10 Movies That Scarred Us As Kids

10 Movies That Scarred Us As Kids

Horror movies epitomize fear. From the blood lust, gruesome dismemberment and the bone chilling screams, not one person leaves a horror movie without jumping a little bit. But the scariest genre of movies is actually…

Kids Films…

Yeah, you heard me, kids films. writers in kids films can put so many secret little things in there without the little ones ever noticing. All the sexual innuendos and imagery as well as all the dark humor has become a constant in these films. But some films go one step further and just straight up say, “hey, lets just destroy childhoods with this film!! Woohoo!!” No, not woohoo!! Now, what movies could these be? I’m sure you have a few ideas in your head, but here are my top 10 Most scarred for life films:

10: FOX AND THE HOUND

Now I know that this movie ends on a happy note, but you can’t deny the shear horror you felt when you watched Copper chasing Tod. They played hide and seek together man… HIDE AND SEEK!!!!

9: PINOCHIO

Lampwick’s slow transformation into a donkey is truly horrifying. The image of him clawing at Pinocchio with his hoofs is etched in my brain. Oh, and you also get to watch his hands contort into hooves. It’s just super.

8: WIZARD OF OZ

It may not be horrify to use because of the fact that we have super high quality movie making now, but in its hay day the wizard of OZ was freaky. Those flying monkeys and the melting scene? Nightmares.

7: THE HUNCKBACK OF NOTRE DAME

The story of the hunchback is freaky by itself, but Disney kicks it up a notch with the priest, Frollo, singing about his lust for a gypsy with a faceless choir from hail flanking him from both sides. Say what you want about Disney, but they really kick it up a notch with the imagery.

6: RETURN TO OZ

Some of you may know this movie and if you want to watch a disturbing movie, watch this. The sequel to wizard of OZ just said “whatever” and put in a room of face’s on stands and when Dorothy grabs a bottle they all start screaming in high pitched voices, AND a headless body tries to capture her in the same room. Yaaayyyy Disney…

5: WHERE THE RED FERNS GROWS

Don’t ever show this movie to a dog. Or your family. Or yourself. You will slowly die inside.

4: THE IRON GIANT

One of the best movie’s I have ever seen had every single kid who watched screaming at the tv watching the giant fly into the sky to his impending doom. You watch the loveable giant just blow up… Vin Diesel is 2 for 2 with destroying hearts without saying more than 3 words.

3: BAMBI

I swear, Disneyland may be the happiest place on earth, but their movies are far from happy. They just love killing parents and basically any character. Jeez, I would hate to be one of their film tester’s. You get all those uncut death scenes, like Finding Nemo, where the sharks catch Dori. She stopped swimming in that version… You all just gasped out loud I know it, don’t deny it!!!!

2: ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN

There’s a lot in this movie that is just mind numbingly horrible. From the start of the movie where Charlie is run over by a dog, the dream of hell and the hell hound and then Charlie dying AGAIN!!! WHY DON BLUTH?!?!?! WHY?!?!

AND FINALLY THE NUMBER ONE MOVIE IS…

 

1: THE LAND BEFORE TIME

This movie was also directed by Don Bluth and to put it lightly… he destroyed childhoods. Poor Littlefoot just wanted his mom, but Don Bluth had different plans. He wanted to make the whole world feel like Littlefoot. And he succeeded. “Littlefoot, listen to your heart. It whispers. So listen closely.” Oh we aaaaaalllllll listened don Bluth. And now when I go to the museum, I get choked up at the coolest part.

 

Well that’s my list everybody. I hope you enjoyed what you saw and if I missed some movies, feel free to put them in the comments below. Until next time Mustangs.

“Listen to your heart Littlefoot” he says. Ya more like listen to your breaking heart…
