You know... I never thought about it but it's possible that my inability to actually properly discard something (ie- Not "I'll leave it in the garage and hope it goes away") might stem from that blasted movie...

The Wizard of Oz in one sentence: A little girl travels to a far off fantasy land where she kills the first person she meets then teams up with three strange men to kill again all in a misguided attempt to go home.

just because it has rabbits killing each other in a warren or being eaten by dogs or killed in snares (which does actually happen), doesn't mean it's NOT for kids. I think the current reaction to it is the shift in opinions on what's okay for kids to watch. And yeah, it was a little horrifying for me as a child, but…

That several of these are actually intentionally scary was my first thought, as well. "The Witches," "The Never-Ending Story," and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" were all intentionally scary books, I believe, so it fits that their adaptations were, as well.
