Greetings! As you know I'm obsessed with horror and today I decided to make a list of one of the best devices in horror, spooky kids! The problem I find is that instead of finding them creepy, I just think their so damn adorable. Here is my top 10 list of spooky but cute horror movie kids!
10. Regan McNeil, The Exorcist
I can always tell when a film has disturbed my Mum because she talks about it like some tragic event that actually happened 'why do you like the Exorcist, that poor little girl!' LOL. Well yeah technically she's not cute but any kid that says 'Your Mother sucks cocks in hell!' deserves a place on my list! (or they just live in the estate round the corner.) Regan is HARDCORE projectile puking over priests, fucking herself with a crucifix and before she was even possessed she went around playing with Ouija boards. Shit man, if we were friends, such sick times.
9. Grady Twins, The Shining
"Come play with us Danny!" murdered by their crazy Father and a hatchet there's no denying these girls are CREEPY. Their soft little voices get those hairs on the back of your neck creeping up and make your heart strings tug a little bit. If you ask me Danny missed out on a big oppurtunity there, playing with 2 ghost twins in a haunted hotel!? Fuck yeah! (maybe not forever though and to be fair that tricycle also looked pretty jokes to play on)
8. Mitsuko, Dark Water
I do enjoy a lonely ghost, especially when its a spooky little girl looking for her Mummy. Although she's been dead a long time, probably reeks of decay and kind of resembles a wet turd with a face carved into it she's still pretty cute! Mitsuko is one of those do I feel sorry for her or not ghosties, fair shes a bit of a dick for stealing that girls Mum but all she ever wanted was that red bunny bag and who can blame her it was sick!
7. Danny Glick, Salem's Lot
Vampire education #1; this right here twilight lovers is a REAL vampire. Little Danny Glick did such a great job at his newfound undeadness that he managed to infect pretty much the entire village! Even fooling his own brother Ralphie by tap-tapping and floating about by his window, I guess people think Ralphie is a dumbass to let his dead bro in his room but with Danny's deathly pallour and evil grin how could you not let this cute little vampire kid in to play?
6. Allessa Gillespie, Silent Hill
With a deathly vengence on all those stupid religious folk that burnt her to death (who can blame her really?) this kids imagination is something else. Managing to transform an entire ghost town into her 'darkest dream', well done Allessa, you created something truly beautifal but terrifying. I especially enjoyed her total bloodlust and how she showered herself in the vaginal blood spray of a dying dismembered Christabella. Damn this movie was pretty fucked up!
5. Gage Creed, Pet Sematary
This kid is such a cutie, but after being hit by a truck, getting buried and then reanimating to terrorise his family with a scalpel it just makes you go 'N'aww!' I especially enjoy Jud's murder, you just can't beat a ressurected evil corpse child giving an old man a Chelsea smile.
4. Children of the Damned, Village of the Damned/Children of the Damned
Not all immaculate coneceptions involve Jesus and christmas prezzies, in fact these kids stood for quite the opposite. Emotionless, telepathic, the children can control people to kill themselves and each other through their spooky glowy white eyes. They've also got style, not only do they always look sharp, in the sequel they decide to use an abandoned church as their headquarters!
3. Karen Cooper, Night of the Living Dead.
The classic 'spooky kid'. Let's face it, everyone LOVES a zombie and Karen was one of the originals. When she arose from death in that famous basement to eat her Father's flesh it was just pure horror movie gold. And of course you've got to give her credit for her creativity, a trowel as a deadly weapon? Nice one Karen you were one clever zombie!
2. Toshio, The Grudge
This little dude is the cat's miaow! (couldnt resist that one) Although most peoples reaction to him is 'ARGH!' mine is a heartfelt 'AW!' I love his moody little face, his sunken in eyes and he's wearing enough eye shadow to outdo a 12 year old Claires accesories punk. Always following around that mysterious black cat, although they both met an untimely end him and his Mum make a very proffesional haunting team and I'm sure they had a sick time scaring the shit out of anyone that enters that amazing house (I want it).
1. Thomás, The Orphanage
There are 2 types of horror kid, the pure evil ones and the ones that just want a friend! This little boy made my heart melt the first time I saw the Orphanage running around playing hide and seek with the owners of the house. I think its that little mask, kinda makes him look related to the sack dude out of the strangers. Definately not one of the best horror movies, but is he possibly the cutest ghost kid ever?
Peace and spooky fun!
