Children should not watch horror films, but no one said anything about starring in them. For some reason, kids in spooky movies always look and act much creepier than some random alien monster. This is probably because we see those innocent little rascals every day, and in our minds, the worst thing they can do is pet a cat the wrong way.
So here are some of the creepiest kids in horror flicks.
1. Christina Ricci – The Addams Family, 1991
Christina Ricci gained immense popularity in the early 90s for her portrayal of the dark and gloomy goth icon Wednesday Addams. Despite not having any formal acting education, Christina’s film career has been highly successful. And in 2022, she starred in the hit Netflix series “Wednesday,” although not as the main character.
2. Junio Valverde – The Devil’s Backbone, 2001
Junio Valverde played the ghost of the boy Santi, who died a few years before the events of the movie. The young actor’s track record includes roles in feature films, short films, and various TV series.
3. Lindsay Hawn – Village of the Damned, 1995
Despite the lack of commercial success, “Village of the Damned” is considered one of the best horror movies about psycho children, largely due to Lindsay Hawn’s portrayal of the kids’ leader, Mara. Lindsay is still active in the film industry as an actress and composer.
4. Jodelle Ferland – Silent Hill, 2006
Jodelle is a famous horror actress who played Sharon and Alessa in “Silent Hill” and starred in “Case #39” back in 2009. She’s been part of the “Dark Matter” sci-fi series from 2015 to 2017. Her most recent role was in 2022 “The Office Games.”
