Continuing the horror movie a day posts for October today we go back to 1956 with Mervyn LeRoy‘s “The Bad Seed“. The first evil child movie with Patty McCormack playing the very creepy 8 year old psychopath Rhoda Penmark. Unfortunately it was made in the old code days were you couldn’t make a film where criminals get away with crime, so they devised a divine ending instead of the original ending in both the book and play. Where she totally gets away with it. Still totally worth the watch.

An interesting psychological horror flick called “Joshua” came out a few years back. A cool twist on the bad seed tale.
Ay, I saw that a looooooong time ago, when I was too young to sit and watch it properly, but it still stuck with me. I’ve been meaning to rewatch it…
