Summary

In this week's episode we discuss the 2014 Australian horror film "The Babadook," which brings us a rare visit to 'Pap-Pap's Compliment Corner' along with discussions of the most dangerous continent, purchasing weaponry on the internet, presidents serving non-consecutive terms in office, insomnia and a few theories on what the Babadook actually is. We want to hear from you: what's your theory? What did you think of this movie? Please post it on our Facebook page, facebook.com/werewolfambulance.

We also referenced a couple things in this episode that we'd like to give you links for:

The book "The Thing" by Dylan Trigg: http://www.zero-books.net/books/thing
