10 Movie Moments That Terrified You As A Kid (But Are Laughable Now)

8. Princess Mombi's Severed Head - Return To Oz

Return To Oz is another film that seems to exist solely for the purpose of damaging a child's psyche. With Dorothy returning to Oz after a lengthy period of time and finding it in ruins with most of her friends imprisoned, Return To Oz has a plethora of questionably terrifying moments to choose from. One of those is when the evil Princess Mombi just up and takes her head off. For a child, watching a woman remove her own head is incomprehensible. Today, adult logic teaches you that this is actually a move that makes Mombi extremely vulnerable to attack. If this really happened, you could just kick her in the face, and then she's pretty useless. Also, anybody rockin' that hairstyle is harmless. Completely harmless.
