10 Horror Short Villains Who Deserve Their Own Movies

10. Childer

Question for you guys: what's super creepy? That's right, children in general. What's even creepier? That's right, children who live in the forest. What's even creepier? That's right, forest dwelling children in realistic animal masks. What's even weirder than all of that? If you said hoovering grass then well done! You're both correct and also most likely in need of some psychiatric help.

Childer is already a brilliant little film. It's beautifully paced and there are precisely zero jump scares - which is always a plus in our book - and it relies solely on the building, claustrophobic tension as well as the gradual reveal of just how unhinged the mother is. Also, did we mention the super creepy kids in realistic animal masks that live in the forest?

It would be great to see this on the big screen just so the lore behind the childer can be explored in much greater depth. Yes, they're creepy as all hell and it is sort of suggested what their deal is by the end of the film, but learning more about them and letting them have more screen time would be nothing short of a blessing. A creepy, creepy, horrible, terrible blessing.
