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

8. The Wizard Of Oz

"I'm frightened, Auntie Em! I'm frightened!" Bloody hell, Dorothy, so are we. The Wizard Of Oz remains classic Sunday viewing to this day, despite the fact it lay down heavy phobias of flying monkeys and tornados on generations of people. It's pretty clear that children were meant to be a little spooked by the Wicked Witch; but let's be fair, she isn't the monster in this movie. After all, you can kill her with a bit of water... all you'd need is a super-soaker and you're winning. No - we're introduced to the real frenzied cycling monster that is Miss Gulch at the very start of the horror, and she's not just a bit of a meanie. This absolutely awful woman wants to do the thing the worst thing imaginable for a child: she wants to kill Dorothy's dog. Lions and tigers and bears are the least of your worries when you're dealing with chilling little Munchkins, trees that freaking grab you and weird ass men behind a curtain claiming they're wizards.And don't get us started on Return To Oz.
