* MissingMom: The girls' mother and Will's wife was recently killed in a car accident. All of them are still mourning her, with the girls having therapy together for it. Will, [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes though a therapist himself]], hasn't opened up about it with his daughters and dealt with the loss well. Sadie wears a dress of her mom's early on, and is quite unhappy with her dad not talking to her about it. His trying to get rid of her mom's old things also angers Sadie. The three's sadness over her death turns out to be a plot point, as it's their sorrow which causes the Boogeyman's targeting them, as it preys on people like them.

** In the short story, Lester deliberately lets the Boogeyman kill his son to buy himself some time. There's no evidence of this here, and he's at worst guilty of not believing his children until it was too late.
