Children in horror movies
 

Which horror movies have girls in them? Ever since those Poltergeists I've thought little girls and horror movies are a perfect match. Not just one small appearance like Jodelle Ferland in They, and not necessarily the lead role either, but a fair amount of screen time throughout the movie. Any movies. New, old, from any country, as long as it's currently available on region 1 DVD. I know a lot of them of course, but certainly not all.

Murder-Set-Pieces
The Exorcist

Frankenstein

The Exorcist.

Night of the Living Dead

Milo

Let me think of some more...

Children of the Damned

Village of the Damned

Children of the Corn

The Ring

The Shining

Alice Sweet Alice (Communion) (This is a really good movie)

Was that movie in 2005 or 2006 that Tom Cruise had with Dakota Fanning kinda horror/suspenseful? I can't recall the name, but she's a female and was in one of sorts.

Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

Flowers in the Attic

No.

Halloween 4

Halloween 5

Aliens

Firestarter

Two of my favorites:

Ghosthouse

The Bad Seed
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048977/

The Bad Seed (remake)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088766/

This movie made me love Jodie Foster

And yes, Alice Sweet Alice IS a great movie...But, the book is even better :)

The Last Mimsy

Silent hill

Dark Water

Wicked Little Things

Thanks to everyone who has answered so far! A few of those I hadn't even heard of, and a lot I haven't seen yet.
Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning? That was War of the Worlds. I guess most people have heard of it.

Frankenstein? I never would have known, although I'm not really familiar with that story.
Which version do you have in mind, or do you mean all of them? It looks like there are about three or four Frankenstein movies.

GREAT movie! I Love that one!!!!


and the Frankenstein with the little girl is the original James Whale directed 1931 version

I'd forgotten about The Bad Seed, but now that you mention it I remember seeing the one from 1956 at some point.:)

1931...it's been a long time since I've seen a movie from that long ago. I hope some place around here has it.:)

To be truthful, I stretched a bit on a few. The girl in Frankenstein is only in one scene. The rest the girl is a major character though.

Thanks for letting me know, although I might watch it anyway. My interest in horror films goes well beyond little girls; that's just one angle I really like, but not always. Watching Tideland nearly made me fall asleep.:eek: I'm still not sure what to think of it. I always rent movies first anyway, to make sure I don't end up spending money on a bad movie that I'll only watch once.:)

Almost the exact same title, 15 pages back. http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34365
