Scenes that used to scare you?

I was around 3 or 4 when I first this. I wasn't scared but did burst into tears when the Wicked Witch of the West told the monkey to drown Toto when Dorothy refused to give her the slippers.

The apple tree. Jump scare! I shot away from the tv like a rocket the first time I saw the scene where that thing started talking.

In the 70s this film was a yearly tradition and the tornado scared the crap out of me. I'd have to hide and be told the coast was clear from my family before I could enjoy the rest of the film. Of course now I can watch the tornado scene without being afraid but I have a fascination with it. It is such a well done scene and is still the most realistic and terrifying tornado scene ever filmed.

Mrs Gulch on her bicycle up in the tornado used to scare me. Now it just reminds me of Nancy Pelosi

Near the beginning of the film, when the twister was coming in the distance, blowing the door of the house off its frame, and hitting Dorothy in the head, knocking her out and giving her a concussion is what scared me the most.

The witch.

Anything with the witch.

(Of COURSE I am talking about Billie Burke here, Glinda the good witch, and not Margaret Hamilton, the unnamed bad one lol 😂)

I first saw the whole movie in 1984 when I was 9 and nothing at all was even remotely scary. The flying monkeys were small and the Wicked Witch of the West was just some woman in makeup whose bark was obviously worse than her bite.

However, I have a much earlier memory of seeing just the first part of The Wizard of Oz at my uncle's house when I was about 4, and the ghostly looking people doing ordinary things (like rowing a boat, knitting, riding a bike) while flying through the air in the middle of a tornado outside the window of a house that was also caught up in the tornado, was scary at the time, especially when the woman riding the bike transformed into a witch flying on a broom.
