Why Is It A Hate Sink?[]
- The Boogeyman psychologically torments its victims, preferably children, until it eventually kills them.
- It kills Lester Billing's youngest child in their crib by mimicking the voice of the baby's father.
- It psychologically terrorizes the Harper family by making Sadie look crazy to her peers and taking Sawyer and tossing her into the television set knocking her unconscious.
- It is unknown why the Boogeyman does what it does. It can easily kill an entire family but prefers to toy with them before killing them the only likely reason being that it takes satisfaction out of what it does.
