yes she was. i'm watching "all about eve" right now.... anne baxter is very "slap-worthy" in this one...

Blockbuster does carry it however. This is one of my hands down favorite films. There's a lot of dark humor in it. I recently saw 'Living Hell', a Japanese film (taglined 'The Japan Chainsaw Massacre') which borrowed heavily from 'Baby Jane' in many ways. There's no monsters or tons of blood and gore, but the film is way chilling. I just wish I took better care in labeling my videos so I could find out which tape I have it on LOL. Pick it up off eBay for the price of a rental if you have to. It's well worth it.

BTW Davis and Crawford actually hated each other in real life and working together on this film didn't seem to help matters much.

Davis is a real bitch and the automobiles are wonderful.

I didn't notice whether anyone mentioned there is the original version--Davis and Crawford--and a remake with the Redgraves--also good but more contemporary.

I almost completely forgot about that made-for-tv remake! Of course I watched it at the time. I thought it was a very pale comparison to the original at best. The original is untouchable as far as I'm concerned.

I just watched this a few days ago. I found it nerve-wracking. I'd probably consider it more of a suspense film then a horror technically, but it is definitely creepy! 100% worth renting.

Your Blockbuster may carry it, but not ALL Blockbuster Stores carry it. You can rent it through them online if you have that option. Like I said before, I found it through the library.

If it doesn't get rented, Blockbuster'll throw it out, and lets face it, there's a lack of interest in the classics nowadays.

Very true. I'm in Chicago and it seems like there's a Blockbuster on every block (right next to the Starbuck's). I'm sure Netflix has it. They have a lot of good stuff on thee I've noticed.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
 

How is this movie?

It's a classic! I don't think anything is going to jump out and scare you too badly, :) but is a great old twisted movie. Hope you enjoy it!

It is twisted yeah.
