Coraline Jones is the brave young girl who valiantly took on the evil known as The Other Mother (also known as The Beldam) and saved her parents from being eternally trapped in the world of the Other. In this video I'll be going through the entire chronological life of Coraline Jones and be doing a complete breakdown and analysis of the character. I'll also do some comparisons between the book and the movie.

This will cover the entire known history of Coraline from her messed up origins to the end of her adventure in the 2002 novella by Neil Gaiman. Please note that this will only analyse her character as it is written in the book. I will show clips from the 2009 movie as a visual aid, but for the purposes of Horror History, the books are canon!

    So Whyborn wasn’t in the book? I thought he was the most sympathetic character on the other side— poor guy got his mouth sewn shut. Always loved the cat too— Keith David’s the man!

    Coraline is 11 in the movie and it was made 11 years ago so it makes her 22 today and her birthday was May 14th which was 2 days ago
  • I have a feeling the Other Father kinda helped her just because he accidentally mimic the real Father's bravery for his daughter.
  • @dizzykitties
    I’ll tell you a scary fact 1. The ghosts faces are like that cuz that’s the face they made when the other-mother sewed the buttons in their eyes 2. The wall paper is simple- the wallpaper has bugs as the wallpaper 3. The pictures are the ghosts 4. The other-father warning song That’s the end of the scaryfacts

    As I said, the true horror of this movie was with the old ladies performing in the teather.
  • The beldam does the opposite of pennywise when luring victims She shows them things they love while pennywise shows them their worst fears.
  • @ldishchyan
    Coraline reminds me of the story of Hansel and Gretel. They were both tricked into believing the illusion of this perfect home with everything they could ever want and end up tricking the witch whether it’s putting her in the oven or down a well.
  • @MW-qq6pc
    Oh that poor poor child. She must be TRAMATIZED.
  • I can only imagine how coraline would tell her kids and grandkids about her....adventure
  • @anotherway6427
    This man forgot about the most interesting part of the story. When Coraline escapes the other mother and is walking through the hallway she senses the presence of another creature more ominous and ancient than the Beldum.
  • @Skullfire56
    I personally feel Coraline physically escaped of course where she can see her friends, family, and live a normal life afterwards. However, overall, in terms of her mental and emotional attributes, the Beldam will always have memory in Coraline.

    My first horror movies as a kid, Coralline and Monster House
  • Hey did y’all know that on the cake that the other mother gave coralline, when she gets there the first time, it says “welcome home” but it’s in cursive right? In the ‘O’ in welcome there is only one loop in it but the ‘O’ in the home.. there is two loops. If you didn’t know when someone puts two loops in their O it means they are lying. So that means that the other mother was hinting that coralline was welcome but not home :)
  • @bil5627
    call me crazy, but this is one of the most scary movies I’ve ever watched. when I meant scary I meant the theories.)

    English teacher: Why is Coralines hair blue? Me: Idk is there a reason? English teacher: It symbolizes her sadness when her parents have gone missing Also English teacher: asks the author Author: Idk it was the first color that came to mind

    The real story of Caroline is way scarier: (btw it’s just a myth) one day these two little girls, Blue Eyes and Turkey, were walking home one day when they say this woman playing a drum. Every time the girl would play the drum little people would come out of it and dance. The little girls thought this was so amazing and they wanted the drum so bad. But the woman told them the only way she would give them the drum is if they were naughty. So the girls went home and started doing things bad to get the drum. They’re mother started to get upset bc they were misbehaving. The next day the little girls went back to the spot the woman was playing the drum on. She was still there and the little girls told her abt how they were bad so they could get the drum. The woman told them they weren’t bad enough so when they got home they were even more bad. They’re mother told them that if they continue to be naughty she would leave and horrible new mother with a wooden tail and glass eyes would come and be they’re new mother. The girls didn’t take her seriously and they went back to the spot the woman played the drum at. She said they still weren’t naughty enough. So they went home and were the absolute most horrible they could be to their mother. The next day the woman said they STILL weren’t naughty enough to get the drum. So they went home and when they walked in their mother was gone and all that was there was a horrific, terrifying woman with a wooden tail and glass eyes......,( this is the version I heard maybe a few things are different abt this story, this is just what I heard)
