Non-Horror Movies That Terrify Us to Our Core

zachnading Published 10/08/2021 in wtf

We've collected 10 of the scariest movies that aren't technically in the horror genre. Enjoy reliving the trauma!

10. The Princess Bride

Not a scary movie by any means, but what the f*** were those shrieking eels about?

Like for real. F*** that.

9. The Witches

Anything with snakes is a no-no. So this woman can go straight to hell.

Let's not forget Erica being kidnapped and thrown into a painting. Absolute nightmare fuel.

8. The Neverending Story

People will argue that this is an uplifting story, and that there are just sad parts along the way. But as a kid this scene scared the piss out of me. I think I'm still traumatized.

7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Talk about perfect casting. I would cover my eyes anytime Shredder would come on the screen in the live action TMNT movies.

The costume, the voice, just terrifying.

6. Matilda

Two words: The Chokey. Bro what in the actual f***. The chokey is so beyond messed up that it would never exist in schools today. For those who don't remember, it's a small closet where Miss Trunchbull would throw the bad kids.

Nails, shards of glass, and solitary confinement were the highlights of the chokey.

5. Toy Story

Aside from the fact that toys coming to life is a genuinely terrifying idea, I have to admit that Sid still scares me to this day.

I honestly believe that if Sid were a real person he would've brought a shotgun into school. No chill.

4. Who Framed Roger Rabbit

As sexy as Jessica Rabbit was, it still never made up for the trauma of watching Christopher Lloyd's eyes bulge out of his head.

Pure terror.

3. Kindergarten Cop

This is stranger danger 101. Cullen Crisp was an estranged, abusive father trying to find his ex. The dude brings a gun into a school and it was way too real!
