10 Most Messed Up Horror Movie Families

10. The Robeson Family - The People Under The Stairs

While Wes Craven is famed for legendary horror offering such as Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Hills Have Eyes and The Last House on the Left, one of Craven's movies that maybe goes a tad underappreciated - at least in a mainstream sense - is 1991's The People Under the Stairs.

As is so often the case with Craven's work, The People Under the Stairs is a picture laced with social commentary and satire, with clear themes of capitalism and class on offer here.

In terms of the twisted family on display in this '91 effort, that's the Robesons - an unhinged mother and father duo who keep a slew of now-cannibalistic children locked up in their basement.

Away from these long-suffering, mutated hostages, the 'couple' have another child, Alice. Having yet to break the "see/hear/speak no evil" rule that saw so many others before her confined to their basement setting, Alice is the apple of the Robseons' eye.

What we'd find out, though, is that Alice was stolen from her birth mother when she was a baby - and more jarringly, the creepy Mommy and Daddy characters are in fact an inbred brother and sister with a penchant for torture.
