Do you remember the horror movie from 2014, ‘The Babadook’?
The movie, in which the title character is a terrifying manifestation of the female protagonist’s grief and depression, is considered to be one of the best horror movies to come along in recent years. ‘The Babadook’ has already become somewhat of a horror icon, and has also inspired Halloween costumes and all sorts of fan art.
But, now this character has come back in the limelight for a very unexpected reason. All of a sudden, after three years, ‘The Babadook’ has become an overnight sensation, all thanks to Netflix.

For some reason, Netflix listed ‘The Babadook’ under the LGBT sensation and this scary character has become a viral meme across the internet, being hailed as an LGBT icon.
People on Twitter are doing what they do best – making hilarious memes! A lot of people are confused as to how it even started but everyone is still playing along with all the madness.
