What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is a certified camp classic, fueled by its impeccable fusing of dark comedy and psychological horror. But more notably, it’s become a cultural artifact with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford as the two sister rivals, mirroring their legendary real-life feud. Davis plays the titular Baby Jane, a former child star whose fame was eclipsed by Crawford’s Blanche, who thrived until becoming paraplegic in an accident. The majority of the film takes place in their mansion, growing increasingly claustrophobic as Jane goes back and forth between tormenting Blanche and attempting to revive her vaudeville act. Filled with melodrama and murder, it’s equally nauseating and delicious. – Mattea Gallaway
