The Babadook - Reading Mister Babadook (2014 HD) 

That book is genuinely terrifying

is it just me or is the most brilliantly creepy thing about this the numerous blank pages

How they made the Babadook seem friendly in the beginning of the book, how it made it seem like he was just simply waving to them. When later he is trying to sink his claws into her and looming over her door. Is amazing directing.

This movie scared the shit out of me. This is stuff of true nightmares.

Samuel is both cute and annoying asf

As soon as I see it say “let me in” I suddenly think of that guy screaming “LET ME IN!!!” 😂

I thought this was a very effective horror movie. I was jumping at every shadow after the first time I saw it.

Frigging goodwill books, half unfinished and shit

"Reads happy book to child afterwards to forget the mentally scarring pop up pages of nightmares " same girl same

This story gets me baba-SHOOK

I like how the narration shifts from describing the babadook in the 3rd person for the first few pages, to speaking in 1st person AS the babadook, directly addressing the mother… right at the moment when she stops reading out loud. The filmmakers do so much with so little in this film.

Chill, it'a only Johnny Depp in a top hat.

I would be so pissed if my mom read this book to me before I went to sleep

This is so scary because it’s so relatable. I think we’ve all experienced something that scared us when we were kids that kept us up at night. This brings that feeling back.

I loved all the editing that went into the scene in particular. but probably not the best thing to watch at 1 in the morning

I really loved this movie! People found Sam really annoying, but i thought he was cute. Plus the way he acted wasn't entirely his fault, his mom despised him pretty much so what do you expect. It wasn't till the end of the movie were both Sam and Amelia work together and care for one another. As for the ending, people dont understand it. Well first things off the Babadook isn't a demon, it represents Amelia's grief. "The more you deny me the stronger I get" When something happens to us and we are in grief we tend to hold onto it which is what Amelia is doing. However, it isn't till the end of the movie when Amelia finally accepts everything...That;'s why it ends the way it does. You can never get rid of grief, you can only accept it.

what I love about this is that at 1:33 the monster goes from targeting the boy to targeting whoever's reading the book, as the monster leaves the book becoming 3d instead of 2d and faces the reader instead of the in-book child, while at the same time it opens it's mouth and has those teeth and eyes that signal to your brain "danger danger" as if it were a predator that's just now attacking, and it's hunting YOU.

I think I'll stick to Dr. Seuss books.

The most genuinely scary movie in the last 20 years. Could barely sleep for three weeks after watching it for the first time.

Hipster in a top hat.

The kid got on my DAMN nerves. Wants his mom to read the book to him only to be scared shitless.

Fucking masterful camerawork and sound design... It almost sounded like they used cicada sounds for the "Babadook" theme. Its "theme" that starts and builds slowly everytime the book is opened, sounds like a warm spring night here in Maryland with insects chirping. But they incorporated it into the sound design to the point where it almost becomes part of the atmosphere, and you don't even realize its a sound effect anymore till an onscreen character closes the book and it cuts off. And then the sound designers have you because for the rest of the film, they can blend in that chirping/cicada sound, and you automatically associate it with the Babadook to the point where they don't even need to build atmosphere because their sound is so strong!

The blank pages mean the story hasn't been finished. She is the one who wrote the book and kept writing it in a state of delusion and deep trance. She just didn't remember it. This movie was brilliant from start to finish.

Its that moment where she stops reading in that comforting voice and you the viewer, are left to read the line "and you won't sleep a wink" It's like at that moment a sense of dread and danger washes over you as you realise you aren't safe. Such a brilliant movie, probably one of the best horrors I've ever watched.

I love her voice

My favourite scene.

The first two pages - when she realizes this story is pretty fucking creepy is so unsettling to watch. Such a brilliant scene!

*12 AM* "Just one more video before bed.." *3 AM* "I'm so fucked.."

God that movie was so good. We've all been through this feeling of pure horror being genuinely terrified by a scary story as a kid, we can all feel that again with that scene. What I love is the complexity of the fear we felt, the fact that even if our parents were around, there was nothing they could really do to make us feel better, less frightened, safe. This movie made me feel that again, and what a scary feeling !

After watching this I got scared so i climbed into bed with my parents, they have been dead for 10 years.

Masterful narration, pitch perfect editing, creepy music. This scene is chilling to the bone.

The thing that gave me chills was when she opened up the book after tearing it up and there was written "I'll wager with you I'll make you a bet the more you deny the stronger I get"

I like how you can hear the Babadook cicada whirring sound when the book is opened, but when it closes it disappears. Nice attention to detail, since that sound is what petrified the mom later

I'm an adult and I'd be genuinely stunned, and I wouldn't sleep myself. Imagine reading that to your kid.

Grief is insidious. It seems so simple, yes. But as it envelopes you, with everything, it becomes so taxing, yes. A death and a loss can seem so hurtful, of this we humans know. But the tax of grief and sorrow, is more than we allow. The Babadook is within all people, a hurtful friend to all. But to understand and comprehend, he can surely become so small. A Babadook lies in all of us, folks familiar with loss. He's a meaning, a Metaphor, though for some, at much cost. Grief is horrid, it is deadly, for some it cannot be beared. Sadness is a feeling, for all, it's always shared. But to deal with a Babadook, to move past all the guilt, One must understand this fact: Weep, but never wilt. It is okay to mourn those we can no longer see, but to let the Babadook consume us, our Grief becomes his Glee. Understand your feelings, and feel them once in a while, for to understand the Babadook is to heal in feet and miles. If we can understand the Babadook, we can find a better way, than allowing sadness to grip us, forever and always.

I love how wholesome this is. Just a mother reading a demonic book to her child.

dude my spine always chills and twist at these amazing scenes

Immense gratitude for sharing it !! ✩ fabulous book, story and editing

I realize the line “he’s funny don’t you think” is not only how the mother sees her own grief but probably how the boy also views his mother’s grieving. He finds it strange how she acts because of it but he doesn’t quite understand why she’s like that.

i'm baba sh00k sh00k sHOOkk

Baba Dook! Dook! Dook!

I had to watch this over and over. The book escalates so quickly, it's almost hard to make sense of.

1:50-1:58 is my mother of the year award submission...

I remember watching this on Netflix years ago while I was looking for something to really get on my nerves at 3am. I'm big on horror so nothing scares me that much anymore, and I'm also one of those people who complains when the movie is shitty, plot, effects, and acting wise. I went in without knowing more about this movie, and the moment I knew it was gonna be good was when this scene alone made the hairs on my arm stand up. It's like when I accidentally got up at 3am while the TV is on and watched The Thing without knowing about what I was watching. Truly was horrified as a kid back then.

Finally, you have a best friend, Wonderful and nice. This is Mr. Babadook. At first you will only hear a knock, when he suddenly appears in the darkness. What"s happened? What"s the sound? Can you hear that? Knock-knock-knock. Your friend is taking shape and wants to meet you. On the third knock, its time to run, because he decided to pick you up. Don"t wait for salvation. There"s only one nightmare ahead. Your guest has arrived. Tremble and be afraid, cover your head with fear. will come to you from the darkness. And the morning will never come again.

Still a better love story than Twilight

I think the babadook represents grief. You can only learn to overcome the fear of the grief once you’ve accepted it.Amelia and Sam went through the stages of grief with babadook. Denial, bargaining, anger and acceptances.

Openly gay with an affinity for hats and drama, The Babadook was the first time I ever saw a representation of myself in film.

I love this movie so much but this is the best scene :)

I love the boys reaction its sooo realistic.

This film portrays the child having behavioral issues, which becomes understandable since he is a little bastard in the first, and second act. But in the third act, we realize that his mother, being an abusive parent to the child, we see that the child's behavior is seen through the mothers eyes, and he acts that way because of the abuse and hatred that his mother inflicted on him.

the film love it

This is one of those rare horror films that rewards non-literal and thematic readings, the way the main horror seems to be a concept, or instability, that possesses the mother more than the child, and threatens his safety through her instability, like a metaphor for her fear of her own deteriorating mental condition and her capacity to hurt her own child. It's got legs, this one.

The scariest children book I've ever seen :). Where can I buy it? Just kidding, I don't want Mister Babadook to be growing under my skin. Awesome horror film, I had to see it twice, to catch all of the consequences. Really scary and terrifying daemon and his book is fucking brilliant. It's in the word it's in the look.. You can't get rid of Babadook...

Any reasonable parent would get one page into this book and go "aight, this is going in the trash." Like ah yes, this totally evil looking book is the perfect thing to read to my child before they go to bed.

The sound of her sliding the book across the top at the very end of the clip made me jump, and I thought her arm coming into view was something rising up behind her. You know a scene is tense as all hell when a quiet sound and an ordinary motion in full view of the camera manages to be a jump scare.

Does anybody know Babadook turned around us “A Bad Book”

So this is where bray wyatt got "Let me in."

Honestly I'd want that book lmao The pop out stuff is cool 👍 (The story and concept is pretty cool too) Would tell mom to read it for me haha-

Is anyone else a grown ass adult and scared of a coat hanging up in the corner of their room right now 😰

Everytime the book is opened up and she starts reading it you hear a faint but horrible static buzz in the background. Anybody picked up on that?

This movie is truly terrifying. I love it

One of the first horror films I ever watched. What a way to be introduced to the genre.

Babadook? More like Babashook

I always saw Babadook as the hero who will kill that annoying child in the end.

Several pages of the book are blank because the demon is out of the book, and therefore his story is continuing, and Amelia more than likely created the book in an amnesiac state. So when the book reappears, with the pages filled rather than blank, she is continuing the monster's story. She is creating and empowering him.

The pictures are just terrifying

Samuel: mOM Does It LiVE UNDER THE B E D

Awesome movie!! The mother clearly blames her son for her husband's death, its sad...💔

Take a look! It’s in a book! You can’t get rid of the babadook

Love it

The children choir in the background only makes it creepier

From the creators of the Umbrella Corporation, comes Umbrella Entertainment.

The child is infuriating which actually means he’s an excellent actor !

Her voice is perfect for ASMR

Had the same parenting experience reading ‘Mr Tickle’ to my 3 year old - chilling stuff

Mom: ok I will stop reading the book. The kid: “high pitched demonic screeching”

How to make reading a book suspenseful.

Even the intro to this video scared me

This movie wasn't great but I gotta say it was better than I expected. I had low hopes for it but it wasn't actually all that bad. This scene in particular was pretty creepy.

My favorite horror movie ever.

I read this book for bedtime 😊😊😊😊

After the last page there is actually more pages, I know this because "The Babadook" is a real book you can buy, the rest of the pages are just scarier than the ones we see here. :)

I can’t believe that was a children’s book!

..........NOOOOOOOOO I've already seen that movie before and it gave me nightmares and I'm not kidding a give me nightmares for an entire week and I don't want to see it again 😫

Gosh samuel is the cutest thing ever💜

Best Horror Movie Ever!

This is purely based on what stress, depression and anxiety will do to your head.

You can buy a replica of the book online.

I think I would like this movie more if the protagonists weren't so irritating.

The hero reads a most unsettling passage 66.7% stress damage

Never Read The Babadook Book Gives You Nightmare

I don't care what the book is or looks like if i come home and see a book in my room with no knowledge of now it got there I'm either selling it or destroy it. For this id sell it and hope no one reads it since apparently you can't destroy it.

That owl night light is the creepiest

That is the only movie I've seen on two consecutive days

After watching this it looked like Samuel was upset his Mom switched to another book.

FIRST Why the HELL do they have that book?!!!!

This movie was underrated

And since that time, my lovely boyfriend, imitate the voice of babadook when i shut the light just before sleeping. 😅😅😅😅 He growls : Ba ba doooooook 🙈🙈👹👹👹

*if the babadook came to my house i’d set up a small little tea party.*
