start digging around in that closet of
deeply repressed childhood fears welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for another top
10 creepy kids movies only a dream for
this list we’re taking a look at another
10 children’s films that turned out to
be slightly scary a little disturbing or
just altogether creepy oh my god oh my
god
number 10 the watcher in the woods I
think this house will be exactly right
for you strange things start to happen
when a family moves into an Old English
manor you could slap that synopsis onto
a lot of movies from the 80s but this
one takes the creepy cake
young Jan witnesses eerie lights and
over here scary stories about a girl who
disappeared in the area 30 years ago
they searched the ruins but there was no
sign of Kevin it doesn’t help that a 72
year old Betty Davis is creepily
watching her from behind bushes and
trees a haunting atmosphere and dark
subject matter make this Disney movie a
little scary for young kids
Karen Elwood you’ve been brought to this
place to prove yourself worthy of our
secret society number 9 the Garbage Pail
Kids movie hey got any ID on there let’s
see one of those rare films with the
coveted 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes the
Garbage Pail Kids movie was tailored
seemingly to no demographic why should
we do something nice let’s quit now
that’s my advice
lacking any real synopsis the film seems
to be about how disgusting prosthetics
and fake vomit can actually be there
isn’t really any comedy and too many
people seem to get killed to make this a
family-friendly film its toe tap the
result is a highly disturbing mess of a
movie that you would never show to a
child nor or anyone else for that matter
number eight the Black Cauldron the
Black Cauldron an awesome weapon
Tyron it’s been hidden for centuries a
cadaverous wizard who could put Skeletor
to shame a Black Cauldron that can
revive the dead and create an evil army
that was like pretty normal stuff for
kids back in the 80s eerie atmospheric
animation and high tension string music
really get the heart pumping regardless
of your age
the movie is a tolkien-esque adventure
but with gothic elements and subject
matter that might not be for kids Turin
how slowly Franz don’t–all cos war
fronts gurgi no don’t jump but this was
the 80s so no one paid attention too
closely to what kids were watching we
guess
number seven Ernest scared stupid yeah I
call thee forth Trent or but what are
the chances of that happen for those of
us who grew up watching Ernest get into
all kinds of crazy trouble
this movie was one of our favorites in
retrospect a 40 year old man inviting a
group of kids up to his tree house all
alone should have been creepy enough
this is a tree to die for but Ernest
does it again when he awakens an ancient
curse that allows trolls to run rampant
around town
three starboard or a combination of
great prosthetic s– animatronics and
buckets full of gross goo make this
movie just creepy enough for kids to
enjoy and not be severely traumatized Oh
Snuffy’s it’s just you number six
hocus-pocus look another glorious
morning makes me sick
it’s Halloween in Salem and you know
what that means three wacky witches are
brought back to life by an ancient spell
and start to wreak havoc on a town that
really should have expected something
like this legend says that on a full
moon it will raise spirits of the dead
when left by a virgin on Halloween night
while the movie is charming enough there
are a few creepy things that may not be
suitable for all audiences like a boy
transformed into a cat for all eternity
just or capital punishment involving
witches or a cursed zombie tearing
stitches out of his lip or bette midler
scary I
and now you’re my number five the
monster squad pick up our friend
which is on time Dracula’s moving in and
he’s brought some friends in this ROM a
group of young misfits must fight an
ancient evil that has infested their
town two ways to kill a werewolf silver
bullet and that’s it shoot him with a
silver bullet the wolf man Gil man and
even Frankenstein himself show up to
flip tables chase teenagers and just
generally cause havoc if they do not
cooperate kill them if you’re a kid and
you haven’t experienced the Hammer
horror films or Universal monster movies
then Monster Squad can be a lot to
handle in one sitting the costumes and
makeup are terrifying to behold for a
kid who hasn’t gotten used to those
classic b-movie Horrors but it is a
great modern take on some old classics
killing people and if it’s monsters
nobody’s gonna do a thing about it foot
off number four The Nightmare Before
Christmas may be one of the most
terrifying things conceived for the
enjoyment of children this Tim Burton
movie caused all kinds of nightmares and
changed a lot of kids reactions to
Halloween and Christmas with lives on
the line not mine of course but yours oh
boy an actual skeleton plots to become
the next Santa Claus and delights in
delivering presents that are as
disgusting as they are deadly
soon he realizes the true meaning of the
holidays and returns to his Halloween
land and young children everywhere are
left almost too traumatized to cry
forgive me mr. Claus
I’m afraid I’ve made a terrible mess of
your holiday B sleigh ride Jack
traumatized in an endearing way of
course Oh his play as anyone can see
this in
number three Monster House
ever wonder what would happen if a
creepy old house came to life and
started attacking people no ridiculous
you say well monster house explores this
hackneyed premise with all the relish of
a vindictive parents in a gorilla
costume on Halloween night we’re dead
you killed us an hour – the film makes
appropriate use of the same motion
capture technology that freaked everyone
out in the Polar Express I’ve I’ve
always done what’s best for you haven’t
I and adds in a few classic Halloween
scares to create a creepy atmosphere
that is sure to unsettle number two
little monsters who keep an eye out for
monsters grown men and crazy costumes
live under children’s beds and try to
convert them into monsters like
themselves Oh brilliant Bry just
brilliant you must be in wanted witch
great – six Oh so went the studio pitch
that eventually got this nightmare to
the big screen Ryan is being blamed for
all kinds of shenanigans around his
house that he swears he did not do dead
mister hey I didn’t do anything
Howie Mandel dressed much like a stage
version of Sully from monsters ink shows
up to take the blame
great right now nobody’s gonna recognize
he befriends Brian and things go pretty
smoothly until the monsters kidnap
Brian’s brother but that’s a long story
Oh kind of story
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions I can’t make
this kind of pressure
I must confess one more dusty road would
be just a road to halt
I hope you don’t mind me dropping hidden
like this number one Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory nobody ever goes here
nobody ever comes out if some of your
greatest childhood fears included
drowning in a river of chocolate or
expanding into a giant monstrous
blueberry violet you’re turning violet
violet and you probably watched this
terrifying gem the movie appears to tell
the story of an eccentric candy maker
who gives a tour of his magical factory
to happy children welcome my friends
welcome to my Chocolate Factory
past the midway point viewers are privy
to several cases of suspected child
murder she was a bad egg throw in some
orange dwarves who don’t bat an eyelid
when a kid is literally dropped into a
furnace mr. Wonka they won’t really be
burned in the fruits were they hmm and a
boat ride that looks like it came
straight out of a 60s bad trip and
you’ve got yourself a movie that the
whole family can enjoy you guys you’re
