyman II and Return of the Boogeyman.
Plot
The film opens with Willy and Lacey as children watching their mother and her boyfriend preparing to have sex. When the mother notices them, she has her boyfriend tie Willy to his headboard before sending Lacey to her room. Lacey frees Willy from his bed and Willy enters their room and repeatedly stabs his mother's boyfriend with a chef knife in front of a large mirror.

The Boogie Man
(Deke Richards)
My mama told me when I was quite young
Don't be a bad boy and don't run
'Cause he's gonna get you
He's gonna get you
So little girl that's why I'm tellin' you
Don't you dare break my heart in two
Or he's gonna get you
He's gonna get you (Sing)
THE BOOGIE MAN is gonna get you
If you're messin' around in the dark
Playin' with my love and affection
That ain't smart, no that ain't smart, oh
So little girl that's why I'm tellin' you
Take my love, take my money
But don't you dare break my heart in two
Or he's gonna get you (He's gonna get you)
He's gonna get you (He's gonna get you) Sing
THE BOOGIE MAN is gonna get you
If you're messin' around in the dark
Playin' with my love and affection
That ain't smart, no that ain't smart, oh
Look out, look out, here he comes, there he is, run
The Boogie Man will get ya
The Boogie Man will get ya
The Boogie Man is gonna get ya (If you're a bad girl)
The Boogie Man is gonna get ya (Don't make me sad girl, oh)
Here he comes, here he comes, here he comes, here he comes, whoo

If you're messin' around in the dark
Playin' with my love and affection

Playin' with my love and affection
