This was the movie that got me to be frightened of creepy little kids. Heck, I was just a kid when I saw it, so the damage has been long standing. It also gave me an appreciation for chilling movies that didn't dabble in th supernatural. Little Rhoda Penmark (played superbly by Patty McCormack) was just what the title says -- a bad seed. She didn't have the devil in her. She wasn't swarmed by demons. She was just the world's most insane little brat.
Some trivia: The song that little Rhoda plays on the piano was the very first song I ever learned to play. Us siblings would play the song with a blank stare in our eyes, to creep other people out. It worked...
