Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Horror’s Most Memorable Babies! D’awwww…

In keeping with the whole "evil horror babies" theme, Remy and I decided to look back on the horror genre and discuss our favorite, well, "evil horror babies." Some are zombies, some are demons - hell, some are even human! That's the power of the horror genre, taking those things that should represent happiness, and turning those smile-producing normalities into all that is unholy. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way suggesting we should all act like Kyle Broflovski and "kick the baby," but if you were ever to kick any baby, it'd probably be one of these little buggers.

Remy – Rosemary’s Baby (Rosemary’s Baby)

I find it very odd that I have not talked about this movie yet on one of my lists. It’s an absolute classic and superbly directed by Roman Polanski. There’s probably no need for me to talk up the basics of this movie, as I would think most of you have seen it or know enough about it by now, but for the few who haven’t. Please, allow me a moment.

Rosemary and her husband, a struggling actor, just moved into a new apartment complex and are trying to have a baby. They have some colorful neighbors, and one night after a dinner party, Rosemary passes out and has a very clear vision of being raped by some demonic creature. She wakes up with scratches, but has it all explained away by her husband. He then reveals he orchestrated sexual intercourse with her while she was passed out because they were trying to conceive and he didn’t want to miss when she was ovulating (there’s those lines that Polanski loves to blur). Flash forward and she is pregnant. Rejoice quickly gives way to paranoia as Rosemary is convinced she is giving birth to the Devil’s child. Finding out the delivery date is June, 1966 doesn’t help matter, either.

If I said much more at this point, I would ruin it. Ah, f@ck it, the movie is REALLY old.

So Rosemary gives birth to the baby and DING DING, it is Satan’s child. The kicker? Her Mom juices kick in, and she’s like “word, I’ma raise this bitchin’ kid as my own!” I don’t know why I put that in quotes, as that is not a direct quote, clearly, but it just happened, so moving on…

What did we learn today, kids? Moms in the movies are totes down with devil kids, but break a few lamps and get kicked out of school for fighting and they send you to a military academy.

Sorry, I’m still bitter.
