I got so creeped out at Labyrinth when I first saw it I had a dream that David Bowie’s character had turned me into an evil queen! 😮 lol

Thanks! Yes you’re right, it had a quiet sound which actually contributed to the overall scariness. I only recently saw Labyrinth for the first time, it didn’t scare me but I imagine it would have if I saw it as a kid.

That No Face in Spirited away was pretty scary, even that weird sound it made, a sort of quiet “uh”. I weirdly loved films that felt a bit creepy. I definitely agree with Return to Oz, that one was just so good but creepy and a touch scary. I have to say that I felt a bit creeped out by Labyrinth when I was growing up too. 🙂

Thanks! It is pretty scary but somehow irresistible.

Return to Oz is definitely the top one for me – Deadly Desert, screaming disembodied heads, plenty of nightmare fuel!

I find Spirited Away scary still, as an adult 😉 I love the the original Witches film, I watched it a lot even though it scared me. I haven’t seen the new one, I’m always wary of remakes (The Secret Garden is another of these, the 90s film is one of my favourites). Not eager to see it but if it appears on Netflix any time I’ll give it a go.

Thanks! Fantasia is one of my favourites! The first classical music CD I bought was the Fantasia soundtrack. I think that music, or at least sound effects, has a big role in whether something is scary or not.

Wonderfully weird and spooky! Such evocative music. One of my guys was terribly frightened by a children’s production of Peter and the Wolf, but more than the wolf, I think it was the music (really scary strings) that set him off. Good list!

Have you checked out the new reboot with Anne Hathaway? 😛
