10 Scariest Movies Made By Disney
9. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of Disney’s most innovative, creative movies of all time. It’s one of the best films to watch during the winter season as it is fitting to watch for both Halloween and Christmas.
With the combination of Tim Burton’s artistic vision, Danny Elfman’s musical genius and fantastic vocal performances, it is definitely within the realm of the horror movie genre, despite being geared towards children.
Just the imagery alone is harrowing enough as the film is abundant with skeletons, ghosts and eerie grins on each character. But there are also some very disturbing moments, right from the spooky opening number to Santa Claus being kidnapped and tortured. The freakiest part is when antagonist Ooogie Boogie comes apart at the seams and is revealed to be filled with maggots and other creepy crawlies.
Funny, musical, romantic, beautiful and terrifying - it's a festive film but with a twist.
