Give me a good decapitation anytime. I love arterial spray as much as the next guy. Serial killers, movie monsters, demons and spirits – bring them on. Just keep the creepy kids away. Nothing makes ol’ Doctor Gash’s skin crawl like a film loaded with spooky little ankle-biting monsters. And the brilliant people over at Chiller are tapping into that fear for their newest special.

To welcome in Halloween this year, Chiller will be airing the newest installment of the “Chiller 13” series. Tune in on October 28 at 8pm to see “Chiller 13: Horror’s Creepiest Kids.” Tell me, what could be more disturbing?

To help select the top 13, Chiller assembled a group of experts that include two performers who undoubtedly deserve a spot on the list, Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan) and Miko Hughes (Pet Sematary).

Personally, I think this is a great idea and a cool way to feature some memorable performances. Whether the list contains Linda Blair’s iconic portrayal of Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist, Harvey Stephens as Damien in The Omen or even the banjo-playing mongoloid from Deliverance (okay, the mongoloid probably won’t make it, but he was a creepy bastard), the “Chiller 13: Horror’s Creepiest Kids” show should bring back some great memories.

From the Press Release
This October Chiller dares you to dim the lights, grab your security blanket and prepare yourself for the next chapter in the popular Chiller 13 series. “Chiller 13: Horror’s Creepiest Kids” premieres Friday, October 28, at 8 pm ET/PT. The 90-minute special is the perfect primer for Halloween, counting down the top terrifying moments in horror film history and featuring some of the most sinister little devils ever to appear on the silver screen.

Whom will Chiller crown the creepiest kid? Will it be Danny Torrance repeating “redrum” in The Shining or the frightening jerky death walk of Samara Morgan in The Ring or the head-spinning demon child Regan McNeil in The Exorcist?

Chiller’s panel of horror experts includes actors Nolan Gould (“Modern Family” and the upcoming Chiller original movie Brian Keene’s Ghoul), Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan), Miko Hughes (Pet Sematary and the upcoming Chiller original movie Steve Niles’ Remains) and Rachel Potter (The Addams Family on Broadway), as well as Michael Gingold (Fangoria Managing Editor), Brian Collins (Bloody-Disgusting.com), writer Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and film director Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary).

The program drew approximately 3 million viewers to the network over its airings, almost one third were new to Chiller prime.
