Trick R Treat images, doing scary kids properly.
If you’re gonna have any kind of frightening children in your horror film you have to do it right.(you know what i’m talking about, good scary kids - Dark Water (Original); Rubbish scary kids - Resident Evil). Hence I like the above image, flaming pumpkin head and scary kid dressed as scarecrow.
I’ve been wrong when predicting what will be a hit and what won’t before, and I will be again, but if you take a look at the specifics of ‘Trick R Treat’ it could have the makings of a fun little horror film. Michael Dougherty the director isn’t some hack, he co-wrote Superman Returns (regardless of your feelings about that film, it wasn’t badly written) had a hand in X2. mmmm the hole in my logic comes when you get to ‘Urban Legends 3′… but i’ll give him a pass on that one. So aside from the director the film actually has a pretty decent cast including Brian Cox, Dylan Baker and Anna Paquin.
Is it vaguely possible this could be this years Slither?
by that I don’t mean a flop at the box office.

I actually thought the remake of Dark Water wasn’t all that bad. Not as good as the original, but the scene toward the end when the little girl is sitting on the couch wearing her raincoat, with her face covered with shadow is pretty creepy.
As a footnote, the image of those kids with glowing eyes from (the original!) Village of the Damned has creeped me out since I was 10. A VERY disturbing image is from Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, where a young boy’s face is splattered with blood as he puts an axe into his abusive father.
