Rosemary’s Baby

Rosemary’s Baby was Ira Levin’s second published book and became the best-selling horror novel of the 1960s, selling over 4 million copies1. The novel’s immense popularity even sparked a “horror boom”, leading to significant commercial success for horror fiction.

The gripping plot revolves around Rosemary Woodhouse, a young woman who moves into the historic Bramford apartment building in New York City with her struggling actor-husband, Guy. Despite warnings about the Bramford’s disturbing history involving witchcraft and murder, they dismiss the rumors. Rosemary desires to start a family, but Guy prefers waiting until his acting career takes off.
