That’s right, Im talking about the Other Mother.

Pretty scary, right?

The Other Mother in Coraline

However, her role in the movie is more than just a monster.

The first is her appearance.

But there is something a little off about her, a certain uncanniness: her button eyes.

“The only difference being button eyes.

But I didn’t want them to be horrific.”

Another factor is, of course, her very relatable victim.

“Its the loss of love, but also the loss of sustenance and survivability.”

“It really was about survival and disappointment,” Hatcher explains in relation to the Beldams final moments.

Her persona has completely gone and she is begging for Coraline to stay.

You know, that’s real desperation."

It’s that she has humanity in her that we all can recognize.
