13 Family Films That Will Terrify Children
1. The Witches
Scariest Moment: The final reveal of the Grand High Witch- this alone will give kids nightmares, let alone what she does next!
Roald Dahl's books are already terrifying, but it seems the filmmakers behind The Witches set out to make it even more scarring for children.
Combining the work of an author known for tales that focus on the darker side of life that scare and amuse children in equal parts, with director Nicholas Roeg - a filmmaker with a back catalog of disturbing, disorienting films like The Man Who Fell To Earth and Don't Look Now - was always going to result in something horrific.
Full of frightening imagery, this is going to be an intense film for children of all ages, but a wicked treat as well- one of the best Roald Dahl film adaptations to date, watching any of the other films on this list will more than prepare your family for everything that The Witches throws at you.
