They don’t scream. They don’t run. They just watch – with those ancient eyes and that smile that says they already know how your story ends. Tea and Karen are joined by Thomas as we get into one of horror’s most enduring and psychologically rich archetypes… the Creepy Kid. From the changeling folklore of ancient mythology to Regan MacNeil, Damien Thorn, Samara Morgan, and Gage Creed, they trace the full history of the evil child in horror, unpack what these characters reveal about our deepest fears around innocence, parenting, and generational trauma, debate the ethics of the trope, and rank their personal favorites. Whether evil is born or made, one thing is certain – that smile will stay with you long after the lights come back on.
