Not Scary Anymore: 7 Films That We Were Afraid To Watch As Children

Gremlins, witches and ghosts - BeautyHack recalls the heroes of the films who kept you awake as a child. Now we have grown up, and we can plunge headlong into films and begin to feel nostalgic about these autumn evenings.

Hocus Pocus, 1993

If your childhood was in the 90s, you probably know the Sanderson sisters - Winifred, Sarah and Mary. Despite the negative role in the film, witches cheer up - both when they scare children, and when they fly on vacuum cleaners instead of brooms. Hocus Pocus is also a great opportunity to imagine what it would be like if Carrie Bradshaw were a witch. You can also find out what kind of witch you would be - for this take our test.

Beetlejuice, 1988

What's Halloween without a Tim Burton movie? The All Saints Day classic - a kind of reference to Oksar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost - tells the story of an unusual girl Lydia and two ghosts trying to get her family out of their own home. It could be scary if it weren't so funny.

Casper, 1995

Casper proves that even ghosts can be befriended. Dr. Harvey, a specialist in paranormal activity, settles with his daughter in an old haunted mansion, one of which is quite friendly. In the finale, Kasper, in human form, will dance with the same girl, and a mean tear will flow from everyone without exception.

The Addams Family, 1991

The Addams family, who made Halloween not just a holiday, but a way of life, have been appearing on screens since the 60s, but you probably remember the characters from the 1991 film adaptation. The Frankenstein Butler, the severed hand that everyone calls the Thing, the witch grandmother and other members of the strange family will make you nostalgic for your childhood for 99 minutes of the film.

A Nightmare on Elm Street, 1984

If in childhood you were afraid to sleep, then most likely because of the main character of the TV series "A Nightmare on Elm Street". A red and green striped sweater, sharp blade-fingers and an eerie face - sure, someone still recalls Freddy Krueger with a shudder. The series became so popular that it led to remakes, comics, books, and even video games.

Gremlins, 1984

The moment when cute fluffy gremlins turn into creepy monsters we still remember with bated breath. They told the main character not to feed them after midnight! Despite the fact that the film features Christmas, it is perfect for Halloween and teaches you never to eat at night - just in case.

Critters, 1991

They scared naughty children who refused to go to the dentist with toothbrushes - now it's clear why. The episode about evil aliens devouring everything in their path stretches over four episodes, but we advise you to revisit the third - a great opportunity to see Leonardo DiCaprio as a teenager.
