製作花絮
大導炮製恐怖佳作
本片其中一位監製是憑執導《蜘蛛俠》（Spider-Man）系列而晉身荷李活一級大導演行列的森雷美（Sam Raimi），電影是森雷美旗下製作公司Ghost House Picture製作的第二部作品（第一部是改編自同名日本電影的全美票房冠軍作品《不死咒怨》（The Grudge）），毫無疑問森是一位出色的恐怖片大師，過往執導的《屍變》（Evil Dead）、《鬼玩人》（Evil Dead II）及《變形黑俠》（Darkman）等，都是經典恐怖佳作，所以他今次可算是重回老本行。

而本片男主角巴利沃森（Barry Watson）知道有機會與森雷美合作，便立即答應演出，他說：「我是其電影的忠實影迷，我記得當我第一次看《屍變》及《鬼玩人》，我已經很喜歡，巧合地早前我剛買了電影的特別版DVD，不久我就獲得演出此片的機會，當我知道史提芬基（Stephen T. Kay）會擔任導演，我就說：『請帶我到紐西蘭吧！』」

吸納日本鬼片精髓
森雷美及本片另一監製洛達伯克（Rob Tapert）看過劇本後，十分喜歡，他們隨即希望製作一部有特色，兼包含美國妖怪及亞洲鬼片元素的恐怖電影，所以本片背景發生在賓夕凡尼亞州郊區的一間破舊維多利亞哥德式大屋內，而電影的講故事手法則是從不少亞洲恐怖電影如《鬼水凶靈》、《見鬼》及《惹鬼回路》中得到靈感。他倆大膽脫離荷李活典型的妖怪電影框架，另闢恐怖電影的新門徑，洛達伯克說：「我們都被日本鬼片深深影響，因此何不改改原有劇本，包攬一些來自亞洲的創新構思，我們覺得此片可以加入『這究竟是真還是假？』這些心理層面。」
幕後班底經驗豐富
本片幕後班底絕對不容忽視，大部份都曾經與導演森雷美合作過，當中化妝及髮型監督Marjory Hamlin曾負責彼得積遜（Peter Jackson）執導的超級巨製《魔戒》（The Lord of the Rings）系列的化妝工作；而視覺效果製作公司Oktobor最近的作品是享譽國際的紐西蘭電影《馭鯨少女》（Whale Rider），之前又與Weta數碼工作室攜手製作《魔戒》系列的視覺效果。本片其餘大部份工作人員，都曾參與《魔戒》系列或《最後武士》（The Last Samurai）等大製作。

赴紐西蘭實地取景
本片大部份場景都是在紐西蘭的奧克蘭拍攝，拍攝時間超過10個寒冷星期。 為了拍攝主角添出生地的場面，製作人特別到奧克蘭附近的小鎮取景，其中添所住的房子就是位於奧克蘭以南郊區、建於1850年的維多利亞哥德式木造古舊大屋，這房子混合了美國、英國及印第安的風格，負責美術的羅拔基利斯（Robert Gillies）認為房子位處郊外，而且風格近似相同時代的美國房屋，因此最適合本片拍攝。

此外，添的辦公室、寓所及寓所附近的公園，都是在奧克蘭取景，他的辦公室是一間建築公司的辦公室；寓所由一間現代美術館變身而成；晚上步行回家時惡鬼出現追趕他的公園，是富有維多利亞時代設計的阿爾拔公園。至於謝絲嘉父母的居所則是高級郊區的豪宅，隔鄰是紐西蘭總督官邸。

室內場景製作認真
添的大屋內是搭建場景，製作一絲不苟。其設計同樣依照維多利亞哥德式，內有堂皇亮麗的木製樓梯、裝飾華麗的天花板及很多暗角、門口和儲物室。羅拔又選用特別的牆紙及掛畫，以增加屋內的陰森氣氛。羅拔同時限制室內色調，刻意營造可一間杳無人跡大屋的可怕及破落氣氛，他說：「這裡有一點蕭條及冰冷的感覺，只有藍色及綠色，加重了添在屋內孤身一人的感覺。」攝影師波比布高斯基（Bobby Bukowski）則透過燈光製造出不同效果的恐怖氣氛。

恐怖惡鬼神出鬼沒
由演員兼舞蹈員安德魯高化（Andrew Glover）扮演的惡鬼是本片的關鍵角色，視覺效果工作室Oktobor特別為其動作及造型加以改良及潤色。安德魯扮演這角色頗為辛苦，每次都須用上3小時化妝。在導演史提芬要求下，他開拍前或拍攝期間都沒有看Oktobor的數碼測試，而所有惡鬼出現的場面都是在綠屏幕前拍攝，史提芬認為這惡鬼身份不明，充滿神秘感，因此要求Oktobor創作一個像幽靈般的東西，動作迅速、難以預測，就像在任何地方都可以登陸的旋風。因為史提芬覺得只看見惡鬼的輪廓反而更恐怖，Oktobor為達致完美效果，動用12位視線效果人員，負責不同方面的影像。

特技營造強烈震動
添與惡鬼在睡房中對抗的場面，製作人用上一些機械裝置以營造特別效果。負責統籌特別效果的班頓杜利（Brendon Durey）表示，添睡房的震動效果，相當於一場尼克特制4至5級的地震。他們把整個睡房的場景托起，然後再以交流電震動引擎製造出一連串震動的動作，震動器有不同速度，製造出不規則不穩定的震動效果。由於屋內的傢具及道具都以金屬絲連接，所以能夠任意搖動。

專業化妝效果迫真
謝絲嘉在旅館浴室遭遇不測的一場戲，一眾化妝師及扮演謝絲嘉的杜莉麥莎特（Tory Mussett）都付出很大努力。這場戲足足拍了3日，製作嚴謹認真。 單是浴缸水的顏色都十分講究，作了多項測試。工作人員最先是將顏料、槭樹汁、泥土、樹葉及樹枝，並加入食用染料於浴缸水中，但最終因令到杜莉的頭髮濕水後變成棕色，效果不理想而被化妝總監馬祖莉韓蓮（Marjory Hamlin）拒絕，最後須由特別效果小組，混入特別顏料加水攪拌成一種致死的模樣。至於杜莉的化妝，為突顯她受驚而死，化妝師特別在她面上加上遇溺及窒息出現的藍色瘀斑及紅色血管，令死狀更迫真恐怖。

惡鬼的化妝同樣經過多次的設計改良，才成為大家所看見瘦削、黑暗、禿頭及無眼眉的恐怖造型。原來最初的惡鬼是戴上黑色長假髮，面色較蒼白，再加一些牙齒。但效果一般，之後馬祖莉嘗試一個淺灰色的版本，但都不太理想。最後終創造出一個灰黑色及帶有泥土質感的造型，而專業的安德魯也同意剃去頭髮及眼眉，馬祖莉再為他加上人造眼袋，突出其瘦削及毛骨悚然的感覺，最後再由Oktobor加上彷如失明的特別效果，省去安德魯戴上特別鏡片的麻煩。

BOOGEYMAN

In this chilling horror movie, Barry Watson stars as Tim, a young man who must return to

his childhood home and confront the terrifying visions that have haunted him all his life. BOOGEYMAN is a production of Ghost House Pictures, the genre label formed by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Senator International.

SYNOPSIS

On the surface, Tim (Barry Watson) is a seemingly normal, twenty-something guy. He's got a decent job and is moving fast in his relationship with his girlfriend Jessica (Tory Mussett). But an intense, paralyzing fear that has been terrifying him since childhood is tearing him apart. And it's getting worse every day.

When Tim was eight, something devastating happened. Each night his dad would put him to sleep with a bedtime story. Many of these stories teetered on the brink of horror, much to his mom's chagrin, but Tim and his father made sure his bedroom was safe when the lights finally went out. Until that one fateful night. As Tim watched from his bed, paralyzed with fear, his father was violently sucked into the closet, and was never seen or heard from again.

Tim is terrified that the Boogeyman will someday return and take him as he has taken so many before. Until now he has coped by eliminating opportunities for the Boogeyman to get to him. He has removed every dark corner in his apartment; there are no closets, and his bed is on the floor so the evil force has nowhere to hide. The thought of getting a jacket out of a closet sends him spiraling into terror. When Tim is forced to move outside his comfort zone on a Thanksgiving trip to Jessica's parents, he leaves this protected world and things begin to fall apart.

After a disturbing dream about his estranged mother (Lucy Lawless), Tim awakens in a cold sweat, hunched over on the floor of the guest room. Jessica tries to comfort him, but it only makes things worse. His cell phone rings. His mother has died.

Forced to return to his childhood home, a looming and run-down Victorian Gothic house in the countryside, Tim must tie up family matters with his Uncle Mike (Philip Gordon) and face the source of all his fears.

After the funeral, Tim visits the children's psychiatric hospital where he spent many years after the disappearance of his father. His former counselor reiterates what she has known all along - that in order to get over his fears, he must spend a night alone in the old house and confront things head on.

Tim tries to relax and enjoy a reunion with his childhood best friend, Kate (Emily Deschanel) and for a brief moment feels everything is under control. But as Tim relives the past, drifting through the dark and empty house and rummaging through old photographs, memories take over and his crippling fear returns. He is sure he is being watched by the same evil being that has terrorized him his entire life.

Tim becomes irrational and delusional to everyone around him, but no one can save him … or themselves. His loved ones start disappearing around him and his life is shattered all over again. He knows that the only way to stop the nightmare is to confront the evil presence once and for all.

Tim turns to the only other person who understands and shares his fear, Franny (Skye McCole Bartusiak), a precocious and mysterious young girl who first appeared at his mother's funeral. It turns out that Tim and the little girl have something in common. She is the only one who sees what he sees…….and Tim draws on Franny's courage and advice to face the Boogeyman once and for all. But when he discovers that Franny was abducted years ago and has been missing ever since, he realizes that the line separating what is real and what is not has vanished. Now Tim must fight to put the evil force and the demons to rest in a final battle to save his life. But how can he know what is real and what is imagined?

Sam Raimi presents a Ghost House Pictures Production, Boogeyman. Directed by Stephen Kay (Get Carter, The Last Time I Committed Suicide), the screenplay is by Eric Kripke and Juliet Snowden & Stiles White, from a story by Kripke. Boogeyman is produced by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, with Joe Drake, Nathan Kahane, Carsten Lorenz, Steve Hein and Gary Bryman executive producing.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Boogeyman is the second film produced by Ghost House Pictures, the genre label formed by producers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert and Senator International. Ghost House Pictures is dedicated to producing commercial feature films with horror, sci-fi and fantasy themes. Raimi and Tapert are known for their distinctive, groundbreaking approach to the horror genre. It was their heritage of 1980s cult hits Evil Dead, Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn, Darkman and Army of Darkness that raised the bar for all horror films. Tapert says he and Raimi saw the formation of Ghost House Pictures as "a great opportunity. Sam and I have always been fans of horror, so this is a return to our roots."

When Ghost House Pictures was formed, Senator had already optioned Boogeyman, which Tapert says immediately appealed to him and Raimi and their vision of making a film with a distinctive kind of horror, combining elements of American monster and Asian ghost movies. Set in rural Pennsylvania, largely in a run-down Victorian Gothic house, Boogeyman is a constantly escalating, Hollywood-style horror movie inspired by the psychologically-based storytelling of recent Japanese and Korean horror movies, like Dark Water, The Eye and Pulse.

Raimi and Tapert are again venturing into new aspects of the genre by branching away from the stereotypical monster movie category and giving Boogeyman a strong dramatic story based on a likeable character dealing with a terrifying problem.

Tapert notes, "We had been heavily influenced by Japanese ghost movies and by changing the original script to embrace some of the groundbreaking ideas coming out of Asia, we felt we could play on the 'is it real or is it not?' psychological aspects."

Raimi and Tapert's unmatched horror track record is what attracted director Stephen Kay to the project. Kay confesses, "I've never done anything even remotely similar to a horror movie, but I love watching them. When this came to me and I was told Sam and Rob were the producers I said 'well, if I'm going to be doing a horror movie, these are the guys to make a horror movie with."

Similarly, Raimi and Tapert felt that director Stephen Kay would bring something different to the movie, and elevate it from the typical horror genre style. Says Tapert, "We saw his previous movies and really liked the way he worked with actors. We thought we could give him the things that we knew how to do in the horror genre and he would bring something to it that was unique, which was his ability to work with actors and get performances in a genre that you just don't expect those kinds of performances."

Boogeyman is a layered film, with exceptional horror frights and "don't look" terrifying moments bolstered by characterization and storytelling strength more likely to be found in a psychological drama. Following the Japanese tradition, there's skin crawling tension and intense, visceral frights, set in a compelling dramatic story. Raimi and Tapert told Stephen Kay that in addition to the tension and the emotional impact of drama, they wanted 13 big frights in the movie.

Kay describes Boogeyman as a coming-of-age horror story. "It's a horror movie about Tim's personal battle with fear," says the director. "The boogeyman is the personification of fear. He's blurred, he's ambiguous, he's the unknown. He's simultaneously a universal fear and an incredibly specific fear. He's different for everybody, and this is Tim's particular version."

Kay set out to create Tim as a real person, living in a real world, whose fears would be believable and therefore even scarier because they arise out of normal, ordinary things. Like The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, Kay was able to create real people that audiences connect with and then let them get sucked into their terror.

"If you met Tim on the street in the daytime, you'd think he's a good-looking, cool young guy," says the director. "If you went back to his house, you might not notice it at first but he's got no closets and the bed is on the floor. If you were in a hotel with him at night, you'd probably notice some stranger stuff because now he's out of his element and there's a dust ruffle around the bed, the closet door might be partly open and he'll find it hard to get to sleep."

Tapert says that on a metaphysical level, the movie is "a journey to try to overcome your childhood traumas and move into your adulthood. If you don't find a way to deal with your childhood fears, they will continue to haunt you and influence your life and make you emotionally unable to grow up. Most of us move on, but Tim hasn't. Something has impacted him tremendously and he has to confront it in order to have a normal life. Until he has that physical confrontation with his own personal boogeyman that he created as an eight-year-old boy, he's not able to do those things that you need to do as an adult to live in the normal world."

Lead actor Barry Watson was thrilled about the opportunity to work with Raimi and Tapert. "I'm a big fan of their movies," he says. "I remember when I first saw Evil Dead and Evil Dead II - I loved them. Coincidentally, I bought the special edition DVD box set right before I got the part in this movie. When I heard that Stephen was attached to the film, I jumped at the opportunity. I said 'put me on a plane to New Zealand!"

Kay and Tapert both believe that Watson brings a "nice guy" quality and a sense of realness to the role of Tim, which is crucial in getting the audience to believe in him enough to go with him on this journey. "The role required someone who is inherently likeable because his problems are fairly enormous and could turn people off," says Kay. "But Barry has made it real and understandable."

Watson says the role of Tim was challenging for him on two levels: "It's a tremendous challenge being in every scene. There's a lot of work to do. And because of that, there's a greater sense of responsibility on my part. It was very emotional creating this journey for Tim to come to terms with himself and his problems. He held onto his childhood fears for so long that it's now time as an adult to deal with them."

Emily Deschanel enjoyed working on this film, particularly because of her character and because of Stephen Kay: "He's really smart and he knows how to keep it light on set. He's like a big kid. I think as a director you have to have a view of the world that is like a child's, discovering things all the time, and I think he has that." She says of her character, Kate: "She's a country girl and is very straightforward and says what she thinks. I think of her as the voice of reason. She brings in some common sense and the audience needs that because you're not sure if Tim's going crazy or if he's really fighting the boogeyman. So, she kind of represents the audience and I like that."

Stephen Kay enjoyed being able to cast Emily against type. In a more conventional film, Kate would be cast as the girl next door who is innocent, open and understanding beyond reproach. And Emily's not that. She's a complicated woman and she's a complicated actress. She's very much in the moment and real. So her relationship becomes real and unpredictable and you don't know where the character is going to end up."

As Tim's girlfriend, Jessica, Australian actress Tory Mussett represents the good life Tim could be having if he would let go and move on from his fears. "She thinks she can save him from his troubles," says the actress, "but she discovers that he's just too much work and it's too hard for her. She likes him a lot and she spends a lot of the time trying to get him to love her and let her help him, but he's lost in his fear, so she becomes very frustrated."

Working with Stephen Kay was a great experience for her. "Stephen is a fantastic director. He's an actor, so he's an actor's director. He has a clear idea of what he wants and he's very good at expressing that."

As Tim's mother, Lucy Lawless relished playing such an influential, memorable character as Tim's mother: "I was working in Europe and Rob Tapert called and asked if I wanted to play a drug-addled mother who gives up custody of her son. I'm all for playing those small gems of parts which are attention grabbing, colorful roles, rather than having to sustain a whole movie. This is one of those terrific little parts, so of course I grabbed it."

Nine year-old Skye McCole Bartusiak plays Franny and pays tribute to Stephen Kay: "He's the youngest director I've ever worked with, so he's a lot of fun," says the actress. "Sometimes you get directors who don't understand how to talk to kids, but because Stephen has a daughter my age, he talked to me in kid language, so I think because of that I could give him more." Kay returns the compliment: "Skye is a very trusting actor. Her spirit is so open that if you give her a couple of little words and point her in a direction, she goes there. The dynamic between Franny and Tim is the emotional core of the movie, because if you've got a guy who's dealing with issues created in his childhood, you need to have a child for him to work it through with."

Boogeyman was shot in New Zealand at exterior locations in and around Auckland and in studios in the western Waitakere City, where Raimi and Tapert's hit syndicated television series Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys were shot from 1993 to2001. Filming took place over 10 weeks from June to late August 2003. Most exterior scenes were shot at night over two weeks of challenging mid-winter weather.

Raimi, Tapert and Kay assembled a talented team to bring their vision to reality. Director of photography Bobby Bukowski (Arlington Road, Dogfight) worked with Kay on The Last Time I Committed Suicide and Wasted. Production designer Robert Gillies, costume designer Jane Holland and line producer Chloe Smith are New Zealanders, Xena and Hercules alumni who have worked closely with Tapert on all of his and Raimi's New Zealand-based productions. Make-up/hair supervisor Marjory Hamlin recently worked on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings and Jane Campion's The Piano. Editor John Axelrad's recent work includes Changing Hearts starring Lauren Holly and Faye Dunaway and What's the Worst That Could Happen? starring Martin Lawrence and Danny DeVito. Visual effects company Oktobor's most recent film was the New Zealand movie Whale Rider and they worked closely with Weta Digital on The Lord of the Rings. Most of the rest of the crew, all New Zealanders, worked on Xena and Hercules, Lord of the Rings or the New Zealand section of Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai.

Exterior locations included two different small towns near Auckland - Waitakere and Pokeno - and were used as different parts of Tim's hometown. The exterior of Tim's house was a real home in a rural setting in Karaka, a 40-minute drive south of Auckland City. It was a genuine Victorian Gothic style wooden colonial house, originally built in 1850 in a plush Auckland suburb and relocated to the countryside by its present owner, funeral director Ian Ferguson.

Ferguson says the house is unique in that it's a mixture of American, English and Indian styling cues put together by a clever architect and is a precursor to the very popular villa style which arrived in Auckland around 1860. Production designer Robert Gillies says this house was perfect for Boogeyman, since it was located in the countryside and its style is similar to American houses of similar vintage.

After the exterior house was settled upon, the interior was built in the studios, along the same Victorian Gothic lines. There's an imposing polished timber staircase, high ornate ceilings, and lots of dark corners, doorways and closets, which may or may not conceal the boogeyman. Gillies says he accentuated the inherently macabre aspects of domestic situations in order to create the perfect backdrop. For example, "I've chosen slightly over-the-top wallpaper patterns. I reckon every kid has lain in bed and looked at the wallpaper. I used to do it at my grandparent's house - look at the wallpaper and get a bit flipped out. There are also devices that we used to cast big shadows, like macrame plant holders, which, when looked at in a certain way, resemble big humanly hand crafted spider webs. Or a painting that looks one way when it's hung, but if you put it leaning up against the wall looks like something else. These slightly weird objects give elements of the unexpected as the camera creeps around the house, moving in and around dark shadowy shapes."

Gillies restricted the color palette to deliberately create the macabre, run-down atmosphere of an uncared-for, uninhabited house. "The details of this world are slightly off, slightly cold. There are blues and greens but no reds, yellows or white. The house on the inside has been scaled up from what it is on the outside to accentuate the sense that Tim is alone in a big old house."

Tim's office, his apartment, and the large park nearby were all filmed in Auckland. His office is in real life occupied by an architectural firm and his apartment was a modern art gallery dressed as living space. The park where Tim is chased by the boogeyman during his nervous nighttime walk home from work is Albert Park in the centre of Auckland, which retains its Victorian-era design and landscaping. Jessica's parents' home was a large, plushly decorated house found in one of the city's old-established up-market suburbs, next door to Government House, home of the New Zealand Governor General.

Cinematographer Bobby Bukowski worked hard on creating effects through lighting. He describes it as delicate and tender. "Stephen Kay and I were curious about approaching this genre because neither of us has shot a horror movie before. We thought 'What if we shot a horror movie that was truly beautiful, wouldn't that be evocative?' Stephen wanted to base it in reality, so he kept things very subdued with a deliberate kind of tempo. There are very slow creeps that we do on the dolly, and the way the light slowly moves through branches, signifying the dread that Tim feels that was the main part of the mood."

"Bobby and I have worked together before and he's one of my dearest friends," adds Kay. "I wanted to work with him on this film because he is so good at creating mood with images. He's a filmmaker in his heart and he is deeply concerned with the emotion of the scene. He treats the lighting like an emotional painting. The feeling of the movie is mysterious, like a Francis Bacon painting. Our goal was to create things that have that look of the unknown about them. Bacon's work is evocative emotionally and it's also just plain creepy. They're inherently disconcerting images, there's something about the quality of the light or the texture of the color that makes it instantly disturbing. So rather than approaching this film in a gory or flashy way, we went for a much more subdued, disturbing quality. We found that the more you fracture the image the more compelling the image becomes."

"It's interesting because there was this face of horror that was defined by Edvard Munch's painting 'The Scream,' says Kay. "We looked for new visuals. Scream and Scary Movie have deconstructed and demystified the horror movie, so you have to look for the new language of horror movies and it's coming to the rest of the world via Japan and Korea."

New Zealand-based visual effects house Oktobor was charged with the task of bringing the elusive and ephemeral 'boogeyman' to the screen. During filming, the boogeyman was played as a character by actor/dancer Andrew Glover, whose movements and look were later enhanced, twisted and embellished by Oktobor. Glover, who in addition to his dance background, has done mask work, says he was inspired by the person that he saw in the mirror after his three-hour make-up transformation. "The make-up process is as if they carved a mask onto my face and so at the end of three hours I looked at myself and was inspired to do and be so many more things that I would have been able to be without the make-up."

Glover's role was quite physical, and much of his acting was done with a stunt harness. At Kay's request, Glover didn't look at the digital tests from Oktobor during or before the shoot.

All scenes with the boogeyman were shot against a green screen. Visual effects supervisor Brent Gilmartin from Oktobor notes that the process of devising the boogeyman was long and ever evolving. Kay asked Gilmartin and his team to create a figure that was ghost-like but not the ghost of someone. He explained that the boogeyman is unknown; that the mystery makes him scary. He wanted glimpses of his features at first, but at the end, when he was weaker, he wanted to see more of him. He wanted his energy pent-up like a cat about to pounce, quiet at first, and then an explosion of energy. He had to be a shape-shifter who moves through time and space (but faster), and is unpredictable, like a tornado that can touch down in any place. Kay felt that the key to the boogeyman was to see very little of him. A silhouette would be much scarier. Gilmartin used 12 visual effects artists to accomplish this goal; each working on a different aspect of the image.

Boogeyman also called for mechanical special effects, most spectacularly for the climactic scene of Tim's showdown with the boogeyman, in which his bedroom is shaken with a force resembling a powerful earthquake. Special effects coordinator Brendon Durey says the shaking effect could be equivalent to a 4 or 5 earthquake on the Richter Scale. Durey and his team rigged a mechanically controlled replica of the bedroom set. "We floated the whole set on air shocks and then we had a shaker motor, which is basically an alternating current motor, spin in a circular motion and shake the whole set. The motor is variable speed, so the movement could be erratic, the furniture and props are wired individually so we moved them around and a ceiling panel was rigged to be released on cue to come down in a cloud of plaster dust." The maelstrom generated by the boogeyman sucking everything from the room into the closet was created by a combination of mechanical and visual effects work, involving wires as well as green screen.

Special effects, make-up and stunts were all involved and Tory Mussett's endurance was tested during Jessica's traumatic experience in a motel bathroom. The scene called for three days of intensive filming in a bathtub, in which Mussett did her own stunt harness work and collected several bruises. The bath was filled with a broth comprising non-toxic black ochre and brown tempera paint powder, maple syrup, mud, leaves and twigs. A test batch of water containing food coloring was rejected by make-up supervisor Marjory Hamlin because when tested on a piece of Mussett's hair, it turned her from bright blonde to brown. The bath water was rigged by the special effects team to churn and bubble in a lethal looking way.

Adding to the discomfort of the bath scene, Mussett was made up in the Boogeyman signature 'blue and veiny' style - a blue base with prominent red facial and neck veins - which signifies being scared to death from the inside. Make-up supervisor Marjory Hamlin says: "We researched the look of drowning and asphyxiation and came up with a blotchy blue. The veins are an exaggeration, though. We've taken a bit of artistic license in putting veins where we think they look good because most of the actual face veins are buried under muscles and that was a bit boring."

Hamlin also went into supernatural realms with the aged make-up for Lucy Lawless who, in her first appearance, haunts Tim in bed at night. He thinks he's cuddling up to his sexy girlfriend Jessica, but to his (and the audience's) absolute horror, the person in his bed is his mother, grotesquely aged to about 80.

The make-up for Andrew Glover as the Boogeyman went through several transitions before settling on the eventual gaunt, blackened, shaved head and no-eyebrows look. Hamlin says: "The initial direction was pale and hollow with a long dark wig. I put in some generic teeth and they worked so we had some made. Next we created a darker version in light grey, but we wanted to go even darker and eventually went with dark grey and black with a muddy sort of texture. I tried a bald cap on him and that looked good so Andrew, being a wonderful dedicated actor, agreed to shave his head and eyebrows. I made little prosthetic eyebags for him to accentuate his gaunt, shadowy look. And Oktobor created the fogged-over blind eye effect, so there was no need for lenses."
