The Devil Within Her (also known as Sharon's Baby, I Don't Want to Be Born, The Child, It Lives Within Her) is a 1975 horror film starring Joan Collins, Donald Pleasence, and Caroline Munro.Joan Collins plays Lucy, a former dancer who used to work at a seedy nightclub where she was in an act with a frolicking male dwarf named Hercules (George Claydon). Lucy used to flirt with Hercules — harmlessly, she thought, but he took her seriously and made a pass at her one night, which she sternly rejected. Humiliated and angry, Hercules then leaps out in front of her and declaring, "You will have a baby, a monster, an evil monster conceived in your womb, as big as I am small, and possessed by the devil himself!"Lucy thought nothing of it at the time, but after months pass and Lucy leaves the dancer business behind, she gets married and does give birth to an abnormally large child. As soon as he is born, the little tyke is raking his fingernails down Lucy's face, and before long he's wrecking his playroom, ripping the heads off his dolls, spitting at people, and dropping dead mice into teacups. Things get worse as people around the baby are murdered.Lucy's sister-in-law, a Catholic nun, suspects that the baby is possessed by a demon. Turns out, she's right. | |

Nuns Are Spooky: Lucy's sister-in-law is a nun, and she's in a horror movie, but other than she's one of the good characters. | |

Demonic Possession | |
| The Devil Within Her / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: The baby Nicholas. It may or may not be "the devil himself", but it's definitely a demon, and it appears to be linked to Hercules's life, as exorcising it kills him. | |

The Mockbuster | |
| The Devil Within Her / int_b151c937 | comment |
The Mockbuster: Often compared to Rosemary's Baby (One of the original titles was Sharon's Baby), The Exorcist, and The Omen (1976). all of which had very similar plots, although in the latter case, The Devil Within Her predates it by a year. | |

Depraved Dwarf: Hercules is first introduced trying to grope Lucy while in her dressing room while they are both working at a burlesque house. That's not even getting into placing a curse on an innocent child to punish its mother for not sleeping with him. | |

Gypsy Curse: While a dwarf, not a gypsy, Hercules' curse to Lucy is essentially this and treated as such. | |

| The Devil Within Her / int_ee519430 | comment |
Hollywood Exorcism: Lucy's sister-in-law performs one at the film's climax. It has the side-effect of killing Hercules, presumably through sympathetic magic - as the demon goes, so he goes. | |
