How about ISLAND OF THE DAMNED, a 1975 Spanish chiller (similar but much
better than the later CHILDREN OF THE CORN) in which a couple arrive on
an isolated island for a vacation and slowly discover that virtually the
entire adult population has been killed off by the island's children.
As I remember it, the pregnant wife dies at the end when the baby in her
stomach turns against her. Weird.

There was one that came out in the late '70s or early '80s called "The
Children", about a busload of schoolchildren who pass through a radiation
cloud & are turned into killers. Wasn't very good, but it fits your bill.

Alice, Sweet Alice (a horror classic-highly recommended) and Bloody
Birthday (a guilty pleasure) come to mind.

How about "The House That Dripped Blood". It's an Amicus anthology film
from the late sixties (I think all the stories were based on Robert
Bloch's work). One of the stories stars Christopher Lee as the father of
an angelic looking little blonde girl of whom he is absolutely terrified -
and with good reason. It's interesting, though, because you never really
know if she's inherently evil, or just behaves that way because her father
expects her to.

LORD OF THE FLIES always struck me as "evil," though I understand
evilness wasn't what the film was about.

The Good Son, with Macauly Culkin and Elijah Wood. not the greatest
film in the world but the ending is pretty wicked.

One of my favorite things is a movie that turns out to be about
an evil child, but I don't know that in advance. So it is a
surprise. This has happened to me (I think) three times so far.
Mentioning names here might spoil the surprise for some readers.
So some of them are mentioned below. (Quit reading now to avoid
spoilers...)

You might like Mickey about a killer 8 year old or something. The poster
reads "Jason and Freddy were kids once." That should give you an idea what
the movie is about. Basicly, it's about the little boy from family ties who
kills like everybody and none of the adults have the brains to just rush him
and kick his ass.

Now this sounds like my kind of movie! Where did you see it? Is
it available on tape?

I remember seeing a film years ago on late night TV called "The
Children", about some toxic gas leak in a small town caused by a truck
crash, and kids breathe in the fumes and start biting everyone... There's
also a anthology called "Death House" (I think), and one of the stories
was about some grumpy old bitch who is harassed by these kids with really
bad mutant teeth who are hiding upstairs in her house.

"Village of the Damned" actually had a sequel, or so I have heard it
to be a sequel, called "Children of the Damned". It was a b/w film
made around the early 70s (??). I found the info when looking up
"Village of the Damned" in the 1992 "Movie Hound - Golden Retriever"
video guide thing. Very odd, with one evil mass of glowy-eyed
children. Taped it off cheesy late night cable about 5 years ago.

Uh...I said Village (the new one, my all-time fave evil kid flack) and
Bad seed when I started this thread. I also like Emily May. A genius 8
year old kills everyone around her because they are idiots.

It was released in Australia (at least) under the title "Island of
Terror". Well worth seeking out.

How about the kid in "Bad Seed" -- I remember seeing some kind of
article about "At home with John Waters" and he had a framed picture
of the little minx on his desk.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but the baddest kid
by-far was the little blond girl in "The Bad Seed." I still get

The Other
Children of the Corn
Here's two that I can't remember the titles for:
A TV movie starring Valerie Harper whose evil daughter comes back to
haunt the family after dying in a car accident. She posseses her
sister who offs dad by throwing a blow dryer into the bath while
he's celebrating a Calgon moment.
A cheapie film was made from a very bad novel about a cute little
girl with blond curls who is left on a family's stoop and then
systematically kills the three kids in the family so she can have
the parents all to herself.

edge...@tuna.net
Hre are a few more:
- Village of the Damned (and the sequel)
- The Crucible
- Lord of the Flies (although the lead boy is not evil by any means)
Vincent Pereira
There is a really good Spanish (I think) film from the early seventies
that I used to have a bootleg of. I think it was called WHO COULD KILL
A CHILD? originally, but my tape had a different title, and it was about
a couple vacationing on an island where all the children have gone evil
and killed off all the adults. It was really creepy.

I think the one with Valerie Harper was called "Don't Go To Sleep." In
