10 Horror Movies That Dared To Kill Kids

10. Trick R Treat - P Is For Principal Is A Psycho Killer

Although this film suffered numerous delays and an extremely limited theatrical run, it has still gone on to be a cult classic. The movie is made up of four intersecting stories, tied together by a mysterious trick-or-treater, wearing a burlap sack on his head.

In an early segment we meet the town’s principal, who notices a boy stealing candy from his yard after smashing people’s pumpkins. The principal confronts the boy, and talks to him about Halloween etiquette before offering him a chocolate bar. The boy eats the chocolate and starts vomiting blood immediately. The principal reveals that the chocolate was laced with cyanide, and that the boy should remember to “always check your candy”.

After the principal buries the boy’s body in the backyard, he retreats to his basement. There, the principal and his son begin carving the boy’s decapitated head like a jack o’lantern.
