Why People Appear In Horror Movies

The people who make horror movies really know how to get to the root of our fears and course that makes sense because scaring the wits out of us is their bread and butter. Whether they’re playing on our insecurities about own lives or bringing our darkest nightmares to life, we can’t get enough of horror movies. The truth is that we love the feeling of being afraid, it’s thrilling and gets our blood pumping, but we also want to feel that way in a safe environment i.e half hiding under the blanket in our bed at home.
Now we all have our favorites when it comes to horror movies, some of us enjoy supernatural or religious themed stories while others like slasher or gore flicks, but I think we can all agree that when child actors appear in horror movies it makes them even more terrifying. Maybe it’s because we associate children with innocence so seeing one possessed by the demons or climbing out of tv screens really grabs our attention.
But what has become of the child

But to us she’ll always be Samara!

13 The Omen - Harvey Spencer Stephens
Harvey Spencer Stephens , now 46, only ever acted in one film but it was so scary that we still can’t forget him. Harvey played the role of Damien in the original version of The Omen (1976). He was just four years old when he was chosen to play the role of the evil little boy and became very famous following the films success. He would often appear at promotional events and conventions on his tricycle – how creepy is that? But The Omen was his first and last movie.
He appeared briefly in the news earlier this year when he was arrested for a road rage incident in which he repeatly punched two cyclists following a road rage incident. He received a suspended sentence and was forced to pay compensation for the victims as well as attend anger management classes.
