    We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which non-horror movies scared the hell out of them. Here are the spine-tingling results.

    1. E.T. (1982)

    Universal Studios

    "The sounds he makes are terrible, and I HATED the scene where he's naked and dying in that sewer drain... You can have all of my 'nopes.'"

    2. Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

    Buena Vista

    "Christopher Lloyd's face at the end before he gets steamrolled is forever in my brain, and the boiling of that poor cartoon shoe made for endless nightmares."

    —Samantha Elizabeth and Sasha Bee, Facebook

    3. Return to Oz (1985)

    Buena Vista Pictures / Disney

    "When Princess Mombi yells, 'DOOOOROTTHYYY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE' and when that f*cking headless corpse sits up in bed and starts coming after her. No thanks."

    —Samantha Elizabeth, Facebook

    4. Jack Frost (1998)

    Warner Bros.

    "Michael Keaton dies and is reincarnated as a snowman to make things right with his son. I watched it after my parents passed, and was terrified they were going to come back as snowmen."

    —Kristina Khanoyan, Facebook

    5. The Peanut Butter Solution (1985)

    New World Pictures

    "A boy gets scared and loses his hair, then ghosts tell him to put peanut butter on his head so it'll grow back. He overdoes it and it won't stop growing. A former art teacher then kidnaps him and other kids, and forces them to cut his hair and turn them into paint brushes, or they won't be allowed to eat. WTF?"

    6. Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

    Warner Bros.

    "Pee-wee is horrifying in general, but this movie was SO SCARY. Specifically Large Marge's face when her eyes were just tiny dots."

    —Melanie Cisernos, Facebook

    7. The Witches (1990)

    Warner Bros.

    "When the Grand High Witch (Anjelica Huston) took her face off, it scared the shit out of me. I still don't think I've ever watched it all the way through."

    —Megan York, Facebook

    8. Dark Crystal (1982)

    Universal Studios

    "Okay so I know it's about alien creatures, but every single one is just downright creepy."

    —Kelly Kathleen, Facebook

    9. The Hugga Bunch (1985)

    Parker Brothers / Hallmark

    "These detached puppet things haunted my memory for years. What adult could watch that and not be creeped out, much less let their kids?!"

    —maceybug31

    10. Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland (1989)

    Hemdale Film Corporation

    "It's about where you go when you dream, and the villain in it is a giant devil-like thing that is so dark and scary. This should NOT be a children's movie!"

    —Fallon Gyorke, Facebook

    11. FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992)

    20th Century Fox

    "I thought the skeletal pollution monster, Hexxus, was hiding in my laundry room. JUST LOOK AT HIM."

    —pendragons

    12. Monster House (2006)

    Columbia Pictures

    "This movie always made me feel really scared even though it's an animation about a house that comes to life."

    —dereenh

    13. The Last Unicorn (1982)

    Rankin/Bass

    "I watched it as a kid and was terrified because I assumed that a movie with unicorns was going to be lighthearted. It wasn't."

    —Kim Gaebe, Facebook

    14. Grandpa's Magical Toys (1988)

    Wee Sing / Penguin Group

    "You'd think shrinking down to the same size as your toys would be fun and exciting, but as a 25-year-old I'm still terrified of Punchinello the clown. BYE."

    —Anna Kopsky

    15. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)

    Paramount Pictures

    "I absolutely adore this movie, but the Oompa Loompas scare me. They only come around when bad things happen. I understand that the kids are bratty, but seriously? That's next-level savage."

    —Vanessa Martinez, Facebook

    16. Little Monsters (1989)

    United Artists

    "A boy BEFRIENDS the monster under his bed??? Sounds fake."

    —Christopher T. German, Facebook

    19. And Jim Henson's Labyrinth (1986)

    TriStar Pictures

    "All of the creatures were difficult to look at, and the scene where the red furry guys pulled off their heads and danced around still makes me scared and uncomfortable!"

    —Alyssa Kessler, Facebook
