==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Nudity, Adult Content, Sexual Situations)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not very "Lovecraftian", except for the bizarre little race of tentacle-monster-things living in the caverns under a haunted house.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

==Synopsis==

{{spoiler|
Razor-sharp tentacles wrap around legs after two guys and their girlfriends move into a cabin near an abandoned silver mine.
}}

==Notes==

===Comments, Trivia, Dedication===

* The word "boogens" is meant to be a contraction of "boogie men".

===Associated Mythos Elements===
* race: "[[Tentacle Monser|boogens]]"

===Keeper Notes===

* The premise of this film might make a neat little one-shot Call of Cthulhu scenario, given a little adaptation for researching the history of the house and the "boogens" creatures.
