10 Best Horror Movie Villains From The 70s

When you think about the most evil children in movie history, it's likely that Damien Thorn is one of the first to spring to mind. Although he appeared as a regular kid like butter wouldn't melt, he was in fact the antichrist and the son of Satan. But to be honest, Damien never truly looked that innocent to begin with - child actor Harvey Stephens did a fantastic job of portraying someone who could appear so cold and unnerving just by standing still.

Regardless of whether you've seen The Omen, most people know the infamous scene where Damien rides his bicycle in the house repeatedly, before crashing into a table that causes both a goldfish and his own mother to fall over a balcony and to their gruesome deaths.

The character struck such a chord with audiences, that the sequel ended up being titled Damien: Omen II.
