21 Messed-Up Movie Moments That Fucked Up Your Childhood
Walt Disney was a sadist.
Coraline (2009)
"In the fucked-up movie Coraline, the Other Mother asks Coraline to stay with her forever – which is creepy on a whole other level. To do so, however, Coraline must let the Other Mother sew buttons over her eyes. When Coraline refuses the button deal, the Other Mother gets angry and we see her true form, which is a skeletal spider-like monstrosity. I had nightmares of this Other Mother for at least six months after originally seeing the movie."

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
"In The Wizard of Oz, when the witch starts burning to death and screams 'I'M MELTING!' I couldn't finish the movie as a child, and I still won't watch it. The entire movie gives me the heebie-jeebies."

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
"When E.T. is hiding amongst the toys. Terrifying. In fact, E.T. in general. The screaming, the long neck, when he goes all white and chalky and sick. But there was something about the camera panning over those toys and just seeing him there that made my blood run cold."
