6. The Children, Children of the Corn
This may be sort of a cop-out, but pretty much every child in Children of the Corn is creepy. That’s because they are all part of a crazy religious cult that kills everyone over the age of 18, and sacrifices all their brothers and sisters on their 19th birthday. Cults in film for the most part are disturbing enough, but when they are made up of children, and when those children are given knives and weapons and shed the blood of those around them with such ease, it’s all the more scary. If we have to choose one, though, it’s definitely the red-headed step child that’s most especially unnerving.
