3. Aiden (The Ring, 2002)

There are loads of kids from horror movies to pick for this list but none get our back's up as much as this little weirdo. It's hard to imagine that Aiden - Naomi Watts' son in the Gore Verbinski remake of the classic Japanese terror tale - was ever normal even before he became embroiled in the whole dead girl stuck in a well shenanigans. Looking like he hasn't been to sleep ever young Aiden (David Dorfman) hams it up like his career depended on it and to make matters worse he was just as awful in the sequel. In fact the only thing Dorfman has ever looked comfortable in was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake from 2003 and that's just because he looks like he could actually be a part of the Sawyer clan for real. You've heard the phrase old before his time before right? Well that's exactly how we'd describe Aiden - he's like an old man in a child's body. Heaven knows what this guy's doing these days but we'd hazard a guess he's moved onto a career as a serial killer. It's a pretty safe bet.
