Summary: It seems that horror movies back in the day really had it in for creepy children. Now, we have ones with evil nail polish and radiation-addled minds. Fun for the family!

History: Five kids were minding their own business on the school bus when it passed through a radioactive cloud resulting from a factory leak. It warped their minds, turned their fingernails black, and gave them a terrifying power to fry others with a single touch.

Notable Kills: Hugs have never been this scary.

Final Fate: The adults finally manage to kill the children by cutting their hands off with a sword. However, a newborn baby has the same hands...

Powers/Abilities: Their touch is so radioactive that it can fry others to the bone. They also are apparently immune to bullets.

Weakness: Cut both their hands off, and they're through.

Scariness Factor: 4-As if their creepy expressions weren't enough, these kids just need to touch you to ensure your doom. Seriously, getting radiation burns is absolute Hell.

Trivia: -This film was also known as "The Children of Ravensback".

-If you can believe it, the sounds of the childrens' death throes are from that of cats. Really horny cats, we might add.
