The Boogens - James L. Conway - (1982) DVD

Boogens are killer monsters who are released from a closed land mine after mine workers blast it open after a 100 years. (One of the promo tag lines was After 100 years, someone has reawakened The Boogens!) Some college-age kids rent a house in the woods, and the Boogens seem to have taken over the basement. Everyone hears noises coming from the basement but think nothing of it.

One of my favorite characters was the old, old man whose great-grandfather was killed by Boogens. He approaches the miners and nervously rambles, Boogens...Boogens...Ya had to let 'em out, didn't ya! Couldn't leave well enough alone, could ya! The Boogens remain unseen until the last few minutes of the movie, and you will hit the floor laughing once you see a Boogen. (There are supposedly hordes of Boogens running loose, but perhaps because of budget problems, we see only one.) The Boogen looks like a giant turtle shell with elephant trunks for legs and the face looks like a Muppet on a crystal meth binge
