Renamed The Village of the Damned, the '60 version is the most praised. The novel deals more with human morality while the film focuses on fear of outsiders. 🧒🧠🤯 #filmsky #booksky

It’s a Good Life” was reacting to the baby boom; Bad Seed & Village of the Damned were other early manifestations. Rosemary’s Baby, Omen, Who Can Kill a Child, The Children, Bloody Birthday, Exorcist, Kill Baby Kill…
