Nasties for Kids?

Tools    





I'm trying to compile a list of "nasties" aimed at kids. Remembering, how in the early 1980s the uproar about the so-called video nasties. I believe Disney released some horror films aimed at kids during this period.

Can you help me name them.

I know of three:
Something Wicked, This Way Comes.
Dragonslayer.
The Watcher in the Woods.

Were there any more?

Dragonslayer was pretty violent wasn't it? It didn't mess about.

A lot of people in the UK were terrified of these "video nasties". People were afraid that the new technology of VCR's would expose children to "video nasties" and cause them psychological harm. But it turns out to have been mostly hysteria. For example, people thought "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" was a "video nasty", because from the title it sounds like pornography. But in fact it was a broadway musical.
