Bogeyland

Bogeyland

Bogeyland is the abode of the "bogeymen" (and presumably, "bogeywomen") in Laurel and Hardy's 1934 film "Babes in Toyland" and the Technicolor remake from 1961 from Walt Disney. (Victor Herbert's popular 1903 operetta "Babes in Toyland" formed the basis for the two films but they include almost none of Herbert's songs and their plots bear virtually no relation to Herbert's book)

In the story, Bogeyland is separated from Toyland by a crocodile-infested river situated just outside the gate of Toyland. It is a dark, cavernous place, where twisted cypress trees grow, and many stalactites and stalagmites protrude from its rocky landscape.

Citizens of Toyland who committed serious crimes could be banished to Bogeyland; once there, they would be set upon and bitten by the Bogeymen, after which the offenders would become Bogeymen themselves.
