10 years on, and we still cant get rid of the Babadook and thats fantastic for horror lovers.
How Does The Babadook End?
The strength of the ending toThe Babadookcomes in part from the journey it takes to get there.
When she does, the book scares Sam, andAmelia suffers another sleepless nighttrying to quiet Sam’s tears.
The book prophesied that she would kill Sam and then take her own life afterward.
But, of course,it does not die,because you cant get rid of the Babadook.

Later, her sister asks her how it was today.
“Ba ba ba dook dook dook.”
Unfortunately,the more Amelia tries to ignore their grief and trauma,the worse things get.
However,Amelia is not able to best the Babadook alone.
Is The Babadook Real or All in Amelias Head?
The general gist of the theory is correct:The Babadookis a metaphor.

Amelia is connecting with her sister and seems to have a budding romance with her co-worker.
They haven’t completely processed and moved on from their trauma becausethe Babadook is still in their basement.
Amelia and Sam will forever have to live with the fact that Oskar is dead.
Even if Amelia remarries, this will not reverse the loss.
