‘Sinister’ writer calls out Home Depot for its knock-off Buhguul decoration to ring in the Halloween season

Home Depot's latest Halloween decoration sure looks spooky. But there's a problem.

The Boogeyman, as he is called, appears to be a rip off of the villain Bughuul from a modern horror classic.

In 2012's Sinister, Boghuul is a demonic entity that lures children into killing their families.

Luckily, Sinister writer C. Robert Cargill called out Home Depot's Bughuul from Wish on X (formerly Twitter).
