The Curse of the Moon Child is a 1972 American[4] horror film starring Adam West, Sherry Jackson, and Jeremy Slate.[3] Its plot focuses on a Victorian-era English village whose children born under the astrological sign of Cancer are compelled to join a demonic union.[5]
Little is known about the film's production or availability, and it was described by writers Harvey Fenton and David Flint in Ten Years of Terror: British Horror Films of the 1970s (2001) as "an obscure film [that] has former Batman Adam West battling a Satanic cult who specialise in human sacrifice."[4] The film was shot in 16mm around 1972.
The Waterloo Courier lists the film as having aired on television on October 21, 1977.[2] It screened on late-night television the following week in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on October 28, 1977.[6]
