This episode of Horror Joy delves into the chilling world of The Babadook, a film that has been interpreted as both a study in grief and a queer icon.
Joining us is S. Trimble, an Assistant Professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Toronto, to explore these shadowy perspectives.
We'll discuss:
- Grief and the Monstrous: The film's exploration of grief and how it manifests as a monstrous figure.
- The Babadook's Queer Identity: The reinterpretation of The Babadook as a queer character challenging societal norms.
- Queer Feelings and Horror: How queerness can reveal emotions often overlooked in traditional horror.
- Challenging Family Dynamics: The way The Babadook subverts the traditional family unit..
Join us as we descend into the basement of The Babadook to explore its queer undertones and the ways in which horror can challenge our understanding of identity and normalcy.
