White Zombie version
Шаблон:Infobox song American band White Zombie originally recorded a cover of "I'm Your Boogie Man" for The Crow: City of Angels Soundtrack. However, since the song's release date, it has also appeared on Rob Zombie's greatest hits album Past, Present & Future and as a remixed version on the EP Supersexy Swingin' Sounds.
The audio samples in the song where children are heard saying "He's gonna get you! The Boogieman is coming!" are taken from the 1978 film Halloween, which would later be remade in 2007 by Rob Zombie. The remixed version was also heard on a Halloween episode of the ABC television series 666 Park Avenue.
Reception
The song earned White Zombie their third and final Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance in 1997.[14] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called the cover "embarrassingly predictable, humorless, and clueless."[15]
