The Films: We have to hand it to Catholicism for owning and perpetrating the copyright on Satanism and all that it spawns. In my time the first mainstream film to take the subject seriously was Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby from 1968, based on Ira Levin's bestseller from the previous year. It wasn't about the baby so much as the mother played by a very young (23) and translucent Mia Farrow. The movie ended with the birth and our imagination about its likely future. The Exorcist, William Friedkin's very popular horror film about the demonic possession of a child arrived in all its gory in 1973. The first Omen movie came into being five years later.
