Double Murder Ep 57: The Babadook vs It Follows
Double Murder presents a very special theme this month: Lady Curses (Non-Menstrual)*. In The Babadook (2014) and It Follows (2014), women are burdened by seemingly otherworldly creatures and struggle to deal with them, but that just scratches the surface. Your usual hosts Danny! and Tim are joined by their life partners Sonya and Jenn (of Jennifer Trok Tattoos fame) to get some added insight and perspective. The gang discuss the themes and metaphors of the films, the use of Australian accents as psychological torture device, and a true curse for any lady: having to be involved with Danny! and Tim.

*Exactly 1,000,000 horror movies have already covered lady curses that are an allegory for menstruation. I’m looking at you, Ginger Snaps.
Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is back later this year with new horror movie Werwulf, and the very first teaser image from the hotly anticipated movie has surfaced tonight.
Oddly enough, this first look comes courtesy of the NBC Store, and it gives us a glimpse at a chilly Winter landscape from the film. Is there a werewolf hiding in the photo? Maybe…
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Robert Eggers recently teased, “It’s the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”
Eggers directs from a script he penned with his The Northman co-writer Sjón.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
Robert Eggers and Sjón produce alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title. Maiden Voyage’s Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are executive producing.
