@mitchconner they've never shown a child killed on screen in terrified c'mon now
@mitchconner SOMEBODY
@mitchconner TBF Terrifier is an indie series that blew up, I wouldn’t really call it Hollywood
@subnetter @mitchconner only horror movies I can recall that show a kid getting graphically killed were Maximum Overdrive (1986) kid gets run over by a steamroller and The Blob (1988) kid gets eaten by the Blob. I'm sure there's a lot more but it's actually pretty uncommon!
@sun @subnetter @mitchconner "don't kill the kid" was one of the first lessons Alfred Hitchcock learned, the hard way.

The context of the meme references terrifier 2 and 3. Maybe I'm mixing up films, but in the 2nd Art the Clown blows up a Santa meet and greet at the mall, no children are seen killed on screen but it's implied.
Third film opens with a graphic scene where it is implied a child is also killed when Art breaks into a house on Christmas.
The scene above is what made 50% of the audience members in the movie theater walk out, but it's because a bunch of kids convinced their parents to take them and then they realized it's actually rated R as fuck lmao

@sun @subnetter @mitchconner The film "Beware! Children At Play" was pretty notorious for the mass on-screen killing of children in its finale, but it was a low-budget slasher flick and the acting is so bad that the scene is usually shared for laughs.
I think Alien vs Predator: Requiem also had an on-screen child death, and also depicted the deaths of pregnant women in a maternity ward. Pretty sure those scenes were added for deliberate shock value.
