Scary Babies: Cinema's Creepiest Infants
The little ones that really keep you awake at night

Babies, eh? Cute little buggers, laughing and crying and pooing and all that. You may not like 'em now, but chances are you'll suddenly have a change of heart and want loads when the time is right.

Nothing quite like the baby you may or may not have accidentally killed through H-fuelled negligence twisting its head around at you, Exorcist-style, is there? And that repetitive dance music? Well, that just makes the scary baby head-twisting all the worse, to be honest.

Scary Baby fact: Two twins babies played Dawn in the film, and the whole cast used to play with the pair of them to elevate the tension of the dark material they were acting out.
