World Premiere | Director Brad Michael Elmore in attendance for a post-film Q&A
Set over the course of one summer weekend, a bat-wielding, masked killer in a rusted- out black Cadillac weaves in and out of three interlocking stories awash in sex, drugs, punk rock, black magic, and broken homes.
Starring James Paxton (son of the late, great Bill Paxton) and produced by ROGUE ONE screenwriter Chris Weitz, who discovered writer/director Brad Michael Elmore's micro-budget debut THE WOLFMAN'S HAMMER on Youtube, the film was eventually brought to the prolific Blumhouse team who hopped on board enthusiastically. That's one hell of a creative force, and because of it BOOGEYMAN POP oozes with everything we love about genre cinema. Our favorite festival moments are the ones when we get to discover the emergence of a talented & unique filmmaker. This is punk rock filmmaking at its finest, and it's one of those festival moments you won't want to miss.
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
