Notable offenders: It's Alive (1974), The Children (1980), Pet Sematary (1989), Grace (2009) Having a baby truly is a joyous thing. It also has its fair share of perks. You can get out of any social event you don't fancy going to. You can now forget about your own dreams and live vicariously through your child. You can also show off without coming off as a jerk (who doesn't love hearing about your child's good grades in Kindergarten?). However, the horror genre has made it so that any child under the age of four is essentially the creepiest thing to ever walk the face of the earth. The best example of this? That would be the little undead rapscallion Gage Creed from Stephen King's Pet Sematary. Gage starts off as a pretty normal kid. Adorable, rambunctious and full of energy. That is until he is hit by a truck and his father buries him in an ancient burial ground only to be become reanimated and wreck havoc upon his family and the townsfolk. Yeah, hes not so adorable after that.
