The Babadook is a 2014 Australian psychological horror film written and directed by Jennifer Kent, expanding on her 2005 short Monster in her feature debut. Starring Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman, it follows a widowed mother and her increasingly unhinged son as they confront a mysterious, top-hatted entity that may—or may not—be grief in a trench coat. The haunting score is by Jed Kurzel.

At the ASHA conference in Seattle, I had the opportunity to meet Gabriella Cameron and Jennifer Kent, who presented on their Theme-Based Collaborative Groups within the Endeavour Program at Ivymount, a nonpublic, publicly funded special education environment serving students aged 5–21.Gabriella and Jen's theme-based groups are embedded within Endeavour, offering structured but flexible learning experiences tailored to each student. Any student who can tolerate working in a group is a candidate, as the focus is on skill exposure rather than mastery, creating opportunities for participation at varying levels.Each group consists of 5–6 students, each supported by a 1:1 aide, alongside a specialist (SLP, OT, PT) and a group leader. The framework includes:Selecting a theme (e.g., Martin Luther King Jr.).Adapting a story/song for accessibility.Identifying vocabulary using a language board.Asking WH-questions, allowing responses through speech or AAC.Engaging in a supplemental activity, such as an OT craft or a PT movement task.Looking ahead, Gabriella and Jen are exploring ways to measure skill acquisition, enhance motivation, incorporate high-tech AAC, and share their resources more broadly—paving the way for more inclusive and meaningful learning experiences.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Small groups foster an inclusive learning approach.The repeatable framework of theme-based collaborative groups.The value of skill exposure.An environment that increases multidisciplinary support.  Future goals for theme-based collaborative groups. Mentioned In This Episode:Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

We're Babashook we get to speak to writer / director Jennifer Kent for The Babadook 10th Anniversary and chat all things terrifying, how horror is deeply personal, and everyone's favorite spooky gentleman, Mr. 'dook. More about Jennifer Kent: Jennifer worked extensively as an actor in Australia before establishing her career as a writer/director. THE BABADOOK premiered at Sundance in 2014, and received over 100 nominations and awards internationally. Jennifer's second film THE NIGHTINGALE won the Jury Prize and the Marcello Mastroianni award at Venice Film Festival in 2018, as well as winning five Australian Academy (AACTA) Awards. Recently, she wrote and directed “The Murmuring,” an episode of the acclaimed Netflix anthology GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES. She has three feature films in development as well as two TV series. More about The Babadook: Six years after the violent death of her husband, Amelia (Essie Davis) is at a loss. She struggles to discipline her ‘out of control' 6 year-old, Samuel (Noah Wiseman), a son she finds impossible to love. Samuel's dreams are plagued by a monster he believes is coming to kill them both. When a disturbing storybook called ‘The Babadook' turns up at their house, Samuel is convinced that the Babadook is the creature he's been dreaming about. His hallucinations spiral out of control, he becomes more unpredictable and violent. Amelia, genuinely frightened by her son's behaviour, is forced to medicate him. But when Amelia begins to see glimpses of a sinister presence all around her, it slowly dawns on her that the thing Samuel has been warning her about may be real.

Today, we're celebrating a special milestone—the 10th anniversary of The Babadook— with director, Jennifer Kent. The Babadook was Jennifer's feature debut and has since become an iconic classic and one of the GOATs of horror.Jennifer has been recognized for her ability to craft horror with heart, making audiences not only tremble but also reflect deeply on the emotional struggles at the core of her stories. Her follow-up film, The Nightingale, is a brutal yet emotionally resonant tale of revenge set in 1820s Tasmania. And Jennifer also wrote and directed The Murmuring for Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities anthology series on Netflix. The episode starred The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln and reunited her with Babadook star Essie Davis.The Babadook is back in theaters starting today, through Sunday, September 22nd so be sure to check your local listings and catch it on the big screen!This episode feels like years of film school in 45 minutes as Jen offers a wealth of insights and lessons and I can honestly say, this is my favorite interview I've ever done of the Nick Taylor Horror Show and definitely the most insightful.We dive into Jennifer's journey, from her early career as an actress to transitioning into filmmaking under the mentorship of Lars von Trier as well as her creative process, how she approaches working with actors, and how she brings terrifying visions to life through practical effects, meticulous sets and sound design. We'll also discuss what makes The Babadook so enduring, the power of horror as a storytelling tool and much much more.There are three big topics we did not cover in this interview because Jennifer has spoken at length about them in previous interviews so I will cover these really quickly up front.Number One: The Babadook as a Queer Icon. A Netflix glitch mistakenly categorized The Babadook under the LGBTQ+ genre causing an outpouring of memes parodying the error. But, what began as an online joke morphed into something meaningful for the queer community as powerful metaphors emerged. In The Babadook, the monster symbolizes repressed emotions and trauma and many in the queer community saw parallels between this and the experience of repressing one's identity. The film's message of embracing and living with one's inner "monster" instead of destroying it is also seen as a metaphor for self-acceptance. Furthermore, The Babadook can be seen as a "destroyer of families," which parallels and parodies certain rhetoric about queerness being a threat to traditional family structures and in one scene the Babadook literally emerges from a closet.Number Two, the possibility of a Babadook Sequel: Jennifer has been very clear that there will never ever be a sequel to The Babadook. She made sure to retain the rights to any sequels and said she will never allow one to be made. To her, The Babadook is a film that stands alone, and a sequel would destroy its integrity.Number Three: Did Amelia Write the Babadook book?: This topic has been speculated by fans and even raised on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs. It's revealed that Amelia used to write children's books, so it would make sense that she created the Babadook book as a form of coping with her trauma. Jennifer has said that this was intended but never said outright which allows for multiple interpretations. I personally think she did write the book.Alright, before we get to the interview, I owe a huge thank you to the team at IFC, specifically Danielle Freiberg and Rob Scheer for their support in making this happen. I've wanted to chat with Jen since I started this podcast and this interview was a treat and an honor and I thank you both truly. Without further ado, here is Jennifer Kent, Director of The...

This week the boys reveal a prank that has been played on one of the cast - can you guess which one :D "The Babadook," directed by Jennifer Kent and released in 2014, is a psychological horror film that explores the depths of grief, trauma, and motherhood. The story centers on Amelia, a single mother played by Essie Davis, who struggles to cope with the death of her husband and the challenging behavior of her young son, Samuel, portrayed by Noah Wiseman. Their lives take a sinister turn when a mysterious pop-up book titled "Mister Babadook" appears, unleashing a malevolent presence that begins to haunt their home. As Amelia grapples with her own inner demons and the terrifying reality of the Babadook's presence, the film delves into themes of mental illness, repression, and the bond between mother and child. What sets "The Babadook" apart is its nuanced exploration of horror through psychological and emotional layers. Rather than relying solely on jump scares and gore, the film builds an atmosphere of dread and tension through its expertly crafted visuals and sound design. Kent's direction, coupled with Davis's powerful performance, creates a deeply affecting portrayal of a woman on the brink of collapse, struggling to protect her child from both external and internal threats. "The Babadook" has been praised for its originality, thematic depth, and chilling atmosphere, earning it a reputation as one of the most acclaimed horror films of the 2010s.

The Holdovers (2023) Directed by Alexander Payne “Alexander Payne's The Holdovers is not the kind of film you would expect to contain a dose of movie magic, but there it is, right there in the lead performance by Paul Giamatti.” [Derek Armstrong, ReelGood] THE HOLDOVERS is a comedy-drama directed by Alexander Payne (Election, Sideways and Nebraska to name a few…) and set in the winter of 1970. Paul Giamatti plays a strict, pompous teacher at a New England boarding school who is forced to chaperone a handful of students with nowhere to go on Christmas break. The Holdovers is more than just a Christmas movie - it observes some people's natural levity in late December, while others feel sorrow over those who are now absent, or maybe were never there in the first place. Catch Flick and this week's guest reviewers Dr. Jess Balanzategui and Zach Ruane discuss their thoughts on Payne's newest film THE HOLDOVERS.

Not to mention: how the Babadook gained icon status, potential unseen partners for Mrs. Roach, why Samuel doesn't deserve a birthday party or a DAAAAAAD, and so much more!You've hidden us away, burned us, and tore us up, but somehow we always find our way back. To quote another famous wordsmith, "You've got 99 problems (Night Howls movie episodes) and The Babadook is now one!" Thanks for listening!Twitter/Instagram: @nighthowlspod

Get ready for your next pour from our Supernatural Horror keg as we talk about a recent horror hit: The Babadook. We take a trip to Australia to talk through Jennifer Kent's feature debut. Kent pairs scares with a thought-provoking metaphor as a terrifying monster haunts a mother and son. Since its release in 2014, The Babadook has gained a reputation as one of the best horror movies of the 2010s, as well as birthing internet memes and even a wonderfully silly discourse: is the Babadook an LGBT+ icon? Pour yourself a beer and listen along as Christian and Scott sit down to see if The Babadook deserves its positive reputation. Got a supernatural horror film you love? Or, have any ideas for future kegs we should tap?
