Yeah, children in horror movies can be quite effective. I guess because we see well some of them as being sweet and innocent. However we seem to get really grabbed when we see the look of hatred or posession in a childs eyes in these movies. Check out "Zombies"- a posse of udead children run through the woods at night, slaughtering people and animals. Some others Village Of The Dammed, The Omen, and The Wicker man (originals and the re-makes) and lets not forget The Exorcist. I often wonder what the psychological effects must be for these child actors, being confronted with such serious subject matter. One can only imagine that there is a over zealous mother driving their child to be the next big thing in horror after the commercials. You would think that the child has demonstrated maturity beyond their years to even be considered for such parts
