“Häxan, I Married a Witch. These are the ones I feel like I should see.”

“Have you seen this crazy film? This was actually Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages. It's a huge inspiration for The Babadook. It's about the devil and about witchcraft. It's also about women going nuts. Fantastic, so I'm going to have to take that with me.”
