The Boogie Man is a character from the animated series The Powerpuff Girls. He is the main antagonist of the episode "Boogie Frights". He is a disco-loving Nightmare Monster that plots eternal darkness in Townsville, only to be defeated and hurled into space.
Since then, he has made minor cameo appearances in the series. He appears in the Game Boy Advance game HIM and Seek, where he says he will leave if the girls can beat him in a dance-off.
The Boogie Man is a tall blue monster with sharp teeth, long crooked gray horns on his head, and bumps all over his chin. He wears reddish orange sunglasses and a white suit with a pink collar.
As the leader of the Nightmare Monsters, the Boogie Man loves disco parties. He is confident in carrying out his plan to sustain the darkness, appointing his associates to tend to various tasks to set up his scheme.
After his hotly anticipated entrance, the Boogie Man makes a speech about the Nightmare Monsters' longtime confinement to living underneath people's beds, introducing his plan as a way to lift this limitation and allow the Nightmare Monsters to party all day, forever. This indicates his devotion to his plans.
Associates[]
Jerome: A small green monster wearing orange shades and a yellow jacket and supposedly the Boogie Man's right-hand man. He also appeared in the Gameboy Advance game as a bouncer who would not let the girls in unless they had a password.
Scissors: A bird-like monster, phoned up by Jerome as the Boogie Man requests he cut the power with his jaws, as it being a step in his "grand master plan."
Maggot Monster: No real name given, some sort of slimy worm-like monster wearing a hat who warns the Boogie Man about the sun coming up, appears in the opening screen of the show, in the background of the disco club in Him-and-Seek, and even alongside the Boogie Man as he cameos in The Powerpuff Girls Rule.
Cat Monster: A female, orange skinned, giant feline-like monster wearing leopard skin patterned pants and shirt. She frightens the girls and tells them "Yeah, little girl. I thought you liked to party!" Then, she tries to slash her with her claws, but Buttercup punches her out with one uppercut, making her fly away into the distance. She is credited as "Cat Monster" in the credits and voiced by Tara Strong.
The Boogie Man appeared in a Cartoon Cartoon Fridays "We'll Be Right Back" bumper along with Mojo Jojo.
His voice slightly resembles that of soul singer Barry White.
The Boogie Man is, as his name implies, a boogie man, which is a supernatural night demidevil of Scottish beliefs and indefinite shapes in Anglo-Saxon culture that frightens children in order to discipline them.
His voice and some of the imagery he likes (dice, voodoo symbolism, etc.) is somewhat reminiscent of Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas, who is another character who is referred to as "the Boogie Man".
