10 Movies That Terrify You (But Definitely Shouldn't)

10. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

You may recall a few magic moments from this classic Roald Dahl adaptation: the chocolate river; the lickable wallpaper; the three-course meal in a stick of bubble gum... but you know what we remember? We remember the casual ratification of four children's deaths by an intensely manic candy maker. We remember Augustus Gloop near-drowning in chocolate before being jammed in an extraction pipe leading to a fudge boiler to be boiled alive; Violet inflating to the point of her inside's exploding; Veruca Salt falling into a furnace and Mike TV being shredded into a million different pieces. All the while, Wonka is just like "moving swiftly on..." while the Oompa Loompas sing a song about it. From the creepy guy pushing a cart full of machetes at the beginning of the movie, to the harrowing acid trip of a boatride: Willy Wonka is a gravely unnerving ordeal from start to finish.
