William Main:

I watched Rosemary’s Baby again after you mentioned it on your show last week. I noticed RB was produced by William Castle (director of House on Haunted Hill). The point of HHH is that there are no ghosts – the source of horror is the living not the dead. But in RB Polanski takes supernatural horror at face value – there really is a Devil and a witches coven. Castle deconstructs the horror film while Polanski (at least in RB) continues to take it seriously. Isn’t 20th Century Polish history far more horrifying than any supernatural horror film could ever be? Maybe Castle deserves credit as a more sophisticated director than Polanski. Just thinking....

Not related to the krautrock MESSAGE, I assume (bacillus label) - There's one absurdly expensive LP of theirs that keeps popping up on Discogs (large skull+snake photo on cover) always something like eleven million dollars...
  3:56pm
William Main:

What I mean is that Polanski does not deconstruct the horror film genera as Castle does.
Avatar 🎸 ♥ 3:56pm
Rev. Turnip Druid:

It would appear Rich is correct.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:57pm
Rich in Washington:

I really love Rosemary's Baby for that very reason. It leaves you thinking that poor Rosemary is crazy, hysterical, then pulls the rug out from under us. It's like a parent revealing that there is indeed a monster under the bed. Polanski's 9th Gate is similar. So is that recent movie The Witch.

Fabio:

@William Main: Although you are right about the general plot of Rosemary's BAby, I would argue that Polanski was getting at something much more sinister than just plain ole Satanism, like the corruptibility and weakness of your average human and the lengths they will go to to be on top and get what they want -- How you get there is just the vehicle. As horror films go, it is genuinely disturbing -- even now. Whereas William Castle's movies, though entertaining, are sorta silly. Also, Polanski directed The Fearless Vampire Killers, which is a send up of horror/Vampire movies.

@Fabio, William Main: That's one of the nightmarish aspects of RB IMO. Her husband just shamelessly in the background when the full horror of her predicament is revealed. Being betrayed by someone who's supposed to love and protect you. That's real visceral horror.

William Main:

Thanks for your reply, Fabio. Yes, Polanski parodied the horror genera in FVK. In that sense RB is a “regression” because he’s taking horror tropes at face value again (at least for the sake of scoring a popular success). To see a horror movie that depicts the “corruptibility and weakness of your average human” check out Witchhammer (1970) by Otakar Vavra. It’s available on YouTube.
