10 Creepiest Scary Moments In Kid-Friendly Movies

10. The Tarantulas - Something Wicked This Way Comes

Not so much. There are plenty of things to frighten a child in this movie: the carousel, the dust witch, the funeral march, and the list goes on.

The most intense scene for young ones, however, might be the one where two young boys are surrounded by an army of tarantulas on the windows, walls, floor, and even the doorknob (as one boy finds out too late).

This sequence by itself makes Arachnophobia look like amateur hour.
