Top 10 most disturbing children in horror films – You need to see #2 (With Pictures)

2. Regan, The Exorcist

It’s the classic horror film that is still the standard-bearer for all possession movies, and one that has yet to be topped. The Exorcist, from William Friedkin, remains terrifying to this day, and at the center of it is a most troubling performance by Linda Blair as the young Regan. We watch her startling, disturbing transformation from innocent girl to the devil in human fresh in one creepy, unforgettable scene after another. SEE ALSO: Top 10 animated films of all time

From her spider walk down the stairs to urinating on the floor at a dinner party, from her head spinning around in bed to all the curse words she yells, the child in The Exorcist is the scariest imaginable, setting a template for all to follow.
