Children are beautiful little creatures that always convey that feeling of peace and happiness, don't they? Of course it is. The problem is when these same little creatures decide to play completely scary roles in great movie classics. There are a lot of bearded men out there who, for example, start shaking when they remember some scenes with the twins of "The Shining." We did a compilation with the scariest kids ever. Check out!

1 - The Call

Samara Morgan, played by Daveigh Chase, was one of the scariest characters of recent times and we hope you have no doubt about that.

2 - The Enlightened One

First of all, if you haven't watched this movie yet, watch it. He is simply one of the best done when it comes to suspense and terror. In terms of scary children, "The Shining" has three, inclusive. Starting with the twin sisters in the blue dress who, just because they exist and say things at the same time, already make many people scared; and of course passing Danny Lloyd: the hideous boy who spoke with his own finger in a completely strange voice.

3 - The Exorcist

Linda Blair is the demon-possessed child who needs to be exorcised - the rest of the movie you might already know. One of the most controversial, scary, and sinister feature-length feature films related to the film's production is also one that makes us most afraid of children.

4 - The Orphan

Forget that story that little children are kind beings: they are not. Especially when it comes to this bizarre movie, with a child living a cold, psycho killer, as in Esther's case. You might be afraid to go to the corner playground after watching this movie.

5 - Poltergeist

Spielberg's success enshrined little Heather O'Rourke, who was only five years old when she appeared in the first film. Her character, Carol Anne, disappeared during a bizarre phenomenon involving otherworldly beings and television squeaks. There is simply no way not to be afraid.

Do you think these kids are really scary or do you think they shouldn't be on our list? If you could add any characters, what would it be?
