A scene from Halloween 1978
Tommy

What about the boogeyman?

Laurie

There's no such thing.

Tommy

Richie said he was coming after me tonight.

Laurie

Do you believe everything Richie tells you?

Tommy

No.

Laurie

On Halloween night, it's when people play tricks on each other. It's all make-believe. I think Richie was just trying to scare you.

Tommy

I saw the boogeyman. I saw him outside.

Laurie

There was nobody outside.

Tommy

There was!

Laurie

What did he look like?

Tommy

The boogeyman.

Laurie

We're not gettin' anywhere. All right, the boogeyman can only come out on Halloween night, right?...Well, I'm here tonight and I'm not about to let anything happen to you.

Tommy

Promise?

Laurie

Promise.
