Childhood movie scenes

Most of the movie scenes that stand out from my childhood were the things that scared me. The heffalumps and woozles from Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, the witch from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and the tyrannosaur from the first The Land Before Time movie. All these scenes had scary music and scary faces. The floating crazy eyes of the heffalumps and woozles and the eerie song (which is now just cute and funny) warning me that "heffalumps and woozles steal honey: beware, beware!"was enough to send me running out of the room. The evil witch queen from Snow White was always in a dark ominous room and was especially scary when she transformed into the witch with long scraggly hair. Oh, and the trees in the forest trying to grab Snow White as she spun around crying scared me a lot as well. And the tyrannosaur? It had big scary teeth and it killed Littlefoot's mom! If it could kill a mom, Littlefoot had no chance. I don't know why the scary things are the things I remember the best. I watched a lot of happy movies too, but they were never the ones that visited me in the middle of the night.
