According to a new list on The Wrap.com, The CREEPIEST kid characters in horror movie history are . . .

1.  Damien, "The Omen" . . . "Damien is quite literally the son of Satan . . . [he] acts in mysterious ways, with much of the terror coming from the way in which people react to him."

2.  Regan, "The Exorcist" . . . "Although Linda Blair, who was only 14 at the time of filming, certainly deserves her props . . . the unsung heroes behind this character are voice actor Mercedes McCambridge and makeup artist Dick Smith."

3.  Samara, "The Ring" . . . "Pure nightmare fuel . . . with her long stringy hair, terrifying grimace, and fondness of creepy old wells."

4.  The Grady Twins, "The Shining" . . . "Maybe it’s the girls' monotone delivery . . . maybe it's the shot's creepy composition . . . either way, this is a classic horror scene for a reason."

5.  Esther, "Orphan" . . . "Personally, I find no moment more disturbing than when she hits on Peter Sarsgaard."

6.  Mercy and Jonas, "The Witch" . . . "Their playful taunting, even as older brother Caleb is at death's door, is downright chilling."

7.  Isaac, "Children of the Corn" . . . "The unofficial mayor leading the miniature citizens in ritualistic slayings of adults . . . is scarily charismatic in an overzealous, King Joffery-esque way."

8.  Adrian, "Rosemary's Baby" . . . "We never see the Rosemary's baby, which makes the hold the devil's spawn has on both its mother and viewers all the more impressive."

9.  Rhoda, "The Bad Seed" . . . "An 8-year-old serial killer who hides her rage with a facade of pigtail precociousness."

10.  Charlie, "Hereditary" . . . "The troubled teen trope with a sense of otherworldly dread . . . thousand-yard stares and periodic tongue-clicking."
