This week, we take you back to the things that haunted you as a child: shadows that look a bit too much like people, bumps under the bed, and closets that act as portals through space and time!

No, it's not a sci-fi film. Its 2005's Boogeyman! This Sam Raimi produced film stars the oldest son from 7th Heaven as a man who has been terrorized since childhood by an evil entity that lurks in the shadows. He must return home to face his fears and stop this monster from claiming the lives of more children.

Created by Eric Kripke, this movie plays out like a dry run for the formula of his eventual hit show, Supernatural. Handsome leading man, monsters out of folklore and urban myth, and dark shadowy sets.

Pete relays why he has a soft spot for this mediocre horror flick, while Sarah plays "spot that actor before they broke big". Hint: this movie is worth half your daily servings of Deschanel sisters.

Tune in as we discover what goes bump in the night, and remember: don't get too scared...
