I believe some or all Satanists were played by actual Satanists.

I’ve watched it many times and it always gives me the creeps in how the husband “pimped” out his wife to the devil...

For a part in a play...

I don’t know much about this movie. I have never seen it - and, now that I know it was directed by Roman Polanski I never will.

Don’t judge him. Artists must make sacrifices for their art...

A pastor in our area recently recanted in a sermon that he had warned his congregation about going to Rosemary’s Baby when the movie first came out. Shortly afterward, he had to exorcise a baby of a mother who had attended the movie.

In spite of Polanski, it’s a good film - tense and creepy. John Cassavetes drank himself to death way too young, the man was talented.

The creepy apartment building is The Dakota. John Lennon lived and I believed was killed in front of it. It was and is home to many famous people.

Good movie, but I could only watch it once. Scared the crap out of me — but not as much as “The Exorcist” did. I can’t believe it’s been 50 years.

Also creepy because Polanski’s wife and unborn baby were murdered the next year by thoroughly evil people. Roman didn’t set up his wife for evil like Guy Woodhouse did, though.

Well it just keeps getting funnier, every single time I see it.

Yoko Ono still lives in the apartment at the Dakota she and John shared. Once you get in you can never leave.

Did the baby also instantly walk for the first time?

Exorcist or Rosemary’s Baby?

I suppose if I were to watch The Exorcist now it wouldn’t bother me so much. When I saw it I was in my early 20s, had left Seminary a few months earlier (one class was “Demonology”), and was alone all night because my hubby was on midnight shift at Air Force base.
