I would've cried on that boat in Willy Wonka's tunnel. 😭
BuzzFeed Community TeamWanna know why this film is truly a horror? Three words — the Child Catcher! The plot, while not entirely set in reality, is still pretty dark. Bookended as a tall tale, a single father is telling his children story at the beach — a story that features child kidnappings, a town terrorized by an evil baron/baroness duo, slave labor, and so much more.
Terrifyingly throughout the course of the film, we see a child drown in chocolate, a child shrunk to the size of a chocolate bar, a child balloon and swell up while turning blue, and a child deemed to be a"bad egg" and sent off down a garbage chute . All while the Oompa Loompas are singing a catchy tune about each of their demises! However, that's not all — the film also features espionage and Charlie's grandpa .
The thing about"The Nothing" is that the closer you are to it, the stronger the urge to just get up and throw yourself into it is! Harrowing. But that's not even the most terrifying thing! We meet a whole slew of characters throughout the film, including the giant bearded luck dragon Falkor, Morla a giant turtle , and Pyornkrachzark the rock-biter .
Setting out on the broken yellow brick road, their journey begins. Along the way, Dorothy meets her new companions — Tik-Tok, a mechanical servant of the Scarecrow , Jack Pumpkinhead, an anthropomorphic tree-like chap with a pumpkin for a head and Gump, a flying/talking moose head...yeah. Then there's also the villains — first up, the Wheelers, the blundering and incompetent henchmen on wheels. They are eerie, weird, and far more terrifying than the flying monkeys from the first film.
