I can definitely relate to that! Some non-horror media that scared me as a child include the scene in The Wizard of Oz when the flying monkeys appear. Their cackling and intense expressions really unsettled me! Another one would be The NeverEnding Story, especially the moment when Artax sinks into the Swamp of Sadness—it felt so bleak and haunting. And I remember being genuinely frightened by some of the darker themes in The Lion King, like the scene of Mufasa’s death. It’s interesting how certain moments stick with us even when they’re not part of the horror genre! What about you? What non-horror media left a lasting impression?
