''"I know."'' ([[Red Eyes, Take Warning|eyes glow red]]) }}
* ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'', where we had the Boogeyman and something called "the Grundel". As if that's not enough, two Busters from different generations receive visits from them (Egon was tormented by the Boogeyman as a child, thus his impetus to study the paranormal; Kylie ''resisted'' the call of the Grundel, so he took her friend Jack instead.)
** Three of the Ghostbusters prove to be [[Flat Earth
* The first ''[[Martin Mystery]]'' episode has a boogeyman as the [[Monster of the Week]]. He kidnaps naughty children and takes them to his storybook bog world.
* One of these showed up in a short of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]''. Unfortunately for it, the bed he tries hiding under belongs to [[Enfant Terrible|Heloise]].
* The stop-motion animated series ''[[Bump in the Night]]'' had as the main protagonist a small green monster that lived under a young boy's bed who ate socks and dust-bunnies, called Mr Bumpy. His best friend was a blue slime-monster that lived in the house's bathroom (who was a bit of a neat-freak.) Neither of them were scary, and Mr Bumpy acted more like a traditional boggart (trickster) than scary. There was, however, a scary Closet Monster made up of dirty clothes, with coat-hanger claws and a washing-basket shell like a turtle.
* The rather obscure 80's cartoon show ''[[My Pet Monster]]'' had the titular monster being so bad at scaring kids, it made friends with one of them; of course, this doesn't sit well with the rest of his species, who are rather traditionalist when it comes to monster-kid interactions.
* Referenced in ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]
* Played with in ''[[The Simpsons]]''. When Marge gets addicted to slot machines in ''$pringfield'', Lisa's forced to turn to Homer when she has a dream about the boogeyman. Upon hearing the very word Homer freaks out, orders the windows and doors locked, grabs his shotgun, and holes up the rest of the family in his bedroom until Marge comes home. And by the time Marge gets home the door has a noticeable hole in it.
