Creepiest Kids’ Movies of All Time!

I do and don’t understand the allure of “top ten” or “best of all time” lists. On the I-don’t-get-it front, lists are lazy, and they actually make you dumber (this has been scientifically proven). On the do-understand aspect of the debate–I’m lazy and stupid. So there you go. How about this one, via Babble, on the 26 Most Disturbing Kids Movies Ever?

Why 26? Who knows? Maybe they’re too lazy or stupid to pick a logical number like 13 or 9. But any list that includes both Bambi (they shoot the mother) and The Neverending Movie Story is worth a quick glance.

Which is what you should give it.
