10 Creepiest Scary Moments In Kid-Friendly Movies
1. Large Marge - Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
It is the stuff of legends now. The big-screen debut of Pee-Wee Herman was a no-brainer, given his television popularity. His juvenile set design and sense of humor were well known and appreciated. But no one was prepared for a little surprise that new director Tim Burton had in store for audiences...
A simple ride for Pee-Wee from trucker Large Marge turns into an old urban legend of a highway accident. Marge tells the story in slow, loping tones, and as she gets to the crucial moment in the story revealing the fate of the driver, her face contorts into a claymation nightmare monstrosity that caught every viewer off-guard, unprepared for a moment of visceral fright in a candy-colored comedy based on a Saturday morning children's series.
The moment became notorious, the most remembered element of an excellent movie, and it kick-started the career of one of cinema's modern macabre masters.
