It takes something cheap. Something camp. Something short, something laughibly "spooky"...
Something Rosemary....
"The Devil Within Her
" with Joan Collins is yet another movie burned in my consciousness because back in the nineteen hundred and eighties, and without cable, a horror kid could only rely on syndicated network channels for his scary movies.

The imdb summary:
A woman gives birth to a baby, but this is no ordinary little tyke. The child is seemingly possessed by the spirit of a freak dwarf who the mother once spurned. Cue a spate of strange deaths, the one common factor being the presence of a baby in pram at the scene...
Mind you, I watched this in the 80's, in the era where Joan Collins's shoulder pads were the epitome of evil, and supernatural notions of the devil, evil and hell paled before her greedy uberbitchiness. So the notion of her squeezing out the antichrist is a bit laughable with adult filters.
There are hilarious dwarf/baby carnage scenes. This is a saving grace. The 70's lounge sex scene? Maybe not....
There's also Donald Pleasance, and as I said in my comments for "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", I think Michael Myers is a preferable alternative.
It also has a nun, which ChillerPop, a fan of nunsploitation, deeply approves of.
And that's all I have to say about 1975's "The Devil Within Her".
