|'''Minnie Castevet'''}}
A novel by Ira Levin, '''''Rosemary's Baby''''' became better known as a 1968 film by [[Roman Polanski]]. It starred Mia Farrow as the eponymous Rosemary, who moves in with her husband Guy into a New York apartment. Their neighbors are the Castevets, an elderly couple who seem nice enough at first. She has a dream where she is raped by a demon, only to learn she is pregnant a few weeks later. It is eventually revealed that {{spoiler|the Castevets are part of a Satanic cult}} and that {{spoiler|Rosemary's Baby is the Antichrist himself}}.

* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: Rosemary becomes suspicious of her husband and the neighbors he's befriended. {{spoiler|She discovers her suspicions are all too horribly true. She tries to escape. She fails. It wouldn't have made any difference if she'd succeeded. In the end, she just gives up.}} What was at stake? [[
** {{spoiler|She doesn't give up in the book, though. She first plans to grab the baby and jump out the window with it to kill it, then plans to agree to raise it, with the intent of guiding it to be a good person and not evil.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Rosemary mentions in passing that she and Guy enjoyed watching a production of ''[[The Fantasticks]]'' the other day.
