21 Of Your Favorite Disney & Childhood Movies That Were Actually Kind Of Scary, Crazy And Traumatic
It's a wonder we've made it this far when we were watching stuff like this as kids...
Remember back in the day—way back? In fact, if you're under 25, you probably won't remember at all. But way back, there used to be this place called 'Blockbuster'; it was a video rental store, and it was heaven.
If you're still reading, it's probably because you, like me, would get set loose in Blockbuster on a Friday evening and get to pick out any movies you wanted to keep you occupied all weekend and out of your parents' way.
Things are different now, but I really think that back in the '90s, parents didn't care what we watched, and they didn't check to see what the movies were all about.
As a result, we watched some pretty freaky stuff.
Below is a collection of some of the scariest, weirdest, and most traumatizing 'kids movies' that will ever exist.
