This October, I’m going to be doing something a little bit different with my contribution to 4 Shots From 4 Films. I’m going to be taking a little chronological tour of the history of horror cinema, moving from decade to decade.
Today, we finish off the 1960s!

Through the Shattered Lens 
My Dad took me to see Rosemary’s Baby. The most horrifying thing for me was the doctor (played by Charles Grodin) who turned on her.

The Devil may not be as impressive as followers might attribute to such a powerful, feared diabolical entity. After all, there was his flop when on top of the drugged Rosemary Woodhouse (at least that’s how I recall it) in order to impregnate her with his prophesy-fulfilling offspring:
“Oh, God,” Rosemary exclaimed, “This is no dream! This is really happening!”
“You bet it’s happening, baby,” Satan smugly confirmed, for he clearly perceived himself as a studly Beelzebub.
Then, six or seven seconds later, Satan prematurely climaxed yet nonetheless appeared pleased with his performance. Rosemary, however, looked up at him with a somewhat disappointed expression, and she said, “What? Is that it?”
To this, of course, Satan betrayed an embarrassedly surprised expression over his phallic failure.
