Halloween Animation Day 25: Brave Little Toaster

Brave Little Toaster has a reputation for having some of the most unnerving and terrifying scenes in a family animated film, at least relative to its premise, showing that life from the perspective of an appliance is actually pretty horrible, being abandoned, ripped apart, broken and destroyed. The clown alone from Toaster's nightmare holds a special place in many a millenials nightmare, but then songs like 'It's like a movie' (or B movie I guess) which is shot like a classic horror movie, to worthless which is a BOP but incredibly dark just watching sentient cars being crushed and essentially killed.

10/11/17 – day eleven of thirty-one days of horror!

How about something for the kids? Anyone who grew up in the late 70s or early 80s likely remembers The Watcher in the Woods, a spooky bit of kindertrauma that seemed to impact anyone who managed to catch it the many times it was broadcast on TV. Born in the halcyon era where Disney was making live-action genre films for the young adult crowd, John Hough’s adaptation of the Florence Engel Randall novel follows an American teenage girl (Lynn-Holly Johnson) who moves to a spooky Olde English manor with her family (including younger sister Kyle Richards) and finds it seemingly haunted by the ghostly daughter of the manor’s owner – played with end-of-her-career crankiness by Bette Davis. I don’t want to get into spoiler territory, but suffice it to say that what starts off as a typical haunted house story evolves into something far crazier, leading to a baffling and bizarre climax which – if you happen to have the DVD and check out the alternate ending – is actually a far less crazy and baffling climax than what was originally shot. Despite the nuttiness the scares are well realized and genuinely creepy, a perfect starter-kit spookfest for the monster kid in your family and a nice revisit for the nostalgic horror veteran.
