5 of the best pint-size killers!

February 21, 2023 grimmfest

Psychos don’t have to be hulking 6ft tall giants, some of the best villains in horror history are barely taller than your knee! And sometimes even smaller…

Join The Reaper as we walk hand in hand with these tiny terrors!

CHUCKY

The infamous Charles Lee Ray burst onto screens in 1988, getting gunned down in the opening minutes of CHILD’S PLAY and transferring his soul into a Good Guy doll – and that doll is still going strong 4 decades later!

Not least in franchise-resurrecting BRIDE OF CHUCKY in 1998 (screening at Mini Cini on Friday 24th February, get your tickets now!) which cranked up the humour and introduced Charles Lee Ray’s girlfriend Tiffany.

Now a certified star of the small screen with his own TV series, Chucky is a miniature legend!

M3GAN

Your new best friend hit screens this year, with a sequel already confirmed – people can’t get enough of this AI dancing and killing machine.

LEPRECHAUN

Who’s got his gold!? Warwick Davis got a whole franchise out of playing the little Oirish fecker who just wants his gold back.

He went to Las Vegas, space and THA HOOD (twice!) and crossed swords with none other than a very young Jennifer Aniston in his original film.

THE GUYS FROM PUPPET MASTER

Still trucking after 15 (!) films are Andre Toulon’s demonic little puppets, and I had to group these adorable terrors together.

The ensembles expanded over the course of the series, but the original crew hold a special place in The Reaper’s heart – Blade, Pinhead, Jester, Tunneler, Gengie, Shreddar Khan and Leech Woman!

DOLLS

The dolls in Stuart Gordon’s 1987 film are nasty little buggers – if you get trapped in a storm, pray you don’t end up at their house!

Don’t miss out on seeing one of these guys on the big screen – come join us for BRIDE OF CHUCKY and SHAUN OF THE DEAD at the Mini Cini on Friday 24th February!
