Ep. 104 - Krzysztof Komeda's 'Rosemary's Baby'
Based on Books • Drama, Horror, Music, 04-Oct-2021
To kick off the first week of October and our spooky Snapshot series this month in preparation for one of our favorite holidays, who can forget this iconic film? Interestingly, the lullaby you hear in this title credit sequence is the song 'Sleep Safe and Warm', which was composed by Komeda and actually sung by Mia Farrow. It's a really unsettling song considering what happens in the story, and it is repeated again at the end which is even more twisted! Enjoy this one as we kick off October!
