Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Where to start with this one? There's far too much material to work with here. Lets see, for starters there's the numerous 'disappearances' in Wonka's deathtrap of a chocolate factory. Witnessing Augustus Gloop getting sucked up the giant, chocolate tube-thing was a horrible image, made all the worse that Wonka simply didn't give a shit. I don't care what anyone else says! That man was cold! Aside from the Oompa Loompas, (who illustrated the onscreen carnage via sing-song), there is also the fuckin' demented boat ride down the fuckin' disgusting chocolate river, where we, the family are greeted to an image of a chicken getting it's head chopped off. Nice.
Return to Oz (1985)
Despite it's Oz connection, make no mistake, this film isn't like The Wizard of Oz. There's no Judy Garland nor is there the presence of happy, singing Munchkins. Instead, Dorothy is sent to some dodgy psychiatric hospital where she is given shock treatment in a desperate bid to cure her "fantasies" of Oz. And this is only the beginning, folks. There are strange, seemingly doped-up characters called Wheelers, who incidentally, have wheels in place of hands and feet. There's also the awesome Mombie, who has a collection of living heads, which she can switch around, like a collection of shoes -- fleshy, eye-rolling shoes. Scariest scene is of a headless Mombie chasing Dorothy, while her head watches on, commanding her strange twig-like body to catch her.
