This October ‘Cucuy: The Boogeyman’ Is Coming To SyFy

Cucuy: The Boogeyman is coming to SyFy this October! Hybrid Entertainment’s original movie is a timely twist on the indelible legend of a story young children are told by their mothers about a Latin American boogeyman known as the Cucuy who would come at night to snatch misbehaving children and take them back to his cave to be eaten. Directed by Peter Sullivan (who helmed Stan Lee’s The Sandman, SyFy’s runaway hit last October), this highly anticipated seasonal gem is set in fictional Glimmer Peak, the kind of small town where nothing ever happens. As the Cucuy, the Mexican Boogeyman, is known for preying on misbehaving children, we chose to revolve the story around a troubled teen currently on house arrest, says director Sullivan. We shot in an abandoned neighborhood on the site of a former state hospital in Pomona, CA. The facility, no longer in use, provided an additional uneasy quality to the film’s aesthetic,” he emphasized. “The holiday

High school becomes literal hell for a group of young women who tap into witchcraft in order to fulfill their every wish in The Witch Files. “While spending a dull detention together, an unlikely gathering of teenage girls discovers one of their group may possess supernatural powers.
