Below is my list of 10 children's movies that are terrifying and wonderful.
- Return to OZ
- You can't tell me that the Wheelers aren't nightmare fuel. Or the head exchange. I don't think I had ever been so thankful for chickens, than in that movie.
- Alice in Wonderland (1985)
- All monsters were the Jabberwocky in my youth. It was a manifestation of fear and could get you at any time.
- Willow
- Bavmorta. She was creepy, but then again she was supposed to be. Weird side note, the Actress that played Bavmorta was also in Return to Oz.
- Legend
- Tim Curry when I was a child, because I thought that was what the devil really did look like. I watched this not too long ago, and the thing that creeped me out the most as an adult is Tom Cruises smile.
- Secret of Nimh
- Animal experimentation and extermination. Rats and owls. Loved the movie, and it always hits me as and awesome adventure, but the fear for the characters was real every time.
- Labyrinth
- Goblin King. This is a much loved classic for many people. I missed it as a child and just found it creepy as an adult. Babies. Goblins and a whole lot of puppets.
- Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
- Theres now earthly way of knowing... which direction we are going...
- The Peanut Butter Solution
- I don't even know where to start on this on. The amount of weirdness and why is peanut butter the solution. The hair and the paintings were surreal.
- Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure
- I love this movie, but when they are in the candy pit, it is a little psychedelic and trippy.
- The Adventures of Young Sherlock Holmes
- Ritualistic sacrifice- Need I say more? This is a family adventure that is actually pretty tame, but probably geared for a little older audience than I was, when I saw it the first time. I loved it, but ritualistic sacrifice still gives me the creeps.
What movies did you watch when you were a kid, that looking back now makes you scratch you head and wonder?
