The Bad Seed (1956) - Original Theatrical Trailer

[@RozitaVideo]

YOU GIVE ME THOSE SHOES LEROY! My older brother let me watch this movie when I was 8. He had me doing my "Rhoda" impression until I was in my 40's! (RIP Bobby!)

[@lorileihicks5262]

I love this movie!!!! A true Classic!

[@TheNascarchick48]

My all time favorite movie as well I watch it every time it's on.

[@TheMoviedude2012]

This is one of my all time favorite movies!!

[@sylviastovall]

Loved this movie. Patty McCormack still looks beautiful, she is now 70ish. You can see her on an episode of Supernatural tv series from 2012.

[@susanallen2202]

Growing up in the 60's, I remember only 2 movies we kids were forbidden to watch (usually ran late at night) - "the Bad Seed" and "Lord of the Flies". Of course we watched them every chance we got! Hmmm, maybe that's why we're kinda warped....

[@jayenejay]

OMG! This is one of my favorite movies. When i saw Orphan and th Good Son, I thought the same thing! Both are good movies but the Bad Seed is the original!

[@Ludford100]

I disagree. I am of the view that Patty McCormack is OUTSTANDING in this film and Nancy Kelly plays her part BRILLIANTLY. There are many facets to the plot and ALL the players contirbute to making this film EXCEPTIONAL.

[@maggiekoch9348]

This film is proof that evil knows no age, status, or gender. It makes the Good Son look like Mary Poppins by comparison.

[@lindyprimo9025]

Maggie Koch YA THINK...!!!!

[@Puppylove358]

We read this play in class this past week... really good!

[@bernaebeatty2138]

I really love this movie

[@MelanieLouM]

Great old movie...way ahead of its time! ;-)

[@LordAdrian]

Nice movie!!! I love it,I must have it on dvd!

[@LikaLaruku]

I wish someone would upload this movie. I haven't seen it in forever.

[@MichaelLantz]

She also played on the tv show "The Roper's" back in 1979-1980.She was Jeffrey Tambor's wife in the show.They were the neighbor's of Stanley and Helen Roper.

[@ualflygal]

TRIVIA: Patty McCormack (Rhoda) played Adriana's mom on The Sopranos

[@BarnyBBellows]

50 years later she grew up to become Ann Coulter...

[@IBeliebSomeday]

Doing this play for drama club. Very excited now.

[@marfalove]

We read the play in class it's so good

[@atomic3939]

Hmmm. Some of the scenes here are a bit different in the version that i own.

[@zombiefreak91]

watched this movie back when i was like been looking for it since then im 20 now kind of afraid it wont be as good as i thought it was back then

[@annemariegettys1]

this movie scared the pants off of me....for my life...could never watch it again!

[@MaeganG1803]

There should have been a sequel. Continued from where it left off. I wanted to see how the characters react after Rhoda is found. And what about Rhoda's real grandmother? The one she inherited her craziness from. I think they should have done a sequel with her in it. And perhaps she could have had other kids that inherit her murderous ways. A sequel to this could have been a smash hit.

[@NewYorkS4U]

Do you think Angelica from "Rugrats" could be based on Rhoda?

[@Kidicaruslover]

No but she reminds me of her

[@FreeAimDog]

im watching the old one and its pretty good . new verson link pls

[@UNOwen1]

'A basket full of kisses...'

[@flyflip87]

what's scary is that this could actually happen

[@NewYorkS4U]

Just give Rhoda to Joan Crawford, then she'll sing a different tune : I

[@Shadowcub69]

***** Joan Crawford needed a kid like this.

[@EpicF4iLx23]

i never seen this movie but my grandma said this movie was rly good when she was a kid

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

Aw man Orphan was so freaky (saw it on tv) and dark i had to watch children's movies while sitting out in the sun to lift my spirits! lol so true about the orginiality of the Bad Seed. btw did you like the ending credits? where they showed the actors and actresses?

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

Don't forget the Ring! or Reagan from the Exorcist!! (chills)

[@gatheringleaves]

What are amygdalaes?

[@Controversial_Celebrity_Quotes]

@onebaud Because acting has improved so much since the 1950's.

[@anastasiagirl1342]

I want to see this

[@faeryquene]

@DestroyerNr55 It's about a little girl Rhoda Penmark who happens to be a serial killer. People seem to die when she wants something they have-such as the little boy, Claude Degal, who won their school's penmanship medal, and a former neighbor where Rhoda's family previously lived who 'accidently' fell down a flight of stairs.

[@beverlybolton9334]

How do I get this entire movie

[@rhodalynbanez2605]

in what movie does regan teresa macneil come from???

[@SherryBirkinFan227]

Damn this is a movie that has kid murder suspense Which i find very great this was a great classic i have to say

[@Leatherbubba]

The ending was a little weak. She randomly gets struck by lightening. I had to hit reverse just to make sure I saw what I saw.

[@PatrickLHawkins]

@Kari166 it's completely over the top. But it makes her performance that much more entertaining.

[@AdamsOlympia]

This is where they got the idea for "The Good Son!"

[@Shatamx]

A shame they couldn't let Rhoda live at the end of this film. Damn you censorship of WB!

[@wadedavid4375]

Eileen Heckart should have Won Best Supporting Actress! Her Drunk scene was very Moving!

[@Controversial_Celebrity_Quotes]

Cindy Brady could kick her arse.

[@Saboteur4]

what grade is she in?

[@Tommytwothumbs999]

Back when America was an adult oriented culture we understood what would happen if we put kids up on pedestals and worshiped them or if they were victims of abuse. We didn't make excuses or Dr. prescribed drugs ! We used a healthy diet ,discipline and structure in our virtual crime free world, and kids were the respectability of their parents.When our kids were the healthiest fittest and scholastically were the best and brightest in the world not 26 out of 34 ! Now their almost all some version of Rhoda, and all we have is excused instead of the last 2 min of this movie ! lol

[@setsytes]

"virtual crime free world" ahahahahahaha

[@James1239170]

Amygdalaes are basically organs in your body that produce emotion, without them, you would basically be like an emotionless zombie I assume.

[@Angeliclily]

XDD Leroy was hilarious!

[@fulcilives92]

Great movie didnt see that end it just ended out of knowhere

[@ionthetarget]

@GypsyFullMoon ...mine also. Try 'Primal Fear' if you have not already seen it. (Carpenters rule LOL) says goodjeans

[@unclerobbieslug]

what the hell happens at 1:17?

[@16lucylover]

I wonder how they can get children to do horror movies like how the directors and producers explain to them what thier doing

[@deblacki]

Rhoda was a monster, she killed that little boy with them shoes!

[@NakedSurfer1980]

I'm...falling..asleep.......zzzzzzzzz......z.zzzzzzz......zzzzzz......... Now I know why trailer these days are half this size.

[@KaramelLolaBunnie91]

You're missing the Exorcist/Reagan

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

I would recommend this film. Children's film- heck no. This is a pyschological thriller/drama/horror film. They don't show a lot but it plays with your mind. It is REALLY messed up- in the good way. If you have seen Orphan, this is where they might have gotten their idea.

[@lynetteledbetter9696]

This was one disturbing movie...

[@milililikiwi]

How does an 8 year old manage to kill like that. Has she no conscience? Wow. That's fucking messed up.

[@moviefannnnnn]

great movie. even though see's a killer she's so adorable. it's hard to hate her.

[@KeepingItEpic]

Why did Rhoda and Esther have to die...

[@TheHilaryous1]

0:32 - "Soulja Boy " he says

[@meganluminais3586]

Kind of like junior from problem child

[@gatheringleaves]

Does anyone here think it's possible for someone to be born bad/evil like Rhoda in this film or is it just fiction?

[@unclealand]

From the trailer you'd think most of the movie was made up of shots of people hugging Patty McCormick.

[@WilliamLinaresdclxvi]

Honey Boo Boo and family when they were skinny

[@lindyprimo9025]

William Linares WHEN WAS THAT...???

[@draydog921]

i played the mom in the play

[@KeepingItEpic]

Esther and Rhoda should be friends...

[@rhoda10181974]

My name is Rhoda

[@pnyxprez]

This is where " the Willies" and " E B G Bs" came from...

[@SouthwestRanger]

They should've sent Rhoda to Vietnam.....The VC would've been decimated in a Month !!!

[@windstorm1000]

'The Bad Seed' is one of the most badly acted films of all time--but, like Valley of the Dolls, its SO unintentionally bad its good! (that's the definition of 'camp', by the way). Hilarious, really. Alone in the cast, only Henry Jones seems to understand that none of this drivel should be taken seriously--and he steals the movie from everyone!! He should have gotten an Oscar nomination!

[@TheRunawayOfToday]

I'm 13 And I was born in the wrong generation.

[@Markcope1981]

not a very scary trailer is this a childrens film

[@KoasterKing205]

ok doesn't exactly scream horror though...

[@NorthernLights96]

It was the 1950's, there version of horror was quite different to ours now.

[@KoasterKing205]

Jessica Coyle Still though the trailer could've been abit more horror like.

[@rhodalynbanez2605]

i was really shocked about it.... my god! i'm a hard-headed daughter/ child but i'm not like this!

[@Hersheychocolate567]

yes, don't be stupid

[@Kari166]

Call me crazy, but I really didn't like Nancy Kelly's performance. WAAAYYY too overly dramatic.

[@marissanye1917]

now rhoda!

[@fleskfan100]

VEGGIE SALAD

[@KaramelLolaBunnie91]

the Exorcist :) ;) [Reagan]

[@SaucyWench7]

But Leroy is pretty annoying too!

[@dltanner99]

Horror novel see video book trailer

[@chotzrary]

One of my favorite films. Who cares if it's black and white, from the fifties. Very gripping, and to realize the child is really that evil. Why it was remade is beyond me, also it being compared to The Good Son is kinda annoying.

[@DDumbrille]

My gawd, that Patty McCormack has to be one of THE worst child actresses ever. The whole film is a mess (Nancy Kelly proves why she never became a star), but at least there are two good perfromances from Eileen Heckart and Henry Jones.

[@sylviastovall]

Wow! Patty was and still is a very good actress.

[@rhodalynbanez2605]

#proud2beRHODA

[@Angeliclily]

Just watched this tonight with my mom. O_O Little girl is annoying as heck. e__e

[@DDumbrille]

I appreciate your opinion. I just think that McCormack delivers her lines in that stagey overenunciated style that doesn't seem natural at all. Maybe it worked for the stage, but not here. And Nancy Kelly is just so over the top, SO melodramatic, it doesn't come off as credible. But perhaps it didn't come off that way 50+ years ago...I can see how it would've been shocking back then. Would be great if they remade it, updated it... Anyway, I'm sure we'll have to agree to disagree.

[@zzz100ificati]

Inb4 ponies.
