Definitely my number-one! Still gives me the creeps, at age 19!

I'm 28 and I agree with you. It's both still my #1 and it never leaves you. I don't think there's a single other figure in Disney's entire animated repertoire scarier than Maleficent is in that scene. Her and the suggestion of her through just her voice.


The rest of my list - Top 10 Spookiest / Scariest / Most Intense Disney Moments:

2. (Not a movie, but I think I can get away with this) "Grim Girnning Ghosts," the song

3. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/f3Wj2jsbV-o" frameborder="0"></iframe>
The Rescuers Read-Along. Especially the scene from 2:17-4:45. This used to scare the ever-loving HELL out of me as a kid!! The way the narrator read "crocodiles" and the pictures of those glowing eyes and Medusa's ultra-shrill readings of the lines (this voice I think is scarier than Geraldine Page). Terrifying!

4. Ichabod's ride home (the build-up to the Headless Horseman scene) - The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad

5. Maleficent "comforts" Phillip in his cell - Sleeping Beauty / That shot of her face when she says "the years roll by" absolutely made me SHIVER as a kid, I used to try and scare myself just by rewinding that sequence over and over again.

6. "Come Little Children" - Hocus Pocus

7. The "even walls have ears" moment - Sleeping Beauty, because of that sequence, you don't really feel safe for the rest of the movie

8. Willie the Giant's eyes - Fun in Fancy Free. Both the "peek-a-boo!!" moment during "Fee Fi Fo Fum," and the moment where Mickey is trying to tie his boot laces together and finds out Willie was only pretending to fall asleep.

9. The moment in Night on Bald Mountain where the ghosts fly out of the graves - Fantasia.

10. The Lampwick transformation sequence - Pinocchio, mostly because there's just nothing anyone can do. The kid is doomed.


Honorable Mention(s)

The scene where "possessed" Mr. Davis goes into the basement to get the cloak and Corwin and Ari follow him - The Bride of Boogedy

"Poor Unfortunate Souls" - The Little Mermaid

The scene of Pooh going to open his door after hearing the strange noises - Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day

The shots of the Wolf and leading up to him - Make Mine Music

The evil stare of Lady Tremaine - Cinderella

The scenes of Mr. Davis becoming possessed and acting weird - The Bride of Boogedy

The narrator talking about the "foreboding" quality of Sleepy Hollow - Ichabod & Mr. Toad

Maleficent's dragon duel - Sleeping Beauty

"Heffalumps & Woozles" - Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day

The Vanessa scenes - The Little Mermaid

Off the top of my head:

-The Coachman's evil face during the scene with Honest John and Gideon in Pinocchio
-The "I wanna go home" donkey scene in Pinocchio
-Giant Ursula in The Little Mermaid
-Hopper being lowered by the Mama Bird to the baby birds in a Bug's Life
-Pluto's Judgement Day ugh that whole short creeped me out
-and for some reason when the Prince's portrait is first shown to us before the Beast tears it always creeped me out. Just those eyes staring at ya.

-The Queen Transforming into the Old Peddler Woman
-Lampwick Transforming into a Donkey
-Winnie the Pooh's Wink at the end of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
-Jafar from Aladdin

I didn't think of Hocus Pocus, but that scene was a little chilling when I was young. Definitely an eerie vibe.

Just rewatched the movie yesterday and somehow wasn't paying attention to how I knew it was coming up and the second she started singing, I froze up.

Very chilling. Still a little "she was so silly and now she isn't..." Testament to her underrated acting skills. (All anyone ever talks about is her age, husband, or how much they dislike Sex and the City.)

Lampwick transforming into a Donkey still freaks me out. Same thing when Ratigan resorts back to being a rat while attacking Basil; I think that whole clock tower sequence makes the movie.

Tristy wrote:I'm surprised nobody brought up Judge Doom. I mean it's creepy enough that he heartlessly murders an innocent cartoon shoe but that scene at the end where he reveals himself to be a Toon--brrr! I can't believe this was marketed as a family friendly movie about cartoon characters. The critics even made it sound that way. I mean don't get me wrong the movie's awesome but I'm still having a hard time mustering up the courage to see the scene. Those red eyes...that insane scary voice...This was the part I always walked away from and I'd ask my dad to let me know when he melted. The funny thing is it scared me even more as 12 year old than as a three year old.

I was sticking to the official cannon, but what happened to that poor shoe was upsetting. It was begging Doom for mercy

On another note, I've thought of another (pathetic) one. I find it spooky when Willie The Giant is introduced and we can only see his shadow.

Dr Frankenollie wrote:I loved that. Lazario, was the 'Read-Along' a book with a cassette tape, and were there any other Disney 'Read-Alongs'?

Yeah. I hope all these links are still up, here's a copy of a post I made on this last Christmas:

God, I miss all those Disney storyteller / read-along audio stories. I guess- they made those for a long time? I used to have some in the late 80's on audio cassette.

So... how's about I dig around on YouTube a little and see what I can find.

I tried to find one for 101 Dalmatians but I want the one from the 80's. The only one they have has a Pongo narration- it's terrible and sounds very 90's. The one I remember used to scare me, especially the Cruella DeVil moments. I also can't find the Fox and the Hound one I used to have. Looked all over the place. Also, several users show that Disney had a Robin Hood read along and I can't find that either. Also... I found one for Sleeping Beauty. And it's from the 80's! (Or maybe even earlier!) But... every part is less than a minute. So, they'll be about 12 parts or so. They had at least 2 for Pinocchio, but again they were sucky.

Here's a site where you can play audio of some of the older Disneyland Read-Along records: http://www.mousevinyl.com/content/see-h ... ad-catalog . . . you can even flip through the pages with the Sribd app and read along too. If you look at the main site you'll find lots more Disneyland records to check out.

I had a handful of Disneyland records growing up, some of the read-alongs as well, which were mostly hand-me-downs from the neighbor kids. Audio cassette was growing in popularity by then, and I bought myself a few when I was supposedly too old for them in the late 80's, early 90's.

I'm glad I was only 7 in the late 80's. I wasn't too old for that kind of thing. Couldn't be more retro to kids today.

I turned 12 in 1988 and I remember taking my saved up money to Waldenbooks so I could purchase the Oliver & Co. and Roger Rabbit read-alongs on cassette . . . and it was a great bonus that they'd started including songs at the end of the stories. As I mentioned, I also bought several in the early 90's, usually for whatever the latest Disney movie that was out or coming soon but wasn't on VHS yet. Never bothered me too much that I wasn't learning to read anymore.

They're still making these by the way, but now there are more options . . . they're now on CD of course: http://www.amazon.com/Tangled-Disney-La ... 1423137426 and they also do apps for the iPad. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-prin ... 07390?mt=8
