Rosemary's Baby is a 1968 film about a pregnant woman who fears her husband has signed a pact with a Satan worshipping cult, offering the unborn child as a sacrifice in their rituals. The film was written and directed by Roman Polanski.

In 1969 Polanski was working in London while his pregnant wife Sharon Tate was at their home in Los Angeles. On the 8th of August 1969, Sharon Tate, her unborn baby and several others were viciously murdered at the Polanski home.

After months with no explanation, it was eventually revealed that the murders were committed by members of the Manson Family under the instruction of Charles Manson.
