Yeah, that was pretty nuts.

One that hasn't been mentioned that always stuck with me was the kid with the kite from Silver Bullet. I remember seeing that as a kid and it was just a pile of...something.

Starts at the 2:32 mark:

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

Spoiler:
The death of Kenny.

I remember being shocked by this, because you never see a child die in an American animated movie.

Probably not the most shocking, but probably the most brutal and unpleasant:

Death by being ripped apart and drowning:

Skeleton Key

Spoiler:
The deaths in this case are particularly horrific -- although you don't realize it's the children being killed at the time their deaths are first shown.

I don't dig on kids getting killed in movies. I'll generally turn it off when it happens. I'm a dad, what can I say?

I'm a dad too.

I don't like it, but there are plenty of things in movies I don't "like". Also, I know it's not real so it doesn't affect me like seeing something on the news would.

I do often think "wow, that was ballsy of them to do that" knowing the reaction it does get from people.

I saw that movie in the theater, and then hadn't seen it again until a few weeks ago. It shocked me all over again.

As human beings, shouldn't we not dig on ANYONE getting killed in movies? Fuck the children!
