Seven Scary Movies...Or are they?

As I was trolling online I discovered the following link entitled:
"Seven Non-Horror Movies That Scared The Crap Out Of Me As A Kid"
http://www.cinematical.com/2007/10/13/cinematical-seven-non-horror-movies-that-scared-the-crap-out-of/

The movies listed in this link are:
1. Return to Oz
2. Neverending Story
3. PeeWee's Big Adventure
4. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
5. Labyrinth
6. Garbage Pail Kids Movie
7. Peanut Butter Solution

Now, let me lead off by saying that the only one of these movies that sort of disturbed me was Peanut Butter Solution (which I thought I had dreamed as some wacky nightmare since no one ever knew what I was talking about when I described the film). YAY, I'm not crazy! I didn't like Garbage Pail Kids Movie but that was mostly because I didn't like the Garbage Pail Kids.
I LOVE Return to OZ. LOVE IT. Did when I saw it in theatres (at about 3 or 4 years old) and still love it to this day. Same with Neverending Story and Labyrinth. Combined with Legend and Willow, those are probably my favorite movies from the 80s. So I wonder what it says about me that none of the movies scared me...

Anyway, I am now curious about what movies I saw as a kid that did scare me (although my parents were careful in what they allowed me to watch...). More later.
