Time to finally adress this, which is the most misused category on this wiki. I have completely rewritten the category description, which was a huge mess, and will now need help in removing everything that doesn't belong there.

just want to point out the "no serial killers in media focused on kids" is wrong - we have the famous family-movie Up, which had a serial-killer as the main antagonist.

The Other Mother from Coraline is also a serial killer from a "family" movie....right?

I never thought of her that way, more as a bogeywoman but... I meant she -does- kill a specific type of person, repeatedly, mostly out of compulsion. We discounted demons and such unless they are killers regardless of their species, as in they do not kill out of instinct or need but rather intent and no one said Other Mother needed to kill kids, she just needs their love so I think that one sounds clear. The biggest hic-up is the species restriction, and if she has to kill them or she would do so under her own agency.

Demons and the like were accepted as long as they possess human-like intelligence, and the Beldam certainly does. So yes, she kills based on specific patterns and has cooling off periods, so she would be a serial killer.
So does Pennywise count as a serial killer since he specifically kills children and has done so multiple times?
Coraline is PG, so yea it's a family movie.
