Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and the Bogeyman in Doctor Who

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Doctor Who season 14, episode 1's gross twist on the Bogeyman is both brilliantly simple and utterly within the spirit of the show - so it's strange this monster idea is only happening now.

The Sandmen from "Sleep No More" were made of sand, the Kandyman from "The Happiness Patrol" was made of candy, the Whisper Men from "The Name of the Doctor" whispered.
