Horror movies love a terrifying tot, with their tiny fingers and evil toes. But child actors grow up and not all of them necessarily want to be known as the Spawn Of Satan for the rest of their lives. We\'ve rounded up eight of the most iconic child nightmares to find out what they\'re up to now.

Warning: most of them just look like normal people.

Picked for the part when he was just four, Harvey Spencer Stephens was apparently selected after he attacked director Richard Donner (he was told to) and punched him in the nads. Blond Stephens had to have his hair dyed for the role, and, other than a small part in a movie a couple of years after

didn\'t purse an acting career. He pops up as a cameo in the remake and you might catch him on the horror circuit signing autographs. Outside of that he works in the city.

2. Lisa and Louise Burns, aka The Grady Twins – The Shining

The creepy-ass Grady twins, dressed in blue dresses and best known for saying, "Come and play with us! Forever!" before appearing hacked to pieces, are, of course, identical twins in real life. Neither Louise nor Lisa Burns pursued acting after their iconic performance, and retreated from the public eye – Louise became a microbiologist, Lisa studied literature. But since December 2013 they\'ve been on Twitter as @Shining_twins and occasionally pop up at screenings and events.

3. John Franklin, aka Isaac – Children of the Corn

Unbelievably, Franklin was in his early 20s when he picked up the role of terrifying 12-year-old Isaac in the 1984 adaptation of Stephen King\'s

. In the movie he leads an evil cult of children who murder all the adults as a sacrifice to "He who walks behind the rows". In real life, Franklin, who had a growth-hormone deficiency as a kid and so is under 5 feet tall, stayed in acting, bagging the role of Cousin Itt in

in 1999, then after 9/11 retired from acting to become a teacher. More recently, he\'s back working as an actor and writer again and is working on a YA novel.

, Furhman played a 35-year-old woman masquerading as a 9-year-old girl (at which point Furhman was herself 10). She\'s now still only 19 but has picked up several more big acting roles, most notably as Clove in

. She\'s got several more movies in the works and looks bound for a bright career.

Before Samara, Chase was best known as Donnie Darko\'s little sister. She even got her own spinoff,

, showing that Samara\'s curse certainly hadn\'t extended to her acting career. The same year she was crawling out of a well and scaring the wee out of us, she was also voicing Lilo in

– she carried on the voice role with the TV show. Chase is 26 now and her work in TV and film includes a long-standing role in

(which finished a few years ago) as well as two low-key thrillers due out this year.

Your mother sews socks that smell! (or something similar – if you didn\'t just catch the ludicrous TV edit). 12-year-old Regan, the girl who gets possessed by the demon Pazuzu, is one of the most iconic scary kids out there, and was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance. Now Blair is 57 and a celebrity in her own right. She\'s forged a steady career starring in low-budget horror movies and comedies, as well as TV shows (including a recurring role in S-Club 7 TV show spinoff

) and guest appearances. Still, she\'ll always be known as the pea-soup girl.

Hughes, who played cute little scapel-wielding undead child Gage, who is killed and ill-advisedly brought back from the dead, had been an actor since he was very tiny and did well, appearing in

(1998). He\'s still only 30 now and has several upcoming movies slated.
