De bootride scènes uit Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) is een klassiek voorbeeld van hoe een kinderfilm veranderd in pure horror, en dat is niet de enige. Daarom heeft de website Fearnet.com nu een top tien van film scènes uit kinderfilms gemaakt die gewoon te bizar voor woorden zijn.

The Dark Crystal

There were two superbly puppet-savvy movies released in 1982. Spielberg's E.T. has a few scary scenes, but The Dark Crystal - puppeteered by Jim Henson and Frank Oz - was darker than dark. The ring of the Skeksis's shrieking cry is a sound you'll never forget. The vulture-like creatures have a major beef with the elfin Gelflings, but need their "life essence" to stay young. Most of the Gelflings have been wiped off the planet, so the Skeksis have been forced to live off of the forest-dwelling Podlings. The tiny pod people are kept as slaves, tortured, and drained by the vampiric monsters. Not even a dancing frog or a sassy pig can remove the scars that The Dark Crystal inflicted upon young eyeballs.
