Scenes from family films that terrified you as a child?

LOL, that's a good one. It had the same effect on me too, there was something really sinister about it. Off the top of my head though I can't think of any other family films that scared me.
 
Oh god i remember that scene well, i burst into tears and had to taken out of the cinema. it was when she opened her eyes and they were gold - just looking at that clip again still unnerves me after all these years
 
Two scenes in The Wizard of Oz:

1. During the tornado, Dorothy looks out of the window and sees Miss Gulch riding her bike. Miss Gulch gets swept up in the air and turns into the witch.

2. At the witch's castle, Dorothy looks into the crystal ball and sees Aunty Em crying. Suddenly she'd replaced by the witch, laughing, and the witch's face fills the whole screen.

Also the scene in 101 Dalmations (the original animation) when Cruella de Ville puts down the newspaper and you see her laughing evilly. Again, her face fills the whole screen.
 
Mine was also the Wizard of Oz, when the house fell down on the Wicked Witch of the East/West (can't remember which one), but all that was left of her was her red shoes and legs poking out from under the house - was petrified!
 
Clash of the Titans

When Zues transform Calibos into a titan.. I know u only see the statue, but it used to creep me out
And where Persues first goes to his marshes and Calibos sees his footprints

Also Calibos himself, and Medusa, and the three witches

I used to love it though!, Still do!, its one of the best mythical films, even now, :)
I'm dreading the remake :( (I seen what they did with Jason and the Argonauts.. the one with Jason or Jeremy London :eek:)
 
Quoted for truth, my blood just ran cold at the mere thought of this film. I mean watching bunny rabbits being torn to peices and crushed to death and having a scary ghost rabbit thing how on earth is that not supposed to scare kiRAB.
 
I go along with Miss Gulch/ The wicked witch from The Wizard of Oz ( and the flying monkeys )

... and that horrible Child-catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Most of all for me though, was the scene in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' ... when Scout and Jem were walking back through the trees ( Scout in the Ham costume )

The music ... the atmosphere ... the fact that they were kiRAB like me ... all went towarRAB making that scene the first ever that totally captivated ( and scared ) me
 
Me too. Definitely the flying monkeys.

I'm trying to think of an original idea here. I suppose the witch in Snow White scared me when I was really young, also the witch/wicked stepmother Sleeping Beauty. I seemed to see a lot of Disney films when I was kid...
 
I still can't watch that first clip.

The witch from Snow White was pretty horrific when I was little.

Anything with a clown scares me, even happy kiRAB films
 
The whole of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory freaks me out.. especially when they go through a tunnel on a boat or something? and every scene with an oompa loompa, especially when they sing. horrible little men!

Glad I'm not the only one who was scared of the wizard of oz! don't even like to watch it now.

Also E.T scares me. especially when he was ill and covered in white? I dont remember why, I've never watched it again.
 
Watership Down. The whole film. It horrifies me.
I cannot listen to "Bright Eyes" without feeling physically sick. I do not jest. The hairs on the back of my neck are standing on end as I write this....:eek::o
