    the 80s had its own flavor of pretty dark ‘kids’ movies-this one, dark crystal, secret of nimh, neverending story, etc. even the transformers movie had millions of kids’ favorite characters get slaughtered in the first few minutes, and then optimus prime too–all so they could sell us a batch of brand new toys of the replacement characters. i loved every minute

    This fucking movie. My parents had to leave the cinema with me because it was too scary as a kid.

    A witch switching heads with cupboards full of sleeping and waking heads? Yeah. Then those Rollerskate drivers turning to sand. And the helpful clockwork robot but he could stop at any time and needed to be wound up?

    Stuff of nightmares.

    Interestingly the insanity ward stuff did not bother me. Still have major respect for the movie now and love the Oz stuff.

    Yay, where Fairuza learned to be so fantasticslly witchy!

    This, The Black Cauldron, and Krull were probably my favorite three movies until the 2000s
