The True Story Behind 'Other Mommy'

The horror novel Incidents Around the House, written by Josh Malerman, drew its eerie inspiration from a real-life bedtime remark his brother shared about a child greeting an "Other Mommy." This chilling premise follows a young protagonist whose family is targeted by a sinister closet entity demanding entry into her heart. The acclaimed book was subsequently adapted into a feature film titled Other Mommy, directed by Rob Savage and produced by James Wan. In this cinematic version, actress Jessica Chastain takes on the terrifying dual responsibility of portraying both the mother and the monstrous double wearing her face.
