Celebrate Mother’s Day With 25 of the Most Terrifying Moms in Movie History


Mother does not always know best.

You know a character is frightening when she’s just called “mother.” In Goodnight Mommy, Mutter returns home from a medical procedure with her face fully obscured in bandages, and her twin sons grow increasingly suspicious that their real mother — who drifts through the house like a ghost — is not the one under all that wrapping. in the horror canon, Red is also one bad mother, menacing her doppelgänger family and breaking into their vacation house in one of the scariest home-invasion scenes ever put on film.And listen, she seems pretty devoted to her own children, but if you’ve been living in the sunlight world while the underground society of voiceless others languishes in darkness while eating raw rabbits … then, yeah. The Lodge is a slow-burning feel-bad movie about a soon-to-be stepmom stranded at a remote cabin with her guy’s two children.It’s supposed to be a new family trip in a winter wonderland, but the entire affair has a tragic pall cast over everything due to the kids’ biological mom having recently taken her own life in the brightly adorned kitchen.So, the whole exercise is off to a terrible start, and things only get worse when Riley Keough’s Grace is brushed off at every turn in her attempts to bond with her precious step-kids.
