The Wizard of Oz

I was brave tonight, and turned to channel on that was playing the Wizard of Oz. It was at the end of the movie, that I rarely see - of course, I can never watch much of it, so of course I dont get to the end - anyway...I was greatly distressed! The Wicked Witch of the West had lit the Scarecrow on fire, and Dorothy tossed a bucket of water on him to put out the fire. Instead, the water hit the witch, and she MELTED and died. Dorothy killed her, just like that. It was dreaful! This witch melting right there and screaming in that awful voice! I may have a nightmare about this tonight. I do not understand why this movie horrifies me so much. Nearly every scene in it distresses me and causes me anxiety. I think this movie is what made me afraid of thunderstorms when I was a kid. We used to always watch The Wizard of Oz when it was on...why could I watch it when I was a kid and not now?

I will say, I am watching it on HD, and holy cow it is vibrant. Still distressing though. Especially those evil monkey things. And the scene where the evil woman takes away Toto...And when she is in the tornado and turns into the witch! HORRIFYING! It's one great big nightmare waiting to happen.
