The Babadook creator Jennifer Kent is officially embracing his gay icon status.
The creature from 2014 horror film The Babadook was embraced as a symbol by the LGBT+ community after a 2016 Netflix glitch saw the film accidentally placed in the LGBT+ section.
Three years on there’s still no stopping The Babadook, who remains a regular staple at Pride events across the world. A poll this month found that 6 percent of LGBT+ people still consider The Babadook a gay icon, only three points behind Taylor Swift.
