The Babadook

The Babadook is a sinister creature from the 2014 Australian horror film of the same name—a tall, pale figure in a top hat who emerges from a children's pop-up book to torment a grieving mother and her son.

The monster functions as a metaphor for depression and unprocessed grief.

If it's in a word, or it's in a look, you can't get rid of the Babadook.

The character has become a queer icon after Netflix miscategorized the film under LGBT movies, spawning memes that embraced the Babadook as a gay symbol.
