This one is hard. I wish it was about favorite movies involving creepy children, of which I have many. But childhood themed? I'm going with Child's Play.
Didn't we all have a favorite doll or stuffed animal? I had Aubrey Baby, which was a doll my mom found in the clearance bin at Macy's when I was a toddler. I cuddled with her for most of my childhood, and she sat on a shelf in my room when I was a teenager. But we also had creepy dolls that inhabited our residence. My mom was convinced that Mrs. Beasley was a lovable antique, but my sister and I were terrified of it.
Chucky from Child's Play is reminiscent of "Big Brother" and "Big Sister" from the 80s. I never had one because that shit scared me. I already had my little sister following me around. I didn't need a life sized version sleeping in my room. This movie had so many fun things about it. The Chucky effects were great, especially for the 80s, and Andy was so well-cast. This flick went on to spawn several sequels, some of which were pretty good.
