"Oh, Rhoda, no!" The Bad Seed on TCM tonight (Thurs., Dec. 10)

Please, everyone who’s participated in this thread, listen to this song. Please. “Oh, I’ve got the prettiest mother . . . he tried to pull himself back up on the wharf!

Whoo-whoo! I just found my Mama’s Christmas present!

(Mama’s a big Bad Seed fan.)

Did she send you to the Fern School?

No, but after I won a spelling bee medal she hired this creepy babysitter named Rhoda…

I first saw this movie when I was in elementary school. It was Halloween, and my sister and I hosted a “trick-or-treat” slumber party. My mom rented The Bad Seed for us to watch while we od’d on candy. It was awesome.

Saw it again, years later (now years ago) and it was still awesome!

You have a fantastic (and slightly creepy) Mom, to think of that!

I just had a long conversation with a co-worker and realized my Mom had me and my brother watching The Bad Seed, Mommy Dearest, It’s Alive! and The Exorcist from the time we were 5 to 12 years old.
