10 Horror Movies To Scare The Crap Out Of New Parents

8. The Bad Seed

Orphan Movie
Warner Bros.

Taking on the task of reimagining the works of renowned psychological thriller author William March is no small feat.

Based on the 1954 novel, as well as Maxwell Anderson’s play of the same name, The Bad Seed puts the ‘chills’ into ‘children’. Christine Penmark seems to have it all - a dream home, a loving husband and the most perfect daughter she could wish for in eight-year-old Rhoda. But all is not what it seems behind closed doors as Christine suffers from violent recurring nightmares revolving around Rhonda lying, thieving, and possibly much, much worse.

This is the perfect anti-keeping up with the Joneses film to kickstart your journey into parenthood. You may be stuck to the sofa with a baby who just won't settle, but you could be locked in the house with one baying for blood.
