Confronting Dark Family Secrets and Rituals
Rosemary Woodhouse Do you know who Roman really is?... He's Adrian Marcato's son...Roman Castevet is Steven Marcato rearranged... There he is when he was thirteen. See the eyes?... In the same house, and look, look here. Soon after that, in August 1886, his son Steven was born. 1886 - got it? That makes him seventy-nine now. No coincidence... His father was a martyr to it. The parties with the singing and the flute, and the chanting. Those are S'baths or sabbaths, whatever they're called... They use blood in their rituals and the blood that has the most power is baby's blood. And they don't just use the blood, they use the flesh too... They're not setting foot in this apartment ever again and they're not coming within fifty feet of the baby... We're gonna sub-let and move out.

The Expectation of Cinematic Fade-Outs
Tom Baxter Where's the fade-out?
[pauses after kissing Cecilia]
Cecilia What?
Tom Baxter Always when the kissing gets hot and heavy just before the lovemaking, there's a fadeout.
Cecilia Then what?
Tom Baxter Then we're making love in some private, perfect place.
Cecilia That's not how it happens here.
Tom Baxter What, there's no fade out?
Cecilia No, but when you kissed me, I felt like my heart faded out. I closed my eyes, and I was in some private place.

Conspiracy Theories and Maternal Fear
Rosemary Woodhouse You can hear them singing through the wall... Guy said it was Dr. Shand, one of these people playing a recorder. Now, how did he know it was Dr. Shand unless he was there with them. They're very clever people. They planned everything right from the beginning. They probably made some sort of deal with Guy. They gave him success and he promised them our baby to use in their rituals. I know this sounds crazy, but I've got books here. Look. There was another actor like him, Donald Baumgart and they put a spell on him. They cast a spell on him and made him blind so that Guy could get his part. Look, here. I had this friend, Edward Hutchins. Maybe you heard of him, a writer. He wrote stories for boys. Anyway, he was my good friend since I first came to New York... Anyway, once Mr. Hutchins came to visit me...It was the time I was having this pain, Doctor. I was suffering severe - you can't imagine how much I was suffering. And they wouldn't help me, nobody would. They were giving me a drink with tannis-root in it, also witches stuff, tannis-root. Hutch came and he immediately saw something was wrong. He knew about witches, you see. Suddenly, Guy rushed home with his make-up still on, which he never did. They probably called him to come home and steal one of Hutch's belongings - which he did. Took his glove. And they put a spell on him too. Put him in a coma. Three months later, he died. Now, maybe all of this is coincidence, but one thing is for sure, they have a coven and they want my baby.
[to Dr. Hill; She shows Dr. Hill the Witchcraft book excerpt]

Questioning Trust in Medical Guidance
Rosemary Woodhouse Dr. Sapirstein is either lying or he's, I don't know, out of his mind. Pain like this is a warning something's wrong...And I'm not drinking Minnie's drink anymore.
