G-Rated Films that scared us s***less.

[zHellas]

Was the Neverending Story rated G? Because the Gmork freaked me right the fuck out.

And those 2 giant statues that shoot lasers at you if you try to pass.

Fucking terrifying.

 

[irani_che]

anyone else know the episode of scooby doo with puppets?
I Watched this when i was 10 and had nightmares for a month. then a while back i downloaded the original scooby doos for my little sis and re-watched it, still scarig the shit out of me

 

[Throwitawaynow]

I know it wasn't G rated but the The Ring scared the hell out of me. See how that doesn't work?

Original Land Before Time.

 

[Voodoomancer]

Was Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory G rated? Because this scene freaked the HELL out of me.

...the fack? That's acidically freaky...

 

[bam13302]

Watership Down for example. Never heard of that one.

Here's the trailer

I'll just go and scrub my mind free now...

GAH, thats fed up, i hate u for bringing that into my mind

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

Was Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory G rated? Because this scene freaked the HELL out of me.

WTF?! How does a scary as shit tunnel relate to making candy at all? Who's fucking idea was it to put a scary tunnel in a candy factory? Loved the movie except for the 30 seconds of Scarry as Hell Tunnel. Seriously WTF?

Me too.

That movie scarred me like you wouldn't believe. My main fear when I was a little sprout was already werewolves, so seeing this fucking thing on screen - in a kids movie no less - was traumatizing as hell. I was always fearfull that the bastard was hiding under my bed, waiting for me to carelessly reveal a limb that he could grab to pull me under.

I also used to be scared of the Great Owl in The Secret of NIMH, but that was when I was like 5 years old.

Watership Down

WHY THE FUCK IS THAT FILM U RATED!?

 

[moretimethansense]

I still don't understand what kind of a tool would ever think Watership Down, as book or movie, is meant for children. Sure it features bunnies but it's an allegory for a fascist state with genocide, bunnies suffocating in a sealed burrow and death galore.

I also remember this animated series about an animal odyssey to a new place when their forest gets chopped down. Farthing Wood, was it? On the one hand, they all talk and work together. On the other, some of them are carnivores. I still remember a scene where a field mouse sees his dead comrade penetrated on a thorn like a paper on a spike.
I know shrykes actually do that, but really, was that necessary to show?! Bambi is very sensitive next to this.

It was actually written for the author's young childeren, surly that counts as child abuse?

Yeah, I remember that too. That was the butcher bird scene, right?

That show was pretty much trying to ride Watership Down's coattail.

Can't sleep. Clown will eat me.

I actually still use the quote on occasion.

 

[Ocelano]

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves...

CREEPY

The irony of calling a single woman living with seven men "snow white" is just laughable

Wait, what's ironic about it? She lives with them for like a day.

Not the version I heard as a kid. in that one she lived with them for a considerable team taking over various house duties the rest of my comment can be drawn from a slightly deviant imagination about what such duties may entail of course the disney version may have tried to sidestep that part

 

[Eleuthera]

One more for The Neverending Story it took years to get over that.

And I vaguely remember seeing some stop motion Sindbad (or possibly the Odyssey) movie as a kid that had me stay awake for a week as well, though that might not have been G.

 

[Marter]

Was Coraline rated G? If so, I think that would count.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Fuckin Skeksis.....

Jim Henson, you owe me many nights sleep.

It makes sense when you look at the subtext to the movie/book.

Wonka was a sinister character, leading then kids into temptation and punishing them for following it... some would go as far to say he was a metaphor for the devil.

Others believe Wonka is God, testing the kids with the sins (Sloth, Greed, Etc) before choosing who gets to go to 'heaven'.

 

[mickelboy182]

The child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. So many nightmares arose from that, terrifying stuff.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

The Last Unicorn's talking skeleton was a bit scary when I saw the movie more than 20 years ago. The evil book (or whatever it was) in the Care Bears movie was similar. I don't recall if the Pee-Wee Herman movie was G or not but Large Marge haunted my nightmares for awhile.

 

[Dexiro]

I still remember a scene where a field mouse sees his dead comrade penetrated on a thorn like a paper on a spike.

I can't say I've ever seen that film but I'm sure I remember that scene. I just remember having an image stuck in my mind very similar to that when I was a kid and it bothered the hell out of me, but I never knew where I got it from.
