Welcome to the Quarter Finals of the Evil Baby Glare-Off. We are down to eight babies— three boys, five girls. Will four girls prevail and take this thing to the end, as predicted in Round One? We'll have our answer by the end of the day.
Today's giveaway is from Just Pretend Kids, a costume company who can disguise your evil monster into something resembling a child with a soul. There will be three winners and anyone is eligible to enter (even non-threatening children) at the end of this post.
And now, say hello to the updated tournament bracket.
Before we get started, there was a great suggestion from Neil's mom to post "good" pictures of all the evil babies after the glare-off is over. If your kid was one of the 32 finalists, please email me a photo of your baby's kinder, gentler side. If your baby doesn't have a kinder, gentler side, I sincerely hope you win this thing. Since your life will most likely be a LIVING HELL until you send that devil off to college.
Ready?
Today's evil baby questions were contributed by Katherine Young, Anonymous, Kevin Blah and Violina23. I'll be using more of your questions in the next couple of days so if you'd like to write one, please do so here.
Winners will move on to the semi-finals tomorrow. Polls close at 12pm EST.
May the evilest baby win!

I am predicting Lil D because as her mother, I know The Glare up close and personal.
I think Lil D would be perfect as Chucky (as you can clearly see from the photo here –> http://danceswithchaos.wordpress.com/2012/10/15/will-her-evil-glare-rule-them-all/
BUT as her mother, I am well aware she learned her power is even stronger when decked out in a frilly dress soo… Bride of Chucky perhaps? BUT she’d need a blond wig, and you should see the glare I get if I dare suggest taming her hair with any sort of “pretty”.
It might even be the one in the photo.
The answer: Whatever she wants.
Lil-d. She just has that evil look d-o-w-n! I think she should dress up as a flying monkey from wizaed of oz…
Lil D. That baby has MAD glare skills!
And I bet she could pull off a seriously evil Cruella Deville!
Sidney. Then dress her as my boss. She has a mean glare too …;)
Lil D. She should go as an angel of course.
Lil D, for sure. She should go as Freddy Kruger. No mask required.
I think Bee will win…I don’t even want to know the shrill of the voice that comes with that open mouth. I think she should go as a a gargoyle because I imagine them screaming real loud as well!
I didn’t want to say before, but now that Eliza has been knocked out (Congrats, Bee!), I have to say that the Lil’ D photo haunts me in my dreams. SCARY!
And winning one of these costumes might make my not-evil-enough glarer a little less grumpy. She’s going as Tiana for Hallowe’en, but we love dress-up clothes! The dresses on that site are gorgeous, too!
I just want to say that I didn’t realize how many exclamation points I used in that comment. So sorry for screaming at you all so early in the morning. 😉
Kadence FTW! She’ll go as… Tinkerbell!
Lil D…Chucky lol…
I’m going to predict Lil D as the winner, she just really sticks out to me as pure evil 🙂 That little angel Kadence runs a close second, but I’m sticking with Lil D.
Ohh.. She loves monkeys. And evil ones are even better.
Lil D should win and could go as a Black Widow Spider.
I predict lil d…that girl has mad skill! She should be bridezilla for Halloween…that look alone would put fear in the hearts of many!!! 🙂
Lil D will win. And she’s going to be whatever she wants because no one is gonna stand in the way of that kiddo! Evil Cinderella, perhaps?
I think Liam’s going to take it. His look, that evil glare, is the epitome of all creepy children’s glares in horror films–most of all, Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick’s Damien in 2006’s The Omen. I can even picture him as a male version of The Firestarter. As for Halloween costumes, he could either dress as Damien, or just don some good zombie make-up and clothes, because he has the glare down pat.
I’m going to have to say that Lil’ D is going to take home the win! My little monster, Cale, would want to be the bright green frog! He thinks they are dinos and like to growl at them haha!
Bee! She can go as a … bee.
And stab people with her stinger.
But Lil’ D would probably have to be IT… that clown scares me…
I like you on FB(Kelly D Saver)
I think Lil D will win and she should be a princess for Halloween.
Lil D as Freddy Krueger
Lil D, Bee, and Kandice are all front runners in my mind, but Lil D is the most “glare” while Bee is screaming abd Kandice is more pouty, sooooooooooooooo I think Lil D has it!
Bee, as the “THIS IS SPARTA!” guy from 300.
Lil D – definitely going to win this one.. I think she’d make a perfect zombie with that glare!
Kadence as Joker in Batman.
Lil D!!!! Bride of chucky!!! I know her mother already said it but it was the first I thought of too!!! But I think she should be a Disney character bc no one wants to dress a little girl in a scary costume. I’m thinking happiest place on earth — Disney it is!
Lil D for the win and forger costume Katness from the Hunger Games.
Liam, he easily be Damien from The Omen. Same hair cut even.
I think it’s Lil D—how about she go as a ghost and just drop a sheet over that scowl? 🙂
I think Sidney will win it all!
I think Lil D will win. She could go as an evil princess.
It’s gotta be Lil D … her glare is scarier than my daughter’s! For a Halloween costume, I’d have to go with her mother’s suggestion of Bride of Chuckie! 🙂
I think that she should go as a lion. She looks like she is hunting prey 🙂 – This is Stephanie finishing her answer.
I am going to say Kadence. You can totally see the evil in her eyes.
Kadance – she should go as a starbucks straw.
Kadence. She’d make an awesome garden gnome.
Lil D 🙂 though so honoured to have made it this far in the competition!
Lil D–and that look sure brings out the old 30’s vampire vibe….
I knew from the very first day that Lil D would win! That is one scary child! She should dress up as a Grimlin!!!
Bee as rosemary’s baby
Lil D and she should go as the sweetest fluffiest thing you can find. Maybe go with that whole “cupcake baked by the devil” from RFML 🙂
For me, Kadence takes it. That look is just “Don’t MAKE me take this straw out of my mouth!”
She should dress as an Angel. While making that face.
oops forgot what she would be for halloween- chuckie’s bride (lil d for the win)
Kadence! That kid is terrifying. She’d make a great Maleficent for Halloween!
Lil’D… As whatever she chooses ten minutes before going out because that’s just how evil she is
I have to go with Sidney who knocked my evil guy out of the running. Those baby blues can be used for evil! I say Sidney goes as The Nototrios S.I.D., famous toddler gangster.
Paging Sids mom/dad: Where do you live? Our kids could go together. I bet they would scare up a lot of candy!
Lil D would do Halloween a disservice if she didn’t dress as a Disney princess. Because who hasn’t wanted to see one of those chicks go completely ape-shit PMS-y on their magical prince?
Lil D and i’m thinking either chucky or the devil himself
I think the final will be a showdown between Kadence and Lil D with Lil D as the winner. How about a frilly ballerina for her costume? 😉
I am putting my vote in for Lyla. It’s definitely less of a glare, and more of a “Yep, I’m judging you, and I don’t like what I see,” kind of look, and it haunts my soul.
She would be a dead ringer if she dressed as my mother-in-law for Halloween.
I’m going with Lil D and I think she will choose to go as a Princess for Halloween ( thus throwing off those of us who are scared to death of her)
Kadence has that calculated evil look, that says, “Don’t mind me; I’ll just calmly sip my drink while I plot your demise.” Horrifying! I think she could take it. Bee is a close second, in my book.
For Halloween she can wear all gray, throw some twigs in her hair, and call herself the “Tornado of Terror.”
I cannot wait to see the sweet nicer side pics of all the evil kids!!! I hope all the mommies remember to send you their pics for after the contest is over:) If you’re reading this and your kid was in the contest, please remember to send it in!!!
Kadence will win, and she should definitely go as a fairy, you know, to throw ppl off
Bee should win, and go as the catepiller from the animated Alice in Wonderland.
That picture of Lil D is flinch-tastic. She should go as the Exorcist. What child wouldn’t love to be covered in oatmeal?
I hope you DO post the happy pictures too, because I’m really having a hard time thinking the best of that poor child with that picture!!
Lil’D for the win 🙂 Gotta go with vampire (the kind that DOESN’T sparkle)
I think Bee is not creepy or wicked type of evil, more simple, long-forgotten “weaklings must die” type of pure evil.
And it’s so powerful, to the point she’s almost charismatic! Should she be the future President, her dictatorship will enslave the world!
Some of my evil predictions are still in the running. good to know I can count on my goosebumps to accurate detect evil.
Dying at your comment. So hilarious.
Sidney for sure!!!
Lil D for sure! And I think she would make an excellent Carrie post blood dump 🙂
Absolutely lil D – Wow! My first thought was Chucky, but really I think her powers of intimidation are better suited to something with some contrast, something sweet, like a bunny or a butterfly – but complete with THE GLARE!
Lil D
And – anything she wants, I wouldn’t say no to her! (though an evil princess or wicked witch would be my picks)
I think Sydney is going to win!
I’m going to jump on the Lil D bandwagon. I’m guessing her nickname is short for little devil and I think that’s exactly what she should be for Halloween or an ironic angel.
Bee has it in the bag! She should go as a dementor from The Harry Potter books. Although a Highlander outfit could work if her rebel yell is right for it.
Don’t think Lil D is going to take it. Trying too hard. and not really a glare but a snapshot of rage. Sydney is what glares are made of: smoldering, barely contained loathing. It’s the restraint and nuance that makes for a glare.
I would just like to say to those who are picking Lil D for the win — I am loving the costume suggestions.
And thank you. 🙂
I think Lil D.
Kevin – Trying to hard? Really? I can tell you almost no effort went into this glare, so natural her features fall into place.
Rage is a different beast entirely…
Can’t you just see her saying either “I’ll swallow your soul” (a la Evil Dead) or “I must break you.” (a la Dolph Lundgren in Rocky IV?).
And her laugh…. I need to capture her evil laugh on film.
I don’t think I’d want to be left in a room alone with all of them.
She has learned to hide this side, and while trick-or-treating last year had everyone fooled. You know, like a charming serial killer.
Her diabolical ploy worked: she had twice as much candy as her older brother.
You do not want to weaponize her. Trust me.
I have chills just thinking about it.
Lil D as the exorcist
I am predicting Lil D she just has the evil stare down. She should dress up as a little gremlin (NOT Gizmo)one of the ones that runs around and goes crazy in the city.
Love the story behind Just Pretend Kids.
Lil D. She should be the little girl from The Exorcist
I’m predicting Lil D wins the whole thing – she should be a Lil’ Vampire for Halloween :O) (ps. I am a fan on Facebook)
Bee will win. A great Halloween costume for her would be a vampire!
Lil D for sure. And she can go dressed up as anything she wants with that glare!
I am a Mommy Shorts FB fan.
I predict Lil D will win and she should be a She Devil for Halloween.
I dunno, I think it’s going to be pretty tight between Lil D and Kadence. Lyla has a good glare on, as does Sydney. I still think it will be Kadence. That one is causing nightmares for me.
Sidney- no face scrunch needed, it’s all in the eyes. And she should go as an angel ’cause she is one in real life.
I’m going with Kadence, mayyybe because I’m her mother. She’s look adorable in that Alexis Collection tutu, for when she turns back into Mr. Hyde 😉
Lil D! Professional wrestler costume?!
Lil D. She could go as the Sea Witch- tentacles might suit her well 😉
I am a fan of yours on Facebook! (Chantal & Fam… I really want that pig costume! Haha)
I think Lil D will win. How could she not with that face?! I have nightmares! She would make an excellent wicked step-sister for Halloween 😉
Who do you predict will win the glare-off and what should he/she go as for Halloween? I was so hoping it was the baby in the pink blankie…pure evil. But my vote in the finals went to Kadence and she could be Karl Rove. That is the scariest person I can think of….
Lil D; a zombie Snow White!
I think Kadence will win and she should go Trick or Treating as Lil D.
Kadence as a zombie waitress!
Kadence- with that Starbucks straw (or the look alike) she should be the Evil Boss, and get Mommy and Daddy to follow around with PDAs, extra coffees, several phones, and, of course, the candy bag (which she should snap when she needs).
The winner will be Lil D! She should totally go as a ghost to cover that glare and protect the innocent trick-or-treaters. 🙂
