Line 274:
* Another straight example is the British 2008 horror movie named ''The Children''.
* Alessa in the 2006 ''[[Silent Hill (film)|Silent Hill]]'' movie is ''very'' creepy. Given [[Break the Cutie|what Alessa had been through]] [[Moral Event Horizon|thanks to]] [[Complete Monster|that bitch Christabella]], it's no surprise that she's a little... strange, to put it mildly.
** I mean, just [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081108171319/silent/images/2/21/Alessaburning.gif look at her!]{{Dead link}} She's burnnniiingggg.
* Toshio the ghost toddler boy in ''[[Ju-On]]''.
* In ''The Paperboy'' Johnny McFarley is one of these. We find out he hated his mother, and killed her. He feels bad about it, so he kills an old lady and lures her daughter to her house so she can be his new mother. He becomes very obsessed with her and her daughter Cammie, going as far as spying on them and placing a walkie-talkie inside their wall so he can listen to her conversations.
Line 399:
* Anthony Fremont from ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' episode "[[It's a Good Life]]" is literally omnipotent. He's no more evil than any other three-year-old who's never been told "No" in his life, but his ignorance, capriciousness, and lack of empathy holds Peakville, Ohio in complete terror.
** The sequel in the 2000 remake features Anthony's daughter, who is able to bring back everything her father "sent away".
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' is in love with the Creepy Child. The very first episode has a creepy brother and sister, "The Benders" has a thirteen year old cannibal named Missy, "Playthings" has a creepy girl ghost manipulating the daughter of the owner of an inn, "All Hell Breaks Loose Part 1" has an Acheri demon appear as a [
** Though it's played straight then that same child returns several years later in "Season's Beatings" and that time he really IS the anti-christ.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the season five episode "The Real Ghostbusters: "Oh look, more creepy children brought to you by Supernatural."
Line 470:
* In the French game ''[[In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas]]'' ([[In Nomine|the English version]] isn't a straight adaptation, more a remake) children of a demon and a human can be either normal kids, demons, or official creepy children. I love the illustration on that chapter in the rulebook.
* Voice of Demnogonis in ''[[Mutant Chronicles]]''. Looks like a child, but in fact is a [[Mind Rape|Mind-Raping]] [[Complete Monster]] who feeds on [[Life Energy]].
* The predilections of the Deathlord known as the Dowager in ''[[Exalted]]''...well...we'll let [https://web.archive.org/web/20121018144539/http://wiki.white-wolf.com/exalted/index.php?title=Things_one_is_not_allowed_to_do_in_Exalted Things One Is Not Allowed To Do In Exalted] spell it out.
{{quote|Not all Abyssals are creepy little girls.
1. Except when the focus of the game is on the Dowager, that is.
Line 503:
* ''[[Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne]]'' has the hero routinely followed by a silent young boy and his apparent nanny. The boy stands silent with his creepy pallid skin, piercing gaze, and blonde locks, while his caregiver speaks for him. Of course, {{spoiler|that ain't no child, but a powerful fallen angel trying to groom the hero to be a Messiah for all demonkind to lead them in their battle against God.}} Nothing too complicated, really.
* ''[[Clock Tower (series)|Clock Tower]]: The First Fear'' has Bobby, a ten year old with giant scissors who chases the main character around trying to kill her. His face is grey and badly deformed. And there's also his giant, purple, severely deformed brother Dan.
* "Princess" Agitha from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'' is a girl aged about 10, who lives alone in a "castle" that is more like a giant terrarium, dresses like a [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]], and is obsessed with bugs. She tasks Link with catching golden bugs so she can put on a Bug Ball, and while she is very sweet and polite about it all, she expresses wishes concerning said bugs that range from the perfectly innocent ("I want to tie ribbons on your antennae!") to the [[Squick|utterly squicky]] ("I want to bathe in your slime!"). All this combined with the [[Parental Abandonment|lack of any parental figures]] has led to [http://-coldfusion-.deviantart.com/art/Ageha-s-Riches-62748020 some speculation]{{Dead link}} about their fate.
** The fact that she lives alone may actually imply that she's [[Older Than They Look|older than she looks]]. Of course, this makes her even creepier.
*** To make this even creepier, if you try and leave without selling any bugs to her, on your way out she says, "I know you have bugs..."
Line 612:
* ''[[Memoria (2010 webcomic)|Memoria]]'': "Harriet, I've never been [http://memoria.valice.net/?p=321 afraid of a little girl before]."
* In ''[[Underling]]'', [http://underlingcomic.com/page-one-hundred-eighty-three/ Lazarus, despite his horns and the company he has kept thus far, meets up with a truly creepy girl.]
* In ''[[Sinfest]]'', [
Line 692:
* [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] was often considered one. He was unusually small, thin, deathly pale, and behaved in a very serious and adult manner, intimidating many adults.
* Josh Peck started off as the complete opposite of this, but now he looks somewhat similar to this.
* [http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0eUS9EI49a5uU/340x.jpg Seamus]{{Dead link}}-[http://thyferalside.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/01b_damien.jpg Davey]- [https://web.archive.org/web/20070507151313/http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/06/02/images/2006060201261901.jpg Fitzpatrick], the kid who played [[The Antichrist]] in the new version of ''[[The Omen]]''.
* Mary Bell, an eleven-year-old serial killer. Now [[wikipedia:Mary Bell|she has a daughter of her own, who is apparently normal]].
** Also [[wikipedia:Murder of James Bulger|Jon Venables and Robert Thompson]].
* Nevada-tan, a.k.a. "Girl A", a Japanese schoolgirl who murdered a classmate with a boxcutter. Her nickname comes from the famous photo of her wearing a University of Nevada hoodie. She inspired a surprising amount of fanart and a song called "Boxcutter, Baby".
* [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0e/Farina-cereal.jpeg This kid.]{{Dead link}} Admittedly, a very appropriate mascot given the product. [shudder] Smile with your mouth closed, kid.
* Actor Whit Hertford was very creepy looking as a child (and hasn't changed with age). He could have easily played ''Mikey'' the title character of one of the films he was in, but they chose Brian Bonsall because he was more innocent looking.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20111117191807/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/Heinrich_Himmler_and_Gudrun_Burwitz.jpg Gudrun Himmler-Burwitz], [[Those Wacky Nazis|Heinrich Himmler's daughter]]. She seems like a happy child visiting her dad; thing is they're doing an inspection of [[Moral Event Horizon|Dachau]]. She still runs [[Putting on the Reich|neo-nazi organizations]] and has a network dedicated to helping former [[Complete Monster|SS Officers]]
* Children with [[wikipedia:Callous and unemotional traits|Callous-Unemotional traits]], which is basically code for "psychopathic kids". Most of them show up as badly behaved troublemakers, but unlike most troublemaking kids, these kids [[Lack of Empathy|never feel guilty]] and shrug off punishment as no big deal. And every so often they might get the idea to do something ''really'' horrifying. Plus, at younger ages they haven't figured out the charming act yet, which may ironically make them come across as more creepy than an older psychopath.
