Bodies of Horror: Episode 56 - The Babadook (2014)

Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

This episode is a throwback to a Bodies of Horror classic. Having recently chatted about 2014’s The Babadook, it seemed like an opportune time to discuss the character of Samuel and the Franklin-from-Texas Chain Massacre of it all.
