Yeah and I know what you're going to say but, throughout the movie Mr Sutherland is haunted by what he perceives to be the ghost of his daughter. Therefore, I demand special dispensation. Afterall, you let The Brood slide.:)

No special dispensation. The Brood had murderous,evil children. There were no murderous, evil children in Don't Look Now.

As it's your thread, I'll concede defeat on Don't Look Now (my argument was extremely thin there), but I'm not convinced about The Brood. Were they children or spawned creatures embodying her anger? A race of rage foetuses. Is there a difference? And why didn't they make a sequal?

I guess if Cronenberg ever has another acrimonious divorce they still might!:)

Good shout with Let The Right One In. Who are the bad seeds though, the bullies or the girl? I'm going with the bullies!

I'm pretty lenient on the definition of a "bad seed" movie. I think most people felt this thread was about creepy killer kids (the origin of their homicidal or sociopathic tendencies irrelevant), and The Brood certainly had that.

Don't Look Now and West Side Story, on the other hand, didn't have any creepy killer kids (the characters in West Side Story were hardly "children")

@Bookzombie - Carrie, like West Side Story, is really pushing the "evil children" criteria.

I was just having a bit of fun, particularly with Westside Story. The 'youngsters' profess their badness through song which is contradictory on two counts. They ain't young and singing about being bad is the least bad thing you can do.

Here's a serious offering though - Pet Sematary. That little shit was seriously creepy, especially 'cause of the cold way in which he dispatches Herman Munster.

That's okay, I'm all for fun.:)

I would say both are, but in different ways. The bullies are evil, they like to hurt another person just because they can, however the little girl kills people because she have no other choice. They are both creepy in two different ways, though the little girl get my sympathies, and the bullies do not.

Is not a 16 year old technically still a child?

I second Pet Cemetery, the little zombie boy was so incredibly creepy, the only child more creepy I have seen on film was little Alia from David Lynch's Dune.

I would say a 16 y.o. is adolescent whereas under 12 is a child. Perhaps technically you're right. It's Wicker's ball, so I'll let her decide.

I have to respectfully disagree about the creepiest child in movie history. It can only be Linda Blair's Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist. Closely followed by Toshio from The Grudge.
