That stuff is only scary to a very specific group of Christians.

Man I'm an asshole. But still, I feel the trope is played out in horror.

I just don't get it. How is a pentagram scary?

    I never really understood why they shove it in either. It isn’t scary and kills the horror because at times the movie was pretty believable until the satanic stuff came out. Seeing little girls with superpowers immediately takes me out of whatever immersion had been built up.

      One of my big problems with the "scary little kid" trope in movies is that the acting of little kids can be pretty spotty, no fault to the kids of course, but it's tough to expect a kid to having the acting chops to carry intense stuff like that.

      Sometimes it works but lots of the time it's just kinda meh.
