There are plenty of intriguing new DVD releases in the horror section this week. Two titles stand out as the best bets, especially for those of us who are terrified of tots.
What are the rules of Halloween? And what happens when people don't obey the rules?

What scares parents most? The thought of their kids getting sick. In this film the premise is extended to "kids getting sick and turning against their parents with deadly intent." Yikes.

Mom and dad, I advise you to stock up on candy and remember to keep the lights on all night. Good children... Very good children...

Robert Mulligan's The Other (based on Tom Tryon's even more frightening novel) was terrifying in 1972.
Pet Sematary stays on my favorite list, not for cinematic weight but because the kids freak me out. I am also afraid of the children in the Korean horror films Phone and Acacia. I run away!
