A pregnancy can be a pleasurable or a terrible experience (depending on how you look at it). In Rosemary's Baby (1968, Roman Polanski), it's a pregnancy that starts off bad from the point of conception. Mia Farrow plays Rosemary Woodhouse, a newly-wed with her husband, Guy, in a New York apartment. Their new neighbors seem nice, but what Rosemary doesn't know is that the old couple next door are Satanists that are plotting with Guy against Rosemary.One notable element of this horror film is the score. It was composed by Krzysztof Komeda who is a jazz pianist that composed several films for Roman Polanski. Like some other motifs from thrillers, the song has a 'creepy' voice singing what seems to be a lullaby. It fits with the baby theme of the movie.

Have a penchant for terror movies Connor? Personally they aren't my favorite. I haven't seen this one, but the music sample was weird and really repetitive. I think it would get annoying after hearing it for awhile and detract from the film.
What's your favorite slasher franchise? Personally I like Child's Play the best (minus Seed of Chucky.) Other than that my favorite is probably Friday the 13th because Jason is so bad ass.
