It’s true, children should not watch horror films, but who says they can’t be cast in them as demon-ridden offsprings from hell? These little boys and girls will make any adult fear for their life!
Here are some great horror movies where the child actors are scarier than any monster you’ve ever seen.
1. The Exorcist (1973)
A sweet, loving girl Regan, suddenly turns into an intolerable creature, spreading chaos, destruction, and gallons of vomit. Turning to doctors does not help much, and the only thing left is to rely on God and his representatives — fathers Damien and Lancaster. What’s so scary about Regan? Oh, I don’t know, maybe the fact that she starts swearing like a sailor, projectile-vomits on the priest’s face, and spins her head 360 degrees like it’s nothing? Try all of the above and add spider-like stair climbing and straight-up levitation.
2. The Omen (1976)
Damien Thorne is not just a regular child. He is the literal son of Satan — the Antichrist. The boy with a charming face and a creepy smile, who was adopted by a US diplomat in Rome, turned out to be a devil in disguise. The numerous accidents and suicides surrounding the Thorn house were piling up, so the parents finally realized what had happened and who was to blame. But can a child be the cause of such madness?
3. The Shining (1980)
Many movies feature twins, but none of them are more frightening than the Grady sisters who meet the Torrance family at the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Since 1980, light blue dresses with frills and curly blond hair have become synonymous with evil ghosts. The girls have only one scene, but it is one of the most chill-inducing parts of an already amazing horror movie.
