Disturbing kid movies


What's the freakiest kids movie you've seen? I can remember being freaked out by some of the dream sequences in the Brave Little Toaster, but the villain in Beethoven was really disturbing, especially with the whole stealing/killing dogs thing.

RETURN TO OZ. omg.

For me it's a hands down, no brainer. ET.

I saw the Exorcist when I was about 5 or 6, that was good times.
The Dark Crystal, Firestarter, Wizard of Oz and Sybil were my favourite movies.
Gremlins were cute.
Legend was weird but, I loved it.

But for some reason, ET scared the living daylights out of me. The only movie in history to ever give me night terrors. I can still feel the trauma when I remember the nightmares.

To this day it is still one of the very few things that creep me out. But, I embrace the creep factor and found two 1 foot tall ceramic ET's at a garage sale and had to bring them home. :)

Amazed no one mentioned All Dogs Go To Heaven! That movie is borderline traumatizing! It has murder and depictions of hell.

Beethoven freaked me out with the creepy vet trying to kill him. But it didn't really scare me.

E.T also scared the *beep* out of me lol. I did not find him cute at all. And my brother had a stuffed E.T he loved to torture me with......Now as an adult I think E.T is cute.......go figure.

Casper always scared me. Not so much the entire movie. Just when his uncles made their "scary faces" I would run out of the room until that scene was over.

The monster in Ferngully freaked me out. I used to have nightmares about him lol.

The nightmare scenes for Brave Little Toaster would also get me running out of the room lol.

The abusive mob guy boyfriend from "Rover Dangerfield" also creeped me out.

I also remember "Pagemaster" scaring the crap out of me. And the scene with the gas at the begining of "Once Upon A Forest" really scared me.

I was obviously a giant chicken lol

I remember being 3 or 4 or 5 and seeing "All Dogs Go to Heaven" and being very traumatized. I got out of bed and cried on my mom's lap about it. I'm nearly 30 now but I don't think I'd want to watch the whole thing again.

It's a kids movie, I didn't find it scary at all or any childs movie for that matter.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned either Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

The Lion King - something about it creeps me out :/

RED AND BLACK, BEAR ATTACK

Dot and the Kangaroo. I'd call that whole movie boring now, but the bunyip scene was terrifying when I was six.

ET. A strange creature living under a kid's bed? The ultimate nightmare fuel. I didn't care if he only ate Reese's Pieces, it was still creepy.

Snow White & the Seven Dwarves. The creepy forest, especially.

Beauty and the Beast also terrified me $hitless.

They call me the wanderer.

I was always creeped out by Once Upon a Forest growing up. The scene with the glass in the road and the big truck crashing causing the poisonous gas to leak out through the woods, killing everything.

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure overall has a disturbing feel to it. The clown dreams with Satan, Large Marge, the laughing clown when his bike is stolen, the score, the escaped convict, etc.

The NeverEnding Story II was partly disturbing for me. Some of the odd characters like the half-man half-chicken, Nimbly and the way he talks. He kinda now reminds me of a pedophile. And the people of Silver City in Fantasia mindlessly doing this weird, ritual/occult type of dance, including the way they looked and dressed.

"All dogs go to heaven."
Not that it's scary but the whole death theme is slightly disturbing as a child. Still makes me uncomfortable as an adult.

The Secret Of Nimh and Watership Down. The scene with the Mouse Of Minsk in An American Tail used to scare me too!.

reply

I agree with All dogs go to heaven. At 30 yeah death doesn't disturb me or scare me this point. Just a way of life.

But as a kid it did freak me out a lot when seeing the film.

When it comes to creepy kids' movies, I think Beetlejuice really takes the cake! Despite the PG-13 rating being created in 1984, Beetlejuice (1988) somehow snuck by with a PG.

Some other disturbing kids' movies are:
-Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland
-The Pagemaster
-The Witches
-The Black Cauldron
-The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
-The Princess and the Goblin

It didn't freak me out, the end was a little scary to me as a kid but everything worked out in the end so I was fine. The only movie that gave me nightmares as a kid was Pinocchio
