'A Quiet Place' Writers to Adapt Stephen King's 'Boogeyman'

A Quiet Place writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who worked with John Krasinski on the recent smash hit horror screenplay, are in the process of adapting Stephen King's novel The Boogeyman for the silver screen, Varietyreports.

The Boogeyman is a short story written by King in 1973--child murders play a significant role in the plot, as well as the office of a psychotherapist, and lots of people screaming out "boogeyman!"
