20 Horror Movie Characters We NEVER See

Despite Roman Polanski's incredible 1968 horror film Rosemary's Baby being centered entirely around the impending spawn of Rosemary (Mia Farrow), we never actually get to see the baby once they're born.

In the movie's unforgettably bleak ending, Rosemary discovers that her child has been kidnapped by a demonic coven, and more to the point, the father of her child isn't her husband Guy (John Cassavetes) but rather Satan himself.

Rosemary is left terrified at her son's eyes, yet we as the audience never see this for ourselves - we're only left to watch in horror as she reluctantly mothers her son, the apparent Antichrist.

It goes without saying that nothing a movie can show will ever quite live up to what we can conjure in our own minds - for more than 50 years, viewers have pondered what Rosemary's son actually looked like, and Rosemary's distraught reaction really says it all.

Plus, there's the obvious practical concern of giving a young baby demonic eyes - you probably wouldn't be able to fit a baby with contact lenses, and in 1968 optical effects were a risky bet for something like this.

All things considered, not showing the baby was definitely the right way to go.
