My sister sent me a link to a really fun blog called “PLANET
OF TERROR!!”, and thereupon I saw some post about changing the endings of old
movies, and the first in this series was about the great classic horror film: Rosemary’s
Baby. Now, for some reason, I’ve always
linked this movie together in my head with that silly 70s killer-baby movie It’s
Alive, and then connected it with The
Omen, which is using a very similar theme
and idea and story like sort of thing. So I always figured it like this: At the
end of Rosemary’s Baby, we don’t
get to see the baby, but we hear it’s all evil- and deformed-looking. So that
always made me think of Larry Cohen’s silly murderous-baby movie It’s
Alive. And then there’s The Omen, where a couple adopts Satan’s brat, and he tries to
take over the world through politics (which melds very well with Holocaust
2000, etc.).
So I’ve always seen these movies in my fevered imagination
as being somehow intrinsically linked together, and somehow as sequels of
sorts. All they would have to do would be to change a little teensy bit of plot
at the beginning or the end, and it would work perfectly! So maybe they could
even make a TV mini-series out of it on like the SyFy Channel, riddled with bad
digital effects, and call it: The Omen of Rosemary’s Baby: It’s Alive!
Now admit it: You want to see it, don’t you? Especially if
it leads to Holocaust 2000!
