of theez(D€ ax a a 5 - a -o N o o Or oo o 3creeps By MICHAEI GILTZ cToRS who make slapstick comedies don't walk around getting pies thrown in their faces.</p><p> And actors who appear in musicals aren't forced to br€ak into song at their local Starbucks.</p><p> So why does it seem like child actors who appear in horror films get cursed career-wise (and some- times otherwise)? Now we're sure Seamus Davey-Fitz- patrick - who plays Damien, the spawn of Satan in the new version of "The omen" - will be just fine.</p><p> Even if the studio has tempted fate by opening the remake (also star- ring Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles) on June 6 - that's right,6/6/06.</p><p> But'here are the fates of other child actors who danced with the devil in the pale moonlight.</p><p> Mr. and Mrs, Davey-Fitzpatrick, please take care with young Seamus. 'THE OMEN',(1976) Harvey Stephens, who played Damien, was so scarily convincing that apparently even casting direc- tors were afraid to meet him.</p><p> Aside from one TV credit. he never acted again.</p><p> Or WAS he acting? 'THE SH|N|NG'(1980) Danny Lloyd, the 6-year-old kid who creeped us out with "Redrum,' made only one other movie.</p><p> Now the greatest horror of all: He's trapped in a room filled with screaming kids.</p><p> That's right - he's a teacher. 'POLTERGETST'(1982) Blonde cutie Heather O'Rourke turned "They're here!" into a catch phrase.</p><p> But persistent illness - and perhaps a misdiagnosis - plagued her young life and she died at age 12 while filming "Poltergeist lll." 'THE STXTH SENSE" (rg!t!t) Haley Joel Osment shot to fame playing a little boy who sees dead people.</p><p> But. ever since then he's clearly been possessed by the spirit of a 63-year-old man.</p><p> What else can explain his unnerving maturity?
