Who's Afraid of the Boogie Man?

I can see that I am on the fast track to addiction. I love to write and I never allow myself an outlet to vent and to tell a story that I just so desperately need to do sometimes. I actually very recently came up with a great idea for a short story/novel. I refuse to post anything about it until I write it because, while I was at Full Sail I wrote a screen play for "The Boogieman". About a boy who was afraid of the boogie man all the way into adulthood & I talked about it often with Wes in between classes where we would brainstorm. I wanted to vomit when "Boogieman" came out in 2005. It was my story. Of course mine was written differently but it was the same basic story. To this day Wes thinks I had big ears listening in to me at Full Sail. Who knows. It's not like Boogieman was a multi million dollar production, but it was MY idea. I wrote the screen play in early 2001 and perfected it along the year... still makes me sad, mine would have been better. I had the idea for a Boogie Man movie ever since I was a child and the Ghost busters cartoon episode of the Boogieman was on. No one had ever done it and children were TERRIFIED of the boogieman. My movie would have been horrifying. But, hell, we'll never know because someone stole my idea. Don't ever talk about a great movie or book idea in a school full of future film makers, it may bite you in the ass.
