Through analysis of evil children in Larry Cohen’s It’s Alive‚ Brian De Palma’s Carrie‚ and William Friedkin’s The Exorcist I will argue that all monstrous children in horror films represent the cultural fears of parents such as the fear of unsafe medicine harming an infant‚ the fear of telling a child about sex‚ the fear of discipling
