I try to go back and watch movies that are considered "classic". Tonight, on HBO, is Rosemary's Baby. I saw it about three years ago. It's crazily creepy.
And then I learned this trivia: The movie was directed by Roman Polanski who at the time was married to Sharon Tate. Tate would be murdered one year later by Charles Manson's followers. Stay with me here: The Manson clan called their death spree "Helter Skelter" after the 1968 song by The Beatles. Beatles front man John Lennon would later live in, and be killed in front of, his apartment building called The Dakota - where Rosemary's Baby was filmed.

wow...interesting. I remember when Rosemary's Baby came out. I was in high school and my mom wouldn't allow me to go, cuz it was too "racy". She let me read the book "helter skelter", though, about the brutal Manson murders. Funny how that works, huh?
Ergo, Mark David Chapman was a member of the Manson clan. By strange coincidence, he was living in Hawaii shortly before Lennon's murder and everybody knows that Hawaii is the place where... oh never mind.
Super creepy. 'Rosemary's Baby' scared the crap out of me when I was a kid....sneaking late night TV at my grandmother's house....
