In the spirit of October, this list will look at scary scenes, but not from the horror classics directed by Craven or Carpenter or even Hitchcock (I’m excluding him, though I argue most of his work isn’t exactly horror). These are from the films that aren’t really meant to scare you. At least, not at the visceral level that horror films do. These are the fifty definitive moments from non-horror films that still made an impact on the “frightening front.” From shocking to creepy to unsettlingly hair raising, these are moments that will stick in your mind long after watching the films, even if they are part of a very different narrative.

The third installment of the one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time is also one of the darkest children’s films ever made.

Louisa takes a look back at one of the more sinister entries in our Enchanted 80s season, the underappreciated Return To Oz...
If not an outright porky pie, then the DVD blurb on Disney's 1985 Return To Oz is, at the very least, misleading. "If you loved The Wizard Of Oz," it promises, "you'll love accompanying Dorothy on this second thrilling adventure."
A more fitting advert might be, 'If you loved Mulholland Drive, but thought it could do with less girl-on-girl action and more talking chickens, you'll love accompanying Dorothy through this scary ass mess of a film.' Not quite as pithy, perhaps, but a bit more honest.
A composite of the plots of L Frank Baum's Ozma Of Oz and The Magical Land Of Oz, Walter Murch's sole directorial effort is a very different beast from Fleming's 1939 original. The baddies are as scary, the heroine as determined,...

Marvel's line of L. Frank Baum adaptations will continue with a miniseries inspired by Ozma Of Oz. Written by Scottie Young and illustrated by Eric Shanower, the comic is based on the third novel in the series and ties in with the publisher's previous Oz releases. "This is the third year of us doing Oz together, and the big challenges are fewer and fewer," Young told Newsarama. "I'm used to the characters and their shapes now so it's much easier to move them around the way we need them. It's very odd (more)...
