ROSEMARY'S BABY

OCTOBER 15

Spooky Season Screenings

You can make a strong argument that Rosemary's Baby is the greatest horror movie ever made- certainly an eminently influential blueprint for all thrillers after Rosemary's offspring came forth in 1968 to shock audiences. With sumptuous performances by Mia Farrow and (Oscar winning) Ruth Gordon and uncanny direction by Roman Polanski, Rosemary's Baby is even more disturbingly effective today.

A young wife comes to believe that her offspring is not of this world. Waifish Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow) and her struggling actor husband Guy (John Cassavetes) move to a New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and odd neighbors Roman and Minnie Castavet (Sidney Blackmer, Ruth Gordon). When Rosemary becomes pregnant she becomes increasingly isolated, and the diabolical truth is revealed only after Rosemary gives birth.
