Summary

Paul & Amy knock three times on 2014's Australian psychological horror film The Babadook! They learn how director Jennifer Kent was influenced by classic creature features, spotlight a trope most horror films use that this one avoids, and explore why the film is such a relatable depiction of parenting. Plus: A look at the Babadook's second life as an LGBT icon. This is the second episode of our “Unghouled” horror miniseries; next week’s film is Night Of The Living Dead!
