I recently dove into The Babadook for a second time, since it was just sitting there in my Netflix queue, calling out to me like some sort of hellish Siren. This is a movie that’s stuck with me not just because of its effective use of atmosphere, or how genuinely frightening it often is. In the end, it’s a story about two damaged, grieving people who are tied together by blood, a mutual loss and eventually, a mutual enemy.
There are few horror movie villains who are worth paying tribute to through cosplay more than the Babadook. He’s a perfect for it, with his imposing form, pale face and freakishly long hands. I think this cosplayer nailed all of the above, but I’ll let you decide.
