To be sure, there are a bunch of super unsettling early Walt Disney animated shorts (if you like this list, maybe we’ll go into more depth), but there’s always been something particularly eerie about “The Skeleton Dance.” Directed and produced by Walt, animated by Walt’s right-hand man Ub Iwerks and featuring music from Carl Stalling, “The Skeleton...
While post people point to a single sequence in Pinocchiofor its intensity and creepiness, there’s an argument that can be made for the entire movie being disquieting and unnerving. The sequence in question, in which Lampwick, a nogoodnik Pinocchio befriends on the way to Pleasure Island, is transformed into a donkey, is definitely one of the most ...
If there’s one segment of Fantasia, Walt’s ahead-of-its-time musical experiment, that is seared onto the viewer’s brains, it’s the “Night on Bald Mountain” segment. The second-to-last installment in the wordless anthology (right after it comes “Ava Maria” as a kind of repose), “Night on Bald Mountain” is based on a moody piece of music by Russian c...
One half of this “package film,” in which multiple shorter stories are combined, is dedicated to “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” Washington Irving’s immortal campfire tale. And while there are definitely lighter elements to the half of the movie, particularly Bing Crosby’s bouncy, happy-hour narration, it’s also scary as heck. The demonic Headless H...
From early on in Escape to Witch Mountain, something seems to be amiss. Almost the first images you see are the silhouette of two children being chased by dangerous-looking dogs. And that WTF tone is consistently delivered through the rest of the running time. Awkwardly positioned as one of the feel-good live-action Disney movies of the time, with ...
Considering Anthony Perkins traumatized an entire generation of moviegoers with his role as murderous mama’s boy Norman Bates in Psycho, it’s only fitting that he’d scar an entirely new generation by being violently killed by a soulless, blood red robot in Disney’s The Black Hole. The Black Hole was placed into development before Star Wars (another...
This movie is truly insane. Producer Tom Leetch, who had been around the studio for years, brought the project to then head-of-production (and Walt Disney’s son-in-law) Ron Miller saying, “This could be our Exorcist.” Just so you know where this movie is coming from. The Watcher in the Woods (based on a novel by Florence Engel Randall) feels like a...
On one hand, it’s unclear why Disney would agree to co-produce Dragonslayer, part of a two-film agreement they made with Paramount (the other movie was the infamous live-action Popeye) – it’s scary, violent, and maybe even more damnably features sequences with virgins and partial nudity (there’s bare breasts! In a PG-rated Disney co-production!) Bu...
One of Disney’s most underrated gems from the post-Walt, pre-Eisner era. Something Wicked This Way Comes, from a story and screenplay by Ray Bradbury (who years earlier had helped the Imagineers with the script for EPCOT Center’s flagship attraction, Spaceship Earth), is genuinely terrifying but not wholly devoid of that classic Disney magic. Set d...
When Tim Burton worked at Disney he was, unquestionably, bored to tears. So instead of animating cuddly animals (as he was tasked to do with The Fox and the Hound), he focused on things that really interested him, like an oddball stop-motion short narrated by Vincent Price, a potential holiday special about the spirit of Halloween invading Christma...

- The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. We know we're cheating by only putting half a movie on our list, but who can say their Halloween is complete without being exposed to this classic?
- Frankenweenie. Where would the wonderful and weird side of Disney be without the creative genius of Tim Burton? Inspired by a short-film Disney deemed "too dark," the studio decided to let him make Frankenweenie into a full feature film.
- Hocus Pocus. We know it's more of a comedy than a straight-up horror flick, but consider the elements that go into making this '90s masterpiece. The Sanderson sisters are witches that prey on children, ax off a little girl in the film's opening, are hanged and later burned alive, and their entire scheme is to bewitch the young victims of Salem.
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. "Ye best start believin' in ghost stories, Miss Turner..." Who would have thought that a film inspired by a Disney attraction would spawn a successful series and a role that would be the crowning achievement of Johnny Depp's career?

What is the scariest Disney movie of all time?
- Writer
- They. Produced by Craven and Dimension Films and distributed by (you guessed it) Miramax, They is another one of those forgotten works that Disney has their hands in.
- Cursed. Another one of Wes Craven's films with Miramax, Cursed is often cited as one of his worst projects ever. A misguided script that was mired with studio notes (and interference from one Harvey Weinstein) made for a film that never reached even a sliver of the potential that Craven saw in it.
- eXistenZ. Another film from a horror legend, David Cronenberg's eXistenZ was a co-production by Miramax and Dimension Films, which places it under the Disney banner.
- Mimic. Another Miramax/Disney joint, Mimic is one of the first English-language films that director Guillermo del Toro ever made, well before he ever made a Hellboy 1 or 2.

Mar 15, 2024 · 1. Return to Oz. Fairuza Balk, Nicol Williamson, Jean Marsh. 32 votes. Released: 1985. Directed by: Walter Murch.
