Supernatural loves a scary kid! This week in “Two Men and a Half Men” we met the cuddliest shapeshifter ever in little Bobby John.
While the worst harm Bobby John did was filling his diaper, other creepy kiddies have wrecked murderous mayhem. But while some are just plain evil, others are themselves tragic victims. Here’s ten of the most memorable – which one is the kid you’d least like to baby sit?
Peter Sweeeney from “Dead In The Water”.
Pete was drowned by two boys who were bullying him. Thirty five years later, as the lake he died in is being drained, he starts killing the families of those responsible.
Missy Bender from “The Benders”
Demons I get; people are crazy. Youngest of the inbred clan who like to hunt people for sport, Missy even got the best of Dean.
Melanie Merchant from “Provenance”
A pint-sized serial killer who slaughtered two families and after her death continued to kill anyone who possessed the portrait of her and her adoptive family.
Maggie Thompson from “Playthings”
Another drowned child, her angry spirit kept under control for decades by her surviving sister Rose, becoming her grand-niece Tyler’s ‘imaginary’ friend. When Rose has a stroke and the family hotel is being sold, Maggie starts killing. Every kid should have an imaginary friend like Maggie!
Ben Braeden and Katie in “The Kids Are Alright”
I could’ve told you that children suck the life out their parents, and in this episode the kids do – literally. Well not the real children, but changelings who take their place suck synovial fluid from their parents with a mutlifanged mouth. Even drowning won’t stop these little terrors!
Lilith was evil incarnate. She appeared as a child in our first couple of meetings with her. My favorite appearance is when she possesses the girl in “No Rest For The Wicked” and keeps the Fremont family captive as she cheerfully tortures and kills them.
Kripke said that they had Lilith later appear as an adult, because they knew Sam would eventually kill he: “we tend to go pretty far on the show – we delve bravely into baby-eating – but for some reason the on-camera death of an eleven year old girl made even us a little weak kneed.”
The girl and boy in the wall from “Family Remains”
The children born of an incestuous rape, they live in the walls and crawlspace of the family home degenerating into creatures who are barely human until they finally kill their father and then start on the family who next moves in. Terrifying, but ultimately tragic.
In the middle of a Supernatural Convention during “The Real Ghostbusters”, some nasty kiddie ghosts run rampant. Hope there are none at the Chicago Convention this week!
Jesse in “I Believe Children are our Future”
Be careful what stories you tell your children. Jesse is a cambion – the product of a demon possessing his mother. Things he believes in – whether it’s the tooth fairy or that wanking will give you hairy palms – start coming true. He even turns Cas into an action figure.
The son of Sheiff Jodie Mills from Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid comes back as a zombie and chows down on daddy’s intestines. Om nom nom!!!
I don’t know about creepy, but Lilith in No Rest for the Wicked was by far the most memorable kid on the show for me. That little girl was fantastic!
Love these kids! Especially Jesse and Bobby John (best. name. ever.)! I also really liked the other Lilith from Jus In Bello, although that meat suit didn’t last very long:)
Bobby John was just too cute – and who knows – he’s only half shifter so he might not grow up evil.
Missy Bender and the Family Remains pair – hell, they were human !
Yeah definitely Lilith.
Creepy children are the worst. Somehow we expect adults to be monsters, but not kids. Lillith as a little girl torturing her family was my favorite!
I have to agree with Lilith as well. Especially her scene with Dean in Yellow Fever. She is one spectacularly creepy kid!!!
All these children are creepy its hard to give the title of Ultimate Creepy child.
Maybe that kid in the lake. No scratch that the girl in the painting, now thats scary.
The crossroads demon that bela sold her soul to should get an honorable mention.
The child i´d least would like to baby sit is .. peter sweeney … Hes scary ! I mean look at him !!! @__@ Someone know what happend to the antichrist ?
In my opinion the scariest kid is the girl from Provenance. Look the pic, totally creepy. Bobby John is cutie and he only scaries when he cries a lot.
All of these kids scare me to death, but there is just something about a blond headed little girl, wearing a pink dress stained with blood, and wearing a bright and cheery smile that is just too eerie for words.
hmm… tough call. Lilith or the Merchant girl, I guess. I’m surprised Constance’s kids (from the Pilot) didn’t get a mention.
Sabo – Jesse (the antichrist) is presumed to be in Australia. Probably Surfer’s Paradise. Incidently, Queensland’s had fires, floods and a locust plaque all in the past year… coincidence?
*plague
I’m surprised that Mary didn’t even get any mention… maybe that’s pretty far back, but Bloody Mary scared me to death the first time I saw a clip of that episode. Maybe she wasn’t a little kid, but… still.
Good idea to mention Lilith, too. She’s by far the creepiest character. Something about seeing a sweet little girl with blood all over her beautiful dress and face… reappear later as a fully-grown woman trying to seduce Sam? That’s disturbing.
All the kids are perfect in their rolls … I love Lilith … she was really scaring.
