B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping evil children into the ol’ VCR. 

Listen, I love kids. I would love to adopt children at some point. 

The catch is, I also watch a LOT of horror movies. And, uh, horror really likes to throw some evil children into the mix. 

Be them possessed, zombies, or deranged, horror sure does love to play with the already terrifying position of parenthood. 

I’m not sure if it’s because kids can be inherently creepy because they’re tiny adults, or what, but we truly like to make children as horrifying as humanly possible. 

Also, what better way to celebrate the month of love than to talk about horror movies with unsettling children? I can’t think of one. 

Okay, I’m out of ways to describe terrifying toddlers (okay, now I’m ACTUALLY out), so let’s get to the list, shall we?

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite horror movies with creepy children: 

• Cooties 
• Little Monsters
• Run Rabbit Run 
• Village of the Damned 
• Children of the Corn 
• The Babadook
• Pet Sematary
• The Good Son
• The Omen 

Honorable Mention

I almost stuck Orphan on the main list, but given the Esther of it all, I decided it should be our honorable mention instead. I love both installments in the Orphan franchise(?), and I can’t wait to see what the third one has in store.
