“All I tried to do was bring my love of that character into it,” he says. “I went out of my way to make it look different in every shot, changing the padding within the mask just on my own to set it off, changing the way it’s placed on him, changing the paint stains. So it’s constantly evolving and changing like the Boogeyman. I don’t think a lot of people knew that I was doing that.”
I didn’t know he did that, but after seeing the movie I’d suspected it. The mask looks different in almost every scene, down to the paint, the stretch, etc. You could tell they kept playing with the look throughout the movie and I thought that was really cool.
I thought there was a moment when he was banging on that kitchen island and looking down and to the right that for a second there I was like, “That totally looks like the phone scene!” ….then it was over.
Looking forward to the Blu-Ray just to see (and pause) that scene again. To either confirm or deny that I saw what I thought I saw.
