Thanks to the unpredictable world of social media, viral videos and passionate fans, The Babadook became an unexpected and embraced LGBTQ mascot in 2017 and even carried over into last year as well. This year, we fling the closet doors open even further to cement his status!

We’ve created a special release with participation from our fine partners at IFC Midnight: an official limited edition and numbered Pride Month-themed slipcover packaging that will be shrink-wrapped over our existing Blu-ray release. The slipcover has a gloss finish with embossed highlights.

Only 2,500 are being made. This variant will be sold exclusively on Shoutfactory.com.

To further celebrate Pride Month, we are donating a percentage of all sales during the month of June to the Los Angeles LGBT Center®. Their organization provides valuable and much-needed services to many, not just in L.A. but across the country. We also encourage you to consider donating directly to them.

"I've never seen a more terrifying film than The Babadook. It will scare the hell out of you as it did me." – William Friedkin, Director of The Exorcist

"Deeply disturbing and highly recommended" – Stephen King

"A nerve-frying psychological thriller. Brace yourself." – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Amelia (AFI Award winner Essie Davis, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, The Slap) is a single mother plagued by the violent death of her husband. When a disturbing storybook called Mister Babadook turns up at her house, she is forced to battle with her son's deep-seated fear of a monster. Soon she discovers a sinister presence all around her.

A chilling tale of unseen and otherworldly horror in the haunting tradition of The Orphanage, Jennifer Kent's visceral journey into the heart of fear itself is as terrifying as it is believable.
