Seriously, how is this a kids movie?
The Big Picture When it comes to kid-appropriate horror films, many may turn to Coraline as the blueprint, or perhaps Monster House. And both are great options for kid-friendly spooky films, but there’s one that outshines them all. 1990’s The Witches is by far one of the most unsettling and horrifying kid’s films. The book, which was written by Roald Dahl, is also targeted toward children, and it honestly might be even more frightening than the film despite the lack of visuals.
What Is ‘The Witches’ About? The Witches follows a young boy named Luke and his grandmother Helga . Helga warns Luke of witches, who are female demons that despise children, and intend to destroy and/or transform them. She describes witches as having claws instead of fingernails which they hide by wearing gloves, bald heads which they cover by wearing wigs, square feet with no toes, and purple eyes. Not to mention an innate sense of smell to sniff out children.
But while they certainly look gross, it's the Grand High Witch's reveal that really does us in. While removing her wig, she also peels off her face, revealing her true appearance. What we see is mottled, bony, burnt-looking, almost gray in color skin. Her skin is so thin that her shoulders and collarbones jut out grossly, and it looks like it could melt right off of her bones at any moment.
