“Mama Shirley was at the foot of the stairs hollering “Halt, you nasty, thieving Boogen!””

“The Boogins are indigenous to the European continent, making their swalts among the shrubs and bushes of former river beds. The male is some 3 cm longer than the female and lives, on average, two years longer. Both are dark in appearance with the female having the slightly longer fur.”

““Do you know about the Boogen?” she said, and he shook his head. “He's part of our Christmas. Sami Claus comes to all the houses one by one, you see, and he has an assistant, the Boogen, who wears a cloak and a hood and carries a big bag. Sami Claus asks the parents how the children have been that year, and the parents show him the ledger, the record you know. And if the children have been good, Sami Claus gives them presents. But if the parents say the children have been bad, the Boogen sweeps them up in his bag and carries them away, and they're never seen again.” “What!” John cried. “That is what they tell you. That is Switzerland. And that is why I am here on Mars.” “The Boogen carried you here?” They laughed, the woman too. “Yes. I was always bad.” She grew more serious. “But we will have no Boogen here.””

“It would freak me out, and I would have to cover my head just in case of a "boogin". Funny, but I am laughing because even as a grown woman I would hit the bathroom light and bolt to bed.”

“Hot-shit scripter Kevin Williamson thinks he knows the dynamics of the horror film inside and out, but this preppy poseur wouldn't know a Boogen if it slithered up and bit his dick off. Now that's honesty.”

“A prolific and malignant scourge that up till now had remained wholly unseen plagued the local populace in a despairing continuance instilling such a grave element of fear in that some had dubbed the boogins and others, the night creeper. A dark insidious force cloaked in an enigmatic shroud of maniacal secrecy had seeped it's way into the far cavernous regions of the subconscious mind.”

“What is a Boogen? You'll find out but the film won't rush you there.”

““Also, look who I found in Rick's room.” “Mmmm, I'm Mr. Frundles!” “I don't care how cute he is. We agreed no boogens in the house.” “Wait, Season 2 Jerry, don't!””

““What just happened?” Iro asked. Her voice sounded like she had just woken up from a nap. “That was a boogin, a horrible haint! I've dealt with it for many years and have been unable to put it to pasture,” the redheaded lady explained as Adrian helped Iro to her feet. “Yet here you appear, and as easily as milking a cow, you erase him from this world.””
