Of Course the Babadook Partied at Pride this Weekend
Earlier this month the Internet christened the demon the Babadook, from the 2015 horror film "The Babadook," a new LGBT icon. So, it's no surprise that reports surfaced this weekend showing Pride goers dressed as the top hat-wearing monster.
A number of of Twitter and Instagram users shared photos of Babadook inspired outfits during Pride events this weekend - even GLAAD shared a hilarious photo.
The meme-ification of the Babadook as an LGBT icon started last year when Netflix put "The Babadook" under its LGBT section. After a Tumblr user took a screen shot of it mistake(?) and shared it, a number of users debated the meaning of the film, interoperating the Babadook as a gay man. From there, social media users started to create memes of the fictional character holding rainbow Pride flags.
Below, check out photos of the Babadook celebrating Pride.
