On Day 7 of our 31 Days of Halloween, I go solo with Jennifer Kent’s modern horror classic The Babadook (2014). While the film is often praised for its psychological depth and chilling metaphor for grief, I’ll be honest—it isn’t one of my favorites, largely because of the upsetting dog violence. Still, I explore its lasting cultural impact, unforgettable performances, and why it continues to spark debate among horror fans more than a decade later.
