Why am I interested in these boogie monsters?
Through research, I have found that the boogie monster myth is universal. There is no specific "look" to this monster, it changes by culture and location. Each individual child's imagination fuels the fear of the monster. One thing is consistent, the boogie monster is not something you want as a visitor to your home.
I am interested in Fear. It is universal and natural feeling that can be used to control, persuade, paralyze, and inspire (etc. etc. etc.).
