People can change a lot in just a few years. 

Especially in the early years. I mean children can change into a completely different person in just a year or so. While this change slows down as age goes on, there is no end to the transformation of a person. Well, that is what we wanted to see in these child actors from some of our favorite horror movies. From The Exorcist to recent ones like Orphan, there are many people that we need to get through.

And if you didn’t feel old already, these are bound to make you feel a little older than you actually are. I mean I didn’t even realize some of these movies came so many years ago, it just seems so recent and it is always a surprise to see the actors portraying these characters changing so much right in front of your eyes. 

You can see that for yourself by scrolling below.

#1 John Franklin from Children of the Corn. (1984)

#2 Linsey Haun from Village of the Damned. (1995)

#3 Daveigh Chase from The Ring. (2002)

#4 Linda Blair from The Exorcist. (1973)

#5 Jodelle Ferlan from Silent Hill. (2006)

#6 Emily Browning from Ghost Ship. (2002)

#7 Isabelle Fuhrman from Orphan. (2009)

#8 Miko Hughes from Pet Sematary. (1989)

#9 Sissy Spacek from Carrie. (1976)

#10 Ivana Baquero from Pan’s Labyrinth. (2006)

#11 Kirsten Dunst from Interview with the Vampire. (1994)

#12 Anna Sophia Robb from The Reaping. (2007)

#13 Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick from The Omen. (2006)

Sadly, most of these child actors have left the film industry altogether. As most child actors already know is that being in a movie at a young get can actually harm you more than it can help you. People think you are like your character which is pretty dumb. The shinning twins couldn’t even get into a school because people saw them in the movie and declined their requests.

#14 Cody Dorkin from Village of the Damned. (1995)

#15 Louide and Lisa Burns from The Shining. (1980)

#16 Dakota Fanning from Hide and Seek. (2005)

#17 Roger Princep from The Orphanage. (2007)

#18 Saoirse Ronan from Lovely Bones. (2009)

Not many people are aware of this particular movie but I can safely say that it is one of the movies that has stuck with me through my life. It is honestly a diamond in the rough but it is definitely not for everybody.

#19 Christina Ricci from The Addams Family. (1991)

#20 Chloe Grace Moretz from The Amityville Horror. (2005)

#21 Alex Vincent from Child’s Play. (1988)

#22 Junio Valverde from The Devil’s Backbone. (2001)

#23 Johnny Depp from A Nightmare on Elm Street.
