Kitty's Corner

Once upon a time it was quite popular to include children in horror movies. I expect it's because it intensifies the horror, seeing someone who looks all pure and innocent act like the devil himself.

Here's a few kids who acted in horror movies. I thought it would be fun to see what they looked like then, and what they look like now.

First we have Drew Barrymore. She was in the Stephen King film "Firestarter" in 1984 when she was only 9 years old. This is how she looked then and how she looks now.



Next one in line is Linda Blair. She was playing the possessed child Regan MacNeil in "The Exorcist" in 1973.



Here's Alex Vincent. He played Andy, the owner of the horrible doll Chucky in Child's play 1 and 2, in 1988 and in 1990.



Danny Lloyd played Danny in "The Shining" in 1980. The Shining also brilliantly starred Jack Nicholson as the dad, who gets more and more insane as the film progresses. Some will might remember the quote "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Well, that quote comes from this movie.

Here's Danny then and now:



The Shining also starred a couple of other kids, namely Lisa and Louise Burns. They played the Grady twins, the ones that wanted Danny to come play with them "for ever and ever and ever"...



Last one in line is Miko Hughes, who played the adorable little child Cage in another Stephen King movie, namely Pet Sematary in 1989.
