“How the ‘dook Stole Christmas” features the return of Jennifer Kent’s terrifying creature
What’s most menacing about The Babadook is its incredible storybook sequence. The gleeful rhyming with such malicious intent, the wide, hungry […]
“If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look, you can’t get rid of the Babadook.” These are the words that jump off the page of the children’s book that Amelia reads and into her son’s brain, tormenting his thoughts and stealing his sleep. Sadly, he’s not alone. Even Amelia is bothered by the dark figure that smiles out from the storybook, with his crazed expression and long, sharp fingers. Aside from his appearance, what’s even more disturbing about this little novel titled “Mister Babadook” is how it came to be.
Perfectly placed upon the family book shelf, as if it had been there for years, it appeared one day, despite the fact that Amelia couldn’t remember purchasing it or receiving it as a gift from a friend. Even if it had been a gift, who would have given it to her?
Before you see The Babadook, check out the short film director Jennifer Kent helmed that paved the way for the feature film opening November 28th (October 30th on DirectTV only). The 10-minute tale is called Monster and it’s a creepy, strong piece of work in its own right. Watch it via the player here.

When IFC revealed its release plans for The Babadook, I was disappointed to see it wouldn’t be arriving for the Halloween season. Jennifer Kent’s film is perfect for the holiday and delivers goosebumps. But I have some good news (sort of).

Fantastic Fest is still going this week, however, the Austin, Texas event held its awards ceremony last night. A lot of solid horror films played at the fest this year and many of those films deservedly scored kudos. You’ll find a breakdown of winners below.
It should be noted that the horror film that took the “best short” category is one of the films I programmed for Beyond Fest in Los Angeles, so if you’re in town, this will be your chance to check out this bizarre, cool flick.
For Episode 90 of The Bloodcast, hosts Ryan Turek and Clarke Wolfe are returning to their decade series and exploring the films of the 1990s with a very special guest
The Babadook really is one of those films that deserves to come out around Halloween. It’s a great atmosphere piece. Alas, the film is hitting the U.S. this November from IFC Midnight. UK readers, however, will see it land in their neck of the woods this October and a new preview – the “storybook scene” – is on the web; I think it really encapsulates the film’s mood.
The film is written and directed by Jennifer Kent. Put this on your “to see” list.
SpectreVision and Cinefamily in Los Angeles are teaming up once again for another SpectreFest this fall and the full line-up has been revealed.
