Top 5 most disturbing children’s movies of the 80’s

5. Raggedy Ann and Andy

Along with the enormous, easily angered mass of self-consuming greed, Raggedy Ann and Andy also featured such child-friendly characters as Sir Leonard Looney, the deranged knight who comes off as a murderously flamboyant vaudevillian dog-hybrid on crystal meth.

 

4. Cloak and Dagger

A young boy’s failure to cope with a dead mother and a negligent father has led to hallucinatory psychosis. Now he is being hunted by murderers. It’s Hitchcock for kids!

3. Never Ending Story

Artax. Swamp of Sadness. Let’s not relive it.

But here it is:

 

2. Labyrinth

Being chased through a maze of infinite staircases by an omnipresent David Bowie in tights? Nightmare. Add Jim Henson? Kid’s movie.

1. The Dark Crystal

Seriously, did Henson secretly hate kids? Why was I even allowed to watch this?

agreed, agreed. but what about “the peanut butter solution”? psychotic kidnapping canadians who turn kids into paintbrush-making machines, backed by a soundtrack from celine dion???

yeah,”The Peanut Butter Solution” deserves a spot on this list for sure.
My kids made it thru about 2 seconds of Bowie in Labyrinth before crying “turn it off, she’s scary!”.

Find out how a ‘story sack’ can make reading with your child so much more fun!
All children love reading books; predicting the next part, imitating the character’s voices and joining in the parts that they know well. We all know that reading is a vital part of a child’s development and engaging children in books from a young age goes a long way towards making them into lifelong readers.
Story sacks are a fabulous way to encourage role play, enabling language development and enriching a child’s experience of the written word. To find out more please visit http://jonnierocket.com/index.php/parents/early-reading

We love jokes, but who still reads jokes? A joke isn't a joke until it's told, which is why we started Comic Wonder, a competitive arena for joke-tellers - the first forum where people can perform, rate and share audio jokes. Our mission is to scour the earth looking for the best joke-teller in the world and declare that person the Comic Wonder of the Year!
