The history of The Beldam, or The Other Mother, stretches back way further than we see in the movie or the novella.

The Beldam, also known as The Other Mother was an evil entity whose history extends hundreds of years into the past of a particular house and the alternate world that connects to it. In the movie, this area is known as The Pink Palace Apartments, but the unnamed location in the book is the darker, more sinister version of the story… as is the creature herself.

The story of The Beldam is mostly shrouded in mystery, but using the clues left behind by author Neil Gaiman, we can learn more about the past of this terrifying seamstress, her child victims over the course of hundreds of years and some of the abilities, powers and spells she possesses for the purpose of manipulation and control.

We’ll also explore her role in The Other World, the origins of The Other Father and other life forms in that world, what the Other Mother’s ultimate goal was in the story of Coraline, and a couple of interesting theories about her.

This will cover the entire known history of The Other Mother in Coraline from her messed up origins to the (possible) end of her tyranny in the early 2000s. 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!
