Critical reception
AllMovie gave the documentary a negative review, writing, "Boogeymen [...] [reduces] a mystifyingly broad range of films into the lowest common denominator of trading cards and role playing."[1]
Sequel
In 2002, FlixMix released a DVD entitled, Ultimate Fights. It featured the most intense fights ever to appear in the movies. There was supposed to be another FlixMix title that was never released, which was called Crack Me Up. It was planned to feature the funniest clips from the most recent blockbusters. In 2012, it is announced that a second Boogeymen compilation will be premiered on YouTube, which will feature 17 new horror villains like, Hannibal Lecter, Pennywise the clown and the Jigsaw Killer from Saw.
Trivia
Gunther from the movie The Funhouse was meant to appear in the Boogeymen: The Killer Compilation, but he didn't appear in the list. However, there were commercials of him as one of the Boogeymen.
On the cover of the DVD and poster, the picture of Jason Voorhees is from Friday the 13th Part III, while the scene featured in the compilation is from Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.
Child's Play 2 and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday are the only sequels to appear in the compilation.
