They're the scariest people in Children's films?
If you took out Freddy, Linda Blair and probably Michael Myers, these are all the sorts of films that my kids (6 & 9) would probably watch.

You let your kids watch Poltergeist, wow you must have either brave children or they are crazy. I used to watch Poltergeist and got real scared through out the movie. For a PG movie, that was crap your pants terrfying.

Yes, Return of Oz is considered a family film, but the whole movie is a total mind f-bomb. The Wheelies (as mentioned on #9) and the Wombi the witch ("DORTHY GALE!! !") As a four year old watching the film, I was pissing in the pants.

The countdown has the scariest movie characters from both my childhood and my teenhood so it is the best of both worlds. Plus, this website is '80s-'90s ornieted, so it's nostalgic to me.

Actually, poltergiest, while a kids film, is still something I wouldn't recommend for my kids because it's got "bedroom scenes". Sorry, should have had that in the list.
The clown and the tree are a bit too much, though the rest of the film is possibly ok.

My kids happily watched Resident Evil 3: Extinction - and I'd say that film is easily more child-friendly than poltergeist because although it's got a higher gore factor, the scenes are far enough removed from reality to be difficult for them to relate back to home.
