Creepy, somewhat obnoxious yet oddly endearing movie about a kid named Brian (Fred Savage) who moves to a new neighborhood and finds that there is an alternate universe hidden beneath his bed. This universe is filled with various monsters, weirdos and other creepy folks, and it is also home to Maurice, (a particularly caffienated Howie Mandel) a blue monster who becomes Brian's good friend and tour guide through this ghoulish underworld. The creepy factor in this movie involves the villain, a monster simply named 'Boy', who looks like a normal kid from the front. The other side, however, reveals that he is missing half his head, brain completely exposed.
I loved this movie as a kid, but watched it again recently and realized that some of the charm had worn off. I also noticed some similarities between this and Pixar's 'Monsters Inc', released years later...though it's most likely a coincidence. Still, it's a passable time-waster if A) you're a fan of Howie Mandel or B)you're bored. If anything else, see it just for the 'apple juice' scene. You'll know it when you see it. Also has a younger Devin Ratray, otherwise known as Kevin's older brother Buzz in the 'Home Alone' movies.

OK, now here's one mind-trip of a movie right here. You can pretty much take the creep factor of the 'flying monkies' from the Wizard of Oz, make a whole movie out of it...then you would have 'Return to Oz'.
The plot is a direct continuation of the events in 'The Wizard of Oz'. It takes place six months after Dorothy returned to Kansas from Oz. She is unable to sleep and always talks about imaginary places and people, so her aunt takes her to see a psychiatrist. Dorothy eventually escapes from the mental hospital and once again finds herself in Oz, yet soon discovers that all her old friends had been captured by the Nome King. It is up to her and her now-able-to-talk chicken Billina to rescue her old friends and somehow get back home again.
There are numerous creepy things throughout this movie...namely, the weird man-creatures known as the Wheelers, who possess wheels for hands and feet and roll around on all fours, cackling the creepiest laugh you've ever heard while chasing Dorothy all over the place. Princess Mombi is another nightmare-inducer. She has a bunch of cabinents filled with different heads, and she can remove her own head and replace it at will with another. Just wait for the scene where Dorothy has to venture into the hall to retrieve something, and has to try passing by all the various heads. You won't be able to sleep for days.
All in all, this is still a really good movie, and I would definitely recommend it.

Based off of the book by Roald Dahl, The Witches is a neat little creep-fest of a movie. It stars a scene-chewing Anjelica Huston as the child-hating Grand High Witch, who has plans to turn all the children in England into mice via a potion mixed into chocolate bars. A child named Luke happens upon the witches during one of their meetings, and ends up getting turned into a mouse (via fantastic effects by Jim Henson's Creature Shop) himself. It's up to him and his witch-fighting grandmother to stop the Witches' plot, and try and get himself turned back into a kid in the process.
I just have to say that Roald Dahl is one of my all time favorite authors; he has written some of the darkest childrens' books of all time, and I love him for it. This one is one of my particular favorites. The creep factor here involves the witches transforming from nice old ladies into hideous hags via excellent makeup effects...and also one particular scene near the end involving the comeuppance of the Grand High Witch. I highly suggest checking this one out...it's really entertaining for kids and adults alike. Keep an eye out for Rowan Atkinson aka Mr Bean as the hotel manager.
