The Babadook

Description
For our third instalment of Spooktoberfest, we're joined by Will Foxton to stage the iconic Aussie horror flick The Babadook. We discuss how much this film scared Caleb; the lasting impact of the Babadook as a gay icon; and how to genuinely make the most of this beautiful story about grief as we bring it into a theatrical space. We also tackle the logistical challenge of a young boy being thrown around the stage and a small dog that has to be murdered every night. Find Will Foxton on twitter.
