If you're like me and want to know if one could possibly order a copy of The Babadook book, then you're in luck. The book, albeit a bit on the pricey side, is available to order here. I can think of some bratty kids I'd like to read it to...


What'd we think of The Babadook?
(Out of 5 stars)


In this episode we spend a little time talking about the short film, Monster, which served as the inspiration for The Babadook. If you haven't seen it yet and want to check it out, we highly encourage it!


For our next movie, we will be covering American Mary, a film that touches on med school, student debt, and the world of underground body modification surgeries. This is not your typical horror movie but it's definitely worth the watch!
