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

7. Anjelica Huston's Witch Face - The Witches

Beginning to see a theme in this list? Kids' movies used to be really twisted. The world has gone soft. The Witches is yet another film starring villains who specifically aim to destroy children. These witches walked around underneath facades that make them appear to be attractive ladies, but when they remove their disguises, they are actually a distressing mix between Gollum from The Lord Of The Rings and Dobby from Harry Potter. As a kid, that lady you see up there was everything that was wrong in the world - she wanted to kill you and she had the drippy skin and fingernail daggers to do it. Anjelica Huston is intimidating to begin with - Anjelica Huston peeling off her own face to reveal that thing up there? Too much to handle. Too much. Take a look at her now. She actually kind of looks like a lot of old ladies trolling the street. Don't you sort of want to take her to go play some slots or grab a Dirty Martini? She's got stories, man.
