Scream, Queens! The Top 40 Horror Films of The 80’s!

The Children

I hated going to the Drive-In when i was a kid. First, we were never allowed to go to the snack bar. My mother would pack some sandwiches and RC Colas, and that’s all we were allowed to have. Then we had to contend with mosquitoes and bees. It was never a happy experience, but the greatest time I had at the Drive-In was when I was ten years old, and my sister took me to see a double feature. I honestly can’t remember what the main feature was, but I will always remember the second film, The Children. It had kids … killing their parents, which my sister and I found hilarious … and cathartic. A busload of happy schoolkids accidentally drive through a toxic gas cloud, causing the children to spontaneously develop black fingernails … and a burning desire to kill everyone. Did I mention burning desire? How bout a hug?
