* EnsembleDarkhorse: Lester Billings. He's barely in the film, but Creator/DavidDastmalchian's performance was unanimously acclaimed and he's regarded as one of the highlights of the film.

* CompleteMonster: [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight The Boogeyman]] is a vile entity speculated to have [[AncientEvil haunted mankind from the beginning of time]]. Despite its capability to kill entire families, the Boogeyman prioritizes [[DrivenToMadness driving its victims to the brink of insanity]], prolonging the torment of its victims much to its {{sadist}}ic amusement. After slaughtering Lester Billings's three [[WouldHurtAChild children]]--the youngest being an infant--it stalks the Harper family, gradually breaking them down and feeding on their trauma. When Rita Billings fails to kill the Boogeyman in an elaborate harebrained scheme, the Boogeyman gruesomely rips her in half before retreating to the house and taking Dr. Will Harper and Sawyer hostage.

* SpiritualSequel: To ''Film/Smile2022''. Both films act as metaphors for dealing with grief and feature female protagonists dealing with supernatural threats. The Boogeyman of this film and the Smile Entity choose their victims in nearly the exact same way - latching onto people who have experienced severe trauma and wearing them down and isolating them until they can go in for the kill. The main difference comes from how the respective films end: ''The Boogeyman'' ends with the main characters coming together to defeat the Boogeyman and coming to terms with their trauma whilst ''Smile'' ends with [[spoiler: the Entity succesfully overwhelming the protagonist and ensuring that the cycle of trauma continues unabated.]]
