8. The Creepy Kid
Children are supposed to say things like:
"Can I have ice cream?"
In horror movies, they say:
"Mommy says you're going to die tonight."
Excuse me?
WHO TAUGHT YOU THAT?
The creepy kid usually knows everything.
They know the ghost.
They know the history of the house.
They know who is going to die.
And they somehow know things that happened 200 years before they were born.
Meanwhile, the adults are standing around going:
"Kids have such active imaginations."
No.
That child just described your murder in perfect detail.
Listen to the child.
