Just read in the paper. Levin wrote the novels ROSEMARY'S BABY, KISS BEFORE DYING and the Broadway play DEATHTRAP.

As a little tribute, here, I thought I'd post my favorite anagram that I got from Levin's book SON OF ROSEMARY. The puzzle isn't solved within the book itself. I'm not sure how I eventually figured it out, but I'm sure I cheated. It follows:

"ROAST MULES"

Those two words are an anagram for a single word in the English language. Some people take forever to figure it out, but for others, it's child's play.

D.

Got it.

Cheaters like me just use an Internet anagram solver. :D

RIP, Mr. Levin.

I loved Rosemary's Baby. Sliver was good too, eventhough the Sharon Stone movie was terrible.

I hated Son of Rosemary. I hated it so much it almost ruined Rosemary's Baby for me, but not quite.

I have had The Boys From Brazil on my shelf for a while but still haven't read it. Maybe now is the time to do so in his memory.

Thanks for the advice! Anyone who thinks I'd bend over backwards to solve that has positively flipped!

Rosemary's Baby is one of my all-time favorite films, horror or otherwise. It was a surprise to read the Levin novel and find just how exactingly close the movie was, right down to Rosemary's dreams and her view of Mrs Castavet through the peephole. Very amusing to later read how Polanski was afraid he'd get fired if he wrote the screenplay any other way!

Thanks for the scares, Ira. See ya.

It took me three days. It was a TERRIBLE book, by the way, unlike his other terrific and exciting novels and plays. Hail and farewell, Mr. Levin!
