"Tannis, anyone?"

Prepare to get your Ghoul on this Halloween, with a real treat – our distinguished pals at The Criterion Collection have got a live one for us this October – at long last the release of Rosemary’s Baby on Blu-ray! Not only is it one of Roman Polanski’s greatest films, but it’s easily one of the best horror films of all time – darkly comic, it captures the New York of the 1960s like few films ever did – the performances are tremendous. If you haven’t met Minnie and Roman Castavet yet (and Laura-Louise!), do I envy you! It’s just one great scene after another. Criterion typically does a world class job and have prepared a new director-approved high-definition restoration. Vintage material will be included, as well as new interviews with Polanski, Mia Farrow and Robert Evans. I’m a huge Ira Levin fan, on whose novel the film is based – he gave us chilling fantasies including The Stepford Wives and The Boys from Brazil, as well as the play Deathtrap. But trust me – it doesn’t get any better than Rosemary’s Baby. The disc hits on October 30^th, the day before you-know-when!
