 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In this 1974 horror film written, produced, and directed by Larry Cohen, diaper rash... turns into diaper rage.Los Angeles PR executive Frank Davis (John P. Ryan) and his wife Lenore (Sharon Farrell) are overjoyed at the imminent arrival of their second child. Unfortunately, their baby... comes out a little odd. And it turns out to have a nasty habit of killing when it's scared. Which is pretty much all the time.Followed by two sequels, It Lives Again (1978) and It's Alive 3: Island of the Alive (1987), as well as a very poorly-regarded 2008 remake.Not to be confused with the show about fermentation on Bon Appétit.

 All There in the Manual: The novelization provides background as to why the baby turned out so screwed up (Lenore had been using experimental fertility drugs shortly after she stopped taking birth control pills).

 Broken Aesop: The killer babies aren't to blame for their condition, but the theme of innocence must be protected loses its meaning when you consider that the babies are still extremely dangerous and unpredictable on the same level as a rabid or otherwise dangerous dog which have to be put down for the good and safety of everyone around them.

 The Atoner: Frank reappears in the sequel trying to atone for his actions in the first film by helping other parents of mutant children, though unfortunately this results in a Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome about halfway through.

 Bizarre Baby Boom: At the end of the film, Frank learns that another mutant has been born in Seattle. The sequel, It Lives Again, picks up this plot thread, as the corporation that produces the fertility drug tries to cover up the resulting mutant baby boom.
