8 Worst Parents In Horror Movies

6. Mommy And Daddy - The People Under The Stairs (1991)

If anyone decides to make a list about landlords from hell, these two would take the top spot. Evicting a woman that has cancer is one thing, but kidnapping children, torturing them, and forcing them to become cannibals? That's unheard of levels of screwed-up. The thing that creeps me out the most about them is we never learn their first names. They go by the last name of Robeson, but the couple refers to each other as Mommy and Daddy. For some reason that scares me way more than a psycho hiding in the closet. We haven't gotten to the best parts. They're also brother and sister, and their family is nothing but inbred, mentally unstable, money-hungry weirdos. It's not explained whether the kidnapping was a family tradition or not, but does it really matter? Daddy wears a gimp suit during torture time, and Mommy makes Mommie Dearest look like Mary Poppins. The only thing I can say is this makes me want to own and not rent ever again.
