- The Boogeyman is a story that has long plagued humanity. This fabled creature is one who stalks the night and any would be youngling that doesn't hide from it. Assumed to be a story, its relegated to the realm of "its not real so it can't hurt you". Well thats all well and good, until it can. In the events of "The Boogeyman" (2023) This creature is not only real, but is also a mean eater, well soul eater possibly. Hunting down its preferred prey, smallish adults, it will wipe out a family before moving onto the next one. But what exactly is it and where did it come from? lets discuss that in todays episode!
Thank you for watching Roanoke Gaming and I hope you enjoy The JAW SNAPPING Creature Explained in "The Boogeyman"

New video to watch, hell yea
Who is the Pee-Pee Poo-Poo man!?
I need answers!
As the male parent of a youngling, I honestly don't understand characters that know their offspring are scared of something or know they are in danger and do nothing.
Honestly boggles the mind
I'm not even a parent of a youngling, and my first reaction to something scaring a youngling is still "Seek and destroy."
I have a theory. The parents are using their younglings to distract the booger mugged bogey hoagie. Think about it, a non-subadult has a lower voice register, which doesn't carry as well while a youngling has a much higher pitched voice which adults are hardwired to be incapable of ignoring, the perfect early warning system to let you know that the Dookie has the metaphorical fan harder than an angry freight train full of refrigerators.
Bad writing because they need to be stupid so that the plot can continue.
As a parent of a couple youngling. There's absolutely no way I'd let my child just suffer and develop all sorts of mental issues because I ignored them. Plus if there is a threat and I could prevent it, I wouldn't forgive myself.
“Throw a furby at it”. Honestly a 10/10 idea. Boogymen have a hierarchy and they know that the furby is at the top of that totem pole of fear
come on, just because it's a supernatural entity from hell doesn't mean it deserves to encounter a furby.
Ye
Boogie man lives matter 😮

See your joking but they actually are on a higher level than the average boogeyman

@@RoanokeGaming You can say you're getting a "helping hand" while "getting ahead" lmao
Fun fact. Better color vision = poorer darkness vision. So by seeing more color, you can’t see as well at night. Rods also take 30ish seconds to “turn off/on” which is why you need time to acclimate to sudden light changes , and get those black spots in your vision when staring at lights
So the black spots are kinda like a stuck pixel in a monitor screen? Just temporary?
When I was little there was a light in my parents room that made interesting shapes when you stared directly at it so I would stare at it and try to catch the shapes and I’m pretty sure that’s why I need glasses now
I like how the creature isn’t necessarily weak to light like a vampire, it’s more like because it’s eyes are so well adapted to darkness that what we humans consider a normal light level is basically a flash bang for it
Same goes for all nocturnal and diurnal animals, they have specially adapted eye layers. If anything, Human eyes are kinda lame in how basic they are.
The bogeyman’s worst nightmare the worlds strongest flashlight. That’s how you make it fear you. Seriously the worlds strongest flashlight can cause permanent eye damage if you look at it without protection from the light using it on this creature would be like looking at a nuclear explosion but about 100 times stronger and brighter than nuclear weapons cause today
@@ericlamb4501Human eyes are kind of lame. That’s why our brain evolved to be the most powerful…so many physical weaknesses but we got blessed with the greatest strength. Brain power.

Imagine letting someone that threw food on your deceased mother’s dress into your home. Couldn’t be me. That person’s face would have become acquainted with the locker on the spot, repeatedly. I haven’t seen the film, but I imagine it’s difficult to empathize with a character that is a walking doormat.
I've stuffed exactly one kid into a locker and it was a boy who drew circles where he thought my nipples were on all of my gym clothes and band front uniform. Turns out he was my husband's cousin, boy was that an awkward Thanksgiving dinner.
Could be a "fawn" response. As in, fearing someone who was harmful to you and wanting to get their approval so they won't hurt you anymore. Especially since it seems that the main character doesn't have many friends. Still, it's a very bad decision to fawn over awful people.
This video is basically the entire movie minus a few boring unnecessary scenes and without the full dialogue
for me the face would have to get acquainted with a couple grams of lead

When you mentioned how the creature could've been around since caveman days, it made me think of uncanny valley and how the theory is there was some predator back then that would look ALMOST like us.
I have a theory the Uncanny Valley response goes back to when there were other types of hominids that we competed with, like Neanderthals for example, possibly predatory ones that would prey on humans.
@@stevepalpatine2828The Why Files video about Neanderthals.
@@stevepalpatine2828We interbred with Neanderthals, so it isn't because of them.
Its kind of funny how, probably because we instinctively fear the dark
we instinctively love fire
last i checked most animals are scared of fire because it tends to burn out of control
but because we learned how to control it (most of the time) and it produces light, scares off predators, and is very good at killing things (and as a bonus, making them more edible)
its our go to problem solver for monsters and spooky things
Hans loves his flammenwerfer.
I also think the fact that fire is HOT plays a big role too
And that love of fire led to 2 of the greatest innovations in human history. Firearms and the internal combustion engine

As a girl that dealt with bullies with violence, I eventually learned that all it did was get me in trouble. Didn’t matter if the bully had touched me first, or was chasing me around before I turned around and let them run into my fist, I was the one punished and not them. If she had taken a swing at the bullies, more than likely no one would get in trouble purely because her mom had died recently. Or, She would still get in trouble because grief isn’t an excuse, and the bullies still wouldn’t get in trouble because it was just yogurt and didn’t cause physical damage to the girl herself. I hated school so much.
IT really sucks how schools have this double standard of pretending to want to stop bullying, but do nothing to actually make Bullies accountable for their behavior that leads to people fighting them or in worst case scenarios, bringing a gun to shoot them after finally snapping from the abuse and ridicule!
And even then, the bully is never given the punishment that they deserve by those in charge.
Its almost pathetic hwo schools handle bullying.
Bully inflicts emotional and physical damage onto a person who doesn't respond; Nothing happens.
Bully inflicts emotional and physical damage onto a person who does respond; Both or just the Victim are punished.
This type of fucked up apathetic logic is why we have shitheads al over the place. The good people are beaten down into submission while the vile cunts of the world are free to act as they wish.
@@matthewriddle2698 In my experience it usually takes parental- and possibly police intervention for something to actually be done
@@Ceconayep, iam currently dealing with this with my kid. Had to force the schools hand with police, AND exposure to the local news if they didnt do anything....so far all theyve done is suspend the bully for 2 days. Yeah, thats gonna fix nothing. Schools arent held accountable for jack shit these days and its infuriating.
lmao I just do online school now, cant get trauma from school if I don't go
unfortunately as a former teenage girl i can tell you that people 100% show up to things hosted by someone they hate just to ruin it for them. teenage girls are literally the cruelst creatures on earth
Sounds horrendous!
Imo all female are inherently rude/evil but their capacity to love is something beyond this realm
Yeah I hung out with dudes more because of this issue while growing up. Boys were just... So much easier to predict on how they would go about social stuff. And we played Pokemon while the girls did... Whatever they were doing. 😅
Teenage girls interacting with one another is the reason I always bust a gut laughing at the "If leaders were all women we'd have world peace" feminists. Based on the girls, if all leaders were women we'd have been fighting WW4 by now.
@@JohnSmith-tt3go Did those people never heard about Olga of Kiev?
One HUGE flaw with the fear of the dark. Walking through a neighborhood at night as opposed to day, things look more haunting and scary. Why would we see the same thing different? I would think that we would need to easily recognize actual changes to spot potential predators and perceived changes would interfere with that. Its almost like our brains hate us.
It could be the fact that due to the dark our minds are in a constant state of searching, as it can't see any changes due to the darkness which in my opinion or thought could cause our brain to see everything as "off" and signal the brain that something isn't right as it can't tell what exactly is wrong and such something must be wrong , and yes the brain is a dick it will destroy you to save it self
A heightened anxiety response to keep you on alert, perhaps? Hormones aren't capable of articulating their reasoning and pointing out the flaws in their logic.
It's less that you're seeing things differently and more that you're noticing things you would normally ignore, it makes more more likely to spot threats because of how alert and wired you get. Imagine the difference between turning a corner and seeing a lion while already having the adrenalin pumping because spooky trees vs just casually and calmly strolling along without a care in the world.
I would put my guess at the limits off our vision. Our brain is making up most off our view from the fragments sorrounding our focus. Take those fragments away in the dark and its basically free drawing.
Because at night you are at greater risk, because you cannot see as well as during the day.
Our caveman brains still remember the time when big cats could pick us off at night, thanks to their superior night vision and ambush tactics when hunting.
As a father, you have a duty to protect your kids. Even if there's nothing there, it's very important to a young child's development that if they come to you because they are legitimately scared of something, you need to show them that you take it seriously. That being said, you also need to encourage them so they can grow. You don't want to trap them in a state of helplessness where they think mommy and daddy need to come in and solve every problem.
No, not in real life. You should not encourage your children to be scared of nonexistent entities.
@@ExpertContrarian, I didn't say encourage them to be afraid of nonexistent entities.
@@ExpertContrarian
You aren't encouraging them to be afraid of stuff that doesn't exist, you are encouraging them to go to you for help when they need it. Because people spending their entire life feeling like nobody will help them and they are all alone all if the time is absolutely detrimental to a person's mental health.
@@C00kiesAplentyall that over imaginary monsters 😂
@@ExpertContrarian
They don't know the monsters are imaginary, and neither do you to be honest. That's why you check. Most of the time they will just be imaginary. But sometimes it can be a rat, or some other small pest that somehow got inside your house, or an actual person who broke in. Ignoring your child when they ask for help is easily one of the dumbest things possible, and I sincerely hope you never reproduce.
7:30 nah we throwing hands elbows knees and toes. Also the design of the creature really reminds me of the Until Dawn Wendigos.
Might even throw a few headbutts too.
Fun fact: the actor Lester plays is also in Ant-Man and the Wasp, where he mentions The Boogeyman when he talks about Ghost.
Actually pretty neat
Nobody cares.
He also plays polka dots in suicide squad 2

15:02 I had a sleep paralysis once where there were just a couple of voices in the corner of my room out of sight but they were having basically a podcast just talking about random conspiracy theories and geopolitical bullshit I literally coudn't have cared less about at 3am when I had to wake up at 5am and effectively managed to break out of sleep paralysis just to tell them to shut up
That was me, I'm sorry

@@ThickmoidYeast Oh. Well, alright. I guess we'll spare the discussion on the Iranian monarchy's contact with aliens for tomorrow afternoon. Sleep well!
@@angelvaldez1775 thats a haunting not sleep paralysis my dude.
As someone who suffers from horrific hallucinations and night terrors about monsters (I've never had sleep paralysis, amusingly), this movie's monster having clear supernatural powers but not using them more makes me more nervous than what it actually does on screen.
Also worth noting that this was a Stephen King short story and his cosmos is referenced towards the end when one of the characters says "it was here from the beginning". Plenty of his creatures feed on souls especially younglings
I think I came to the realization that I'm officially an adult when I realized that I'm no longer afraid of the dark and the purported things lurking in it, because if they kill me, it means I don't have to worry about paying the bills or my own mental state trying to off me anymore.
You should watch the Darmine Doggy Door sketch. I think you would enjoy it
Maybe that’s why they don’t do anything to us adults because they know we want out 😂
@@TheRotMGPersonWHAT DID THEY DO TO US
I'm more scared that the creepies will make life more difficult rather than kill me. Like I have work in the morning quit shaking my bed and hovering just kill me or shut up dude 😂
Yeah but the boogie man won't kill YOU if it catches you, its gonna force you to pay more bills >:)
i've always wondered what does fear look like if humans evolved with the ability to see in the night. it seems so simple, but the entire course of our development could have been different if we were able to continue working just the same as we could during the day before the wonders of electricity or even oil lamps.
If we could see fine in the dark I believe our fears would move more toward fear of being alone and helpless than fear of the unknown. Sure you may be able to see the thing that is trying to eat you, but if it is faster than you and stronger than you and it manages to separate you from your friends and family, then what chance do you have against it?
We'd be night predators and thus would rely more on biological advantages rather than the brains. Then some other Homini that down the brain evolutionary path would outcompete us.
Tbf for me its a well lit room with a endlessly deep clear swimming pool
We might not be able to craft as good, Fire wouldnt be as important, we might simply not develop beyond Animals because of it. Like if we could´ve hunted with brute strength instead of Spears and Bows, we wouldnt have had a need to craft better and better Weapons. We would simply evolve to become stronger and faster instead of smarter.
@@adrenjones9301 We would still need to cook food and would still be pretty weak by most animals standards so the need for fire and weapons is still there. If anything it would just give us higher survivability and we wouldn't need torches and stuff
In the book, the Boddgieman was the Therapist. Using that form to find weak minded people.
But you'd think, that after several of their clients ..um... disappeared, that people would be less likely to sign up.
I was about to say isn't this a Stephen King short story?
As a child I use to be afraid of the dark majorly (still am to a extent) whenever I would get scared I'd start acting tough and cussing into the shadows an squareing up like I was boutta scrap a ghost... idk why but it helped
I absolutely hate you for making me laugh so much at the 'Peepee Poopoo man hiding behind your closet door" line. I guess no matter how old you get, we are all secretly 12 inside, lmao.
I've actually heard of Vaan der Waals force before, and my ears perked up at its mention! The Haven Troopers in MGS4, also called FROGs, are able to cling to walls and other surfaces. Otacon deduced it was either suction cups, or something utilizing Van der Waals force to achieve that effect.
Nerd, but a MGs nerd which is awesome
@@MereelSkirata it seems likely in MGS4, perhaps MGS2 but that point, I'm not 100%
@@MereelSkiratathat's why I said perhaps. In MGS4, his legs are in the same type of armor the FROGs have on their arms. He may have been using a prototype of that tech in MGS2, with Ocelot having electromagnetic weapons shielding tech then, it's not unlikely that he could've let Vamp use a working prototype to do some field testing!

As someone who is still afraid of the dark even as an adult this movie is like my worst nightmare
Can’t get over the fact I heard Roanoke say “The Peepee poopoo man” god I love life
The idea that is wearing a caveman skin is pretty cool, would be even cooler if we could actually see the thing, why film makers insist in doing such dark movies I don't know, like yeah not seeing something can be horror inducing, not being able to see anything when its within kissing distance isn't
Lighting costs? I think
Allows for cheaper animation cost to allocate money elsewhere- usually toward fluffing up checks or to push more ads. Animation can eat up huge chunks of budget as well as pay for the actors, so making a very darkly lit horror movie is an easy way to balance a budget.
And if movies are dark, but have stuff like monsters and whatnot made from cg, chances are the cg is bad and they're trying to hide how bad it is.
Movies like this would be way cooler if the monster wasn't goofy supernatural in the first place and involved people doing something exceptional to actual win or survive. Like 2016's Spectral, or The Thing.
Film makers heard people praising Jaws not showing the shark much in the first 2/3 of the movie and took that as a truism for all horror movies everywhere, at all times. Helms Deep in Lord of the Rings did it right, blue tinged soft light to let the audience see what's happening while also signifying it's night.
The forward facing eyes being a hallmark of a species being predatory is more a mammals/birds thing, it falls apart pretty readily in every other taxonomic class. Crocodiles, snakes, monitor lizards, sharks, and cephalopods having examples of large predators with eyes positioned on the sides of their heads.
9:10 When you talked about how your parent’s lights produced light but rooms still look dark it could be from the wave length of the bulbs interacting poorly with colours that make up the room. Like if you have a green bulb in a red room the room would look almost black but if said bulb produced red light the room would look like it’s glowing.
I'd love to fully understand how our brains respond to darkness. As a kid, I was always terrified of the dark and would sprint away any time I had to turn the light off. After about 15, that fear was replaced with comfort. Now, if ever I need to chill, I'll go into a room and turn off all the lights. Being in darkness has become a massive comfort and I've always wondered why my brain suddenly shifted to finding comfort instead of fear in the dark. Heck, as I write this I'm sat in a pitch-black room with only my laptop's light. I know other people find that same comfort in the dark and I would love to know WHY some people are terrified and some people are comforted. They seem like absolute polar opposite reactions that can be exhibited by the same person in different time frames. There's probably an obvious answer as to why but I just don't know it yet.
Well, there's a difference between laying down in a dark room which is soothing on the eyes and generally gives less stimuli to process, and actually doing things in the dark, which activates more awareness due to the massive increase in spots to hide and decrease in active allies.
Our instincts take the "better paranoid than eaten alive" approach to keeping us safe for a reason. Once upon a time the kids that stayed close the light were more likely to be around long enough to grow up than the ones that didn't fear it. Till the child grows enough to be able to understand and do something about the threats the darkness can hide it's the darkness itself that seems scary.
You probably learned that the kind of dark places you inhabit are safe and the brain started associating relief of that knowledge with empowerement. It's like being scared of jumping with schute - at first you're scared to do it but as you get sucked into it you start actively craving it.
Man when I was a kid one night I was convinced a gorilla was hanging out in a room staring at me waiting for me to fall asleep. Turned out to just be a coat weirdly bundled up on top of a chair but that thing paralyzed me with fear for hours. Funny how I’d forgotten about it until seeing this vid and it hit me like a punch from Tyson. Just kid brain making stuff out of nothing as an adult you obviously rationalize.
(totally unscientific opinion here)
Our brain likes to find patterns in things and when something like the dark swallows up all dimension and patterns of anything our brain goes crazt trying to rationalize what it's seeing. But failing that it triggers our flight response because what it can't discern is likely a threat.
Also. If your laptop light is on, then your room is not pitch black. There is enough light for your brain to make sense of what's around it.
A few months ago my mom told me my great uncle had the genetic predisposition to where weed triggers schizophrenia. Since I was about to head off to university I assume she decided that it was a good time. Needless to say, she did a very good job of making sure I never do drugs.
Weed doesn't trigger schizophrenia (who ever told you and your mother that it does straight up lied to y'all) and it's actually recommended to treat it in most states with medical.
@@chriserwin7823 No, no, I don't have schizophrenia. Roanoke mentioned it in the video as well, it can activate suppressed genes, so if you have it in the family it's to be avoided. I'm not anti-weed, if you enjoy it I don't judge. Just not for me.
I actually had a, I guess a midnight encounter that I've been scratching my head over for years. I was around 7 at the time and I woke up in the middle of the night, as I often did back then. I sat up in my bed before seeing a teddy bear sized shadow creature with glowing red eyes. We kind of just stared at each other for a few seconds before it ran and jumped out the window. I sat there for good few minutes before laying back down and pulling the covers over my head. I never saw it again, and I've never experienced anything similar to that since. I did have hallucinations back then but none of them behaved anything like that. Most of the hallucinations I had were usually just static images that never really moved. And I found that when I focused on them they would just fade away. This thing did none of that. I've kind of ruled out sleep paralysis because I sat up in my bed before I even noticed something was weird. And I really don't think it was a dream as I remember feeling the sheets over my head. Also it was just way too tame for it be one LSD hellscapes my brain makes me experience a regular basis.
Sleep paralysis visions can last a few seconds after you regain movement, in my experience.
@@scifisyko the thing that rules out sleep paralysis for me is the fact that I simply woke up normally. I only noticed that something was strange when I started looking around my room. It was not a particularly stressful experience. And I didn't at any point have difficulty moving.
Honestly I think the weirdest part, is that it jumped through the window. It easily could have just faded away or walked through the wall. But it acted like it needed to see where it was going. In fact it acted like it was not expecting me to wake up wen I did. Like if it was just as surprised to see me as I was to see it.
Also, in our modern age of blue light, you have the weirdos that work noc shifts and cant sleep during the night but pass out when the sun comes up
I will say, as a former teen girl myself, and having autism which REALLY adds to the ape brain I had at that age, that I’ve gone into tard rage mode over having water flicked at me. So guarantee that if I was wearing my dead mother’s dress and some girl bully had gotten spoiled food on it, I’d have gone full chimp mode on her. This girl seems TOO passive.
Edit: I should clarify in this original comment so people don't think I'm some kind of raging psycho: I do realize it was wrong and I control my anger much better now, lol.
Why was people's first instinct upon hearing, "dude, I'm autistic and I really really don't fucking like water," to flick, throw, or spray, water?? Bro that's gonna hit the Chimp Button real fast, please do not
@@HollandCrafthart To be fair, this other kid wasn’t even part of the original confrontation. I was in a screaming match with another kid who had a girl we hung out with at the time names. Flicking water kid then came behind me and started flicking water and that was when I chimped out and kicked him. And it wasn’t like a baby kick either, it was a straight roundhouse powered by sheer autistic rage.
Bottom line is yes I do know it wasn’t right and no I have not kicked anyone in a long time.

Bro @25:48...if that is your office for real, congratulations you appear to be winning the game of life!
I’ve come to realize that I’m far less fearful in the dark (I have nyctophobia so it’s naturally worse than the average fear) when I have one of my pets with me. Be it my cat or my rabbit, I’m immediately more at ease because I know that they’re at ease, and they’d know if something is wrong because they’re animals that can sense these kinds of things.
Imagine your pet starts freaking out...
Yeah that's why my dog gets to sleep in the bed with me lol she won't be much protection but she'll alert me to ready my various force multipliers lol
OP, I'm imagining your pet being a lazy jerk who's thinking the exact same thing about you. "My owner isn't freaking out so everything's fine".

I lost my dad when i was 15 and kids are shitheads that lack empathy. I was too depressed to stand up for myself. That scene 💯 tracked for me.
Yer kids especially teenagers FUCKING SUCK. I was severely depressed and had PTSD as a kid for multiple reasons. My classmates did not care one bit. I tried to OD in the school bathroom, and they took my stuff to the hospital afterwards. I'd left my books in my homeroom class, and one of my classmates wrote that I was a loser, should kill myself, ugly, etc. in them. Like WTF
RIP to your dad. Hope your ok
I just want to thank you again for your channel. It’s something I look forward to during the week. Doesn’t matter if I’ve seen the movie or not your commentary always makes me laugh and gives me that sweet, sweet dopamine
lol your energy levels are amazing. I love how you transition from talking about the movie to giving a science/biology lecture in all these videos I just randomly found. Very entertaining for sure.
I can't blame kids for being afraid of the dark... as a GenXr, I also grew up fearing the boogeyman in my early years. A night light is just a small kindness we owe our little ones (IMHO), but, to each their own 🤷♀ Awesome video!
Unless 85 isn't your birth year, I'm afraid you are......are you sitting down?

Thank you Roanoke your videos have become my absolute favorite things to watch nowadays. It brings a cool science and logic based reality to genre movie monsters and game creatures that people would otherwise say that "they could never exist". Keep up the awesome work!

We spent centuries getting dragged into the darkness by colossal critters. The fear is very rational. As children we are weak and need help. Sadly, i can find no proof of anything supernatural despite my life being utterly devoted to it.
I've had some paranormal experiences when I was a kid, but nothing comes up now. Then again, I don't go looking for it.
The natural world is fascinating and terrifying enough that a paranormal world isn't really necessary XD
@@Tom_Cruise_Missile ahh, but it would be confirmation that death isn't the end. A massive ego boost people need. Maybe they'd think twice about crime if he'll was real? But sadly, no one ever comes back from true death to speak about it. We are probably just worm food, but that's so damnably boring. "Oh boy, one day my constituent atoms may one day coalesce into me again, more likely I will feed plants and be energy for the life cycle for eternity" blah.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow would it though? Proving the existence of the paranormal is one thing, proving the existence of an afterlife is another. As an atheist I'd love to know whether or not death is the end, believe me.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow also the paranormal would not at all prove the existence of God, or which God exists, so people would still do crime. People are just like that.
2:14 it’s nice to know we’ve upgraded from throwing rocks to throwing furbies. Honestly it makes sense, fight fire with fire, fight dark entities with one of your own
I was the soldier they'd send out into the Dark to make it safe for everyone else. My child grew up never demonstrating fear of the Night or Dark and when she was old enough I told her why the things that go bump in the Night tip-toe around me.
Respect sir.
I have to agree that her doing nothing about her mother's dress getting food on it was frustrating. I get not wanting to start a fight and being emotionally fragile she may just not have been in the head space to lash out at her but.... I almost ripped a kids ear off and clawed his face because I got grabbed. I almost broke another person's finger for touching my thighs. And I kicked a kid in the face for trying to crawl under a bus seat to mess with me.... I dunno I get it but at the same time I wish she had done more to begin with.
imo the people who made you uncomfortable thoroughly deserved whatever injuries they got. i feel sorry for you being the subject of that
@@omegadragons321 thank you for saying that. I was a pretty passive person and I don't like to lash out at people but every so often the only way to get through to someone is a sharp and decisive strike. Each of those boys never touched me again and I'd like to think they learned a valuable lesson.
Roanoke: "But where did it come from?"
My brain: "Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?"
Roanoke calling his wife a nerd made me roll on the floor 💀💀💀
Gotta love the explanation about souls while seeing the film of someones eye being cut off. Great imagery there. I suppose that if the eye is the window to the soul you just showed us opening the shutter.
To be fair to primapes losing their dark accustomed eyes (all mammals descend from nocturnal creaturea during the dinosaurs), that mass extinction down to the modern day has meant there was less threat and more opportunity for food in the morning. So it makes perfect sense to focus on improving daylight vision (although we pale in comparison to true day swellers like birds) at the expense of night vision, where all you need 99% of the time is to see two feet in front of you in your cave.
We are also way less efficient at bipedalism than many bipedal birds. Birds do be wildin’.
Roanoke are you ever going to do Deep Rock Galactic’s glyphids and other creatures of hoxxes 4? Because they could be fun. Also be a interesting chance to talk about eusocial creatures and caste systems
ROCK AND STONE !
Rock and stone!
Can we take into consideration how freaking metal the Boogeyman's design is in this movie? I'm just saying, that thing would not be out of place in Cannibal Corpse or Infant Annihilator cover art.
Awesome video, dude! I love these deep dives into the major supernatural stuff. A bit of an obscure one, but I’d recommend checking out the Evil Thing from RL Stine’s The Haunting Hour: Don’t think about it.
And remember everyone
No one is afraid of the dark
Theyre afraid of NOT being alone in it.
You mean they are afraid of being alone in it right?
@@Gutssssss666 No, they mean not alone. Being alone in the dark is fine until something else is there with you...
@@Enerology ohhh thanks that makes more sense lol
I adore your meticulous scientific dissection of abstract apparitions, supernatural entities and other beings of a mythological nature. You give feasible coherence and deductible speculation to such intangible ambiguities! I love these kinds of reviews! 🧑🔬👨⚕️🧙♂️🔮🧚🧞🧜♀️🐉
As I saw in another video before.
You are not afraid of being alone in the dark; you are afraid of not being alone in the dark.
Also, this movie made me think of Darkness Falls. Where the Tooth Fairy who doesn't like the light stays in the dark to kill her victim.
I’ve been watching you for a very long time Roanoke! Love that you do research and get very detailed with these videos. I’ve seen the film, and watched so many reviews of the film after, and I never realized when I watched/not one person who reviewed the film, brought to light that the creature was a monster wearing a husk. I never realized while watching, that it showed another face inside of itself, let alone that was hands an an entire arm that came out of its mouth at the end 😅
I am 34 and still don't like to sleep with my closet door open or even cracked. I use to spend a lot of time at my grandparents in the middle room was the guest room and they had this high closet space that had no door. I use to have trouble sleeping at night thinking something was always looking down on me, waiting and watching. I miss that time, just not that room.
Love your channel and come to enjoy just listening to your reviews / clips on movies as background when playing games or Mtg. Your humor and breakdowns of movies are very good. Please keep it up!
any chance you'd cover how Tyranids from Warhammer 40K might work biologically? id love to see it but otherwise great video, keep up the amazing content
I would love to see him cover every single varient lol
Seeing this guy try and scientifically explain the vile tyranids would be cool.
Or the Zerg from StarCraft. #r/hfy
Recently watched this movie after watching the video (completely unintentional) and I must say. Watching this movie with Roanoke’s observations and theories on the creature provided a fun experience
The peepee poopoo man ...😂😂😂 you r killing me 😂. Your species bit had me hooked. I shared your channel with my friend. Your very funny. Keep up the funny
Absolutely love the opening where you discussed primal fears and our instinct to be nervous about the dark. Love that stuff. I actually wrote an article for Morbidly Beautiful in 2019 on why horror is so appealing to some people and talked about similar details. Great work and don't worry about the science. We are already in Boogeyman territory so considering that, your presentation was sound 😊
Man I am happy for this cover, mainly because in all honesty this was a first horror movie in years that god me spooked without a jumpscare. It really is a dying art
Yeah I super agree. I went with my mother who was super excited but disappointed cause she's used to jump scares. Guess she was never scared of the dark. Meanwhile when I was a child her and my grandfather used to torment me with monster movies and stuff so I was terrified. You know what it's like to be afraid of moving because they scared me with Tremors? 😂
All it took was seeing that light glint off the eyes and I swear it kicked in like PTSD.
The sudden appearance of a figure in the background scares me more than any jump scare. Well, that's not true, it's a different kind of scare. A jump scare will make me jump out of my seat, but those scenes where a face appears out of the dark background (as seen in this video) instantly activates my acute stress response. My brain immediately goes into flight mode.
@@codysmith66Had a babysitter show me a VERY terrifying horror movie when I was around four or five on a Halloween night. I already had insomnia by that point and I was afraid of the dark, so I was screwed for the next few weeks. I refuse to watch horror movies or play scary games to this day because of that, and I'm in my mid-twenties now! Any time I'm expecting a jumpscare or things get too tense, I have to turn away and distract myself. 😂
Only got to see Tremors for the first time in high school, but it's definitely one of my favorite movies. That and the original Halloween movie are the only types of horror I can handle.
@rozu7772 I first saw Tremors when I was 5 years old. Little 5 year old me would run down the hall screaming like a demon when my mom and grandpa would go "RUN CODY THERE'S A GRABOID!"
And then my mind would start playing tricks on me seeing shit out the window at night. Yeah no this movie had my breathing stop a few times.
@@codysmith66 😂 Everything's so much scarier as a kid!
I honestly though they did the boogeyman aspect really well. Like there were moments that were unsettling, but my gripe lies with the characters. More-so the father, which through out pissed me off from his actions towards his daughters, straight up making fun of their genuine anxieties from the creature and overall just not being an emotionally appealing character. I understand he’s also grieving but every choice he made/word said was one folly after another, and there were too many moments in the movie where I was thinking that, “he’s not human, just human-like” and no better than an actual monster especially to his kids. Really had me feeling indifferent if he was a casualty but I mean I guess it wouldn’t benefit the story, it would’ve just traumatized his daughters even further 🤷🏻♂️
It always surprises me how you put these videos together and upload them so quickly. Love the content.
7:45 as I've never lost an extremely close loved one, especially not at such an early age, I wouldn't know the appropriate response myself. However, I do know that all my friends and family who have been there before would absolutely start throwing elbows right to the back of people's skulls like a Muay Thai world champion if someone defaced a remembrance from their loved one like that
I’d be throwing elbows
The real question here is how the hell does Roanoke know about The PeePee-PooPoo Man? Did he cover him before? How did he know The PeePee-PooPoo Man hides behind doors? Astonishing!
If you happen to see one account obsessively binging your channel, that's me 😂 I love horror movies, I'm a Georgia girl, and I'm a huge nerd for science, so I just wanted to thank you for being awesome, giving our state some love, and being one of my all time comfort channels that can make me feel better even on a bad day. You do horror fans and Georgia folk proud while making the science feel accessible to the less intelligent like myself so please keep at it!
“Like an emo Crow…well I guess the Crow already is emo”
🤣 loving your videos man, you’re narration has always been good but it’s awesome to hear you comment and joke more.
Knowing the type of humor in your videos (which I love btw), I always half expect the "Where did it come from" to be followed by "Where did it go". 5/7 would watch again
Binged watched all your videos, keep up the good work! Been waiting for this one!
Hope you enjoy!
well this made my day better! we need more supernatural/cryptids vids from Roanoke!
Okay you just earned yourself a subscriber *my jimmies would have been rustled* I haven't heard that from someone else since 2014
Ah, I was wondering for, about 24 minutes of this video, why everything looked like shadows with that really crummy blue filter over it.
I’m glad he finally brought it up and confirmed that it was indeed the movie and not an editing choice he made.
For some unfathomable reason.
The fact that I live the early parts of this movie is kinda freaky (monster wise, my mom is fine). I have a pretty big fear of the dark, mostly because of my overactive imagination and reoccurring sleep issues, which leads to me occasionally being tired enough to start having visual and auditory hallucinations. So I've seen movement in my own room at night, I've heard voices, and I've seen shapes of humanoids in the darkness. I'm also hella forgetful, and so despite making a point of closing all doors out of and in my room every night, I've occasionally gone to bed only to notice a door being wide open (Worst, thing, ever). That's all science tho. The part that is *currently* freaking me out is that for about as long as I can remember I've had this image of "the thing in the darkness". Which I know I didn't get from anywhere, because part of what made it so scary for me growing up was that it wasn't from a movie or something, it was from my own head. With time I've learned to more or less deal with my fears as I've learned more about what causes them (such as the things mentioned at first). But... and you might have guessed it by now, but the image I had/have of "the thing in the darkness", pretty much exactly looks like this monster. Reversed limbs, weird mouth parts and all... So yeah... going to bed's gonna be fun tonight.
Oh no…
@@immagical7036 🙃
@@Neptune0404 get a priest omg XD
I love your science banter and jokes throughout the videos. Solid content!
Cats are really the best counter to fear of the dark; any and every bump, crash, and misc noise just gets the response of "STOP THAT" as the little furry bogarts cause chaos.
Hey papa roanoke, I took your advice on college and it's really helped. Just wanted to update you and say thanks man. I'm still young and figuring things out so your advice is greatly appreciated
Pushing that 1 mill Roanoke! Keep up the good work!
Thanks man!
Yooooo I’m crying this man is funny af ! I had to pause the video so I could subscribe I’m at work screaming 😂
20:44 I don't think i've ever laughed so hard at someone saying "niehhhh gross"
I was a weird child as I liked the dark. My brain reasoned, if I can't see it, it can't see me.
Though interestingly in adult life I've found my eyes are more sensitive to light than normal, to the point I need sunglasses even at dusk. Because the light hurts my eyes
Now I work at night and sleep during the day so hardly see daylight
Kinda a nice ability our body's are able to achieve, sadly at the cost of others.
Ever turn on a led light and just flashbang yourself?
@@captinkaksparra3381 all the time, when I was a teen/early 20s I had a red bulb in my room because of this. And if I had anything with blue LEDs I have to cover them or suffer migraines
You were the creature in the dark
The sleep paralysis part got me. I threw a knife into my door once after a paralysis nightmare attack back in my teens
There was another movie in the early 2000's also called The Boogeyman that my mom and I watched as a youngling, resulting in a fear of the dark/closets. The good part that of all that is I always sleep with a weapon near me and no longer fear the dark, nor what lurks within
Honestly, aslong as i can fight something my fear of it drastically goes down. Of course that doesnt mean im not shit scared of the creatures in my mind or the possible animals that could maul and kill me, but knowing i could fight them and protect the ones i care about or myself if forced into a confrontation, is instantly a fear reliever.
Guess being a dream demon doesn't have dental coverage..
Honestly these videos are just seeing Roanoke's vault of random memes and images he gets to put into videos to enrich it
This dude thinks The Crow was emo 🤣🤣
