The 10 Scariest Kids Movies Ever
With Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark hitting theaters Friday, August 9, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the movies of our youth. Y’know, the ones that traumatized us for life. We can all agree that some of our most frightening memories came from these movies we watched as kids. Some were creepy, while some can only be described as emotionally-scarring.
So if you have an irrational fear of spiders, or poisoned apples, or rabbits (yes, even rabbits), it might be because your parents left you alone with the VHS player rolling one of these “children’s” flicks. You might have not thought about them for years now, but let’s be honest-- these movies messed us up.
