About this movie

A couple expecting a baby discover it's a monster that kills when it's scared. Terror, like all good things, begins at home. Set to a chilling Bernard Herrmann ("Psycho") score, this eerie and shocking tale of an inhuman newborn who wreaks havoc upon the city of Los Angeles was a surprise boxoffice hit, following in the tradition of "The Exorcist." Along with its two sequels, this cult favorite was written, directed and produced by Larry Cohen.

Scared me as a teenager when I saw it at the drive-in with a car full of screaming kids. Campy as hell but still pretty scary. They just don't make them like this anymore!

The best scene was when the mutated baby had it in for the milk man.
