There’s an evil boogeyman out there, and he can control your mind if you think of him! Which is a problem, because his name is so stupid that you can’t possibly NOT think of it! He’s the Bye Bye Man, and he’s coming to possess your home video player this April: digital on April 11, and discs on April 25. Universal sent us this press release detailing what’s in here.

Reviews and post-release buzz also weren’t flattering. But someone out there must want it…. FROM THE PRODUCER BEHIND OCULUS AND THE STRANGER COME THE TERRIFYING SUPERNATURAL THRILLER THE BYE BYE MAN AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL HD ON APRIL 11, 2017 AND ON BLU-RAY AND DVD ON APRIL

There are a lot of boogeymen who can be summoned by calling their names, but the Bye Bye Man takes it one step further — just thinking about him lets him creep into your head. Hence the annoying slogan, screamed over and over in promotion: “DON’T SAY IT DON’T THINK IT DON’T SAY IT DON’T THINK IT DON’T SAY IT DON’T THINK IT!!!!” How is that fair, and how can you even fight him? The old game about trying not to think of elephants taught you it’s impossible to will yourself not to think of something without thinking of it in the first place. On top of this, how
