Return to Oz is closer to horror than the original, but it would be really cool to see an Oz adaptation take that challenge full-on (Guillermo del Toro please). .

So an early "horror-oriented" script might already exists somewhere... before it was pitched to Disney and then sanitized for a wider audience. Would not be surprised ;)

Okay, I've been thinking. My ideas... Firstly, Summer's secret - I'm thinking it's an American Mary type situation, where she's "practising surgery" in her basement. But instead, it's taxidermy. It could start out small, and have JGL walking through, inspecting little animals. They get bigger, and more disturbing as he moves on. Finally, there is a half-done human. 😉 Okay, other films: 1) Rapunzel: I'm thinking she is tortured in the tower her whole life. Eventually she kills herself (probably jumps). She is now an urban legend. Think Candyman with The Grudge (OG Japanese version!). So, the golden hair might be black for this one! 2) The Secret Garden: This one is almost a story of Munchausen by proxy anyway. So, Mary discovers that they are poisoning Colin. She either finds the garden full of poisonous plants, or together they make it. Colin and Mary use the secret garden to create a poison, and kill all of Colin's carers and servents. There needs to be a twist or two, but I don't know what it is yet! 3)Beauty and the Beast: It's a cheap shot, but this could be a nice, gory creature feature! Keep Belle falling in love with the considerate, sweet man inside the best, but she is unaware that at night he needs to feed. He is wreaking havok in the little French village. So I guess it could become an interesting moral dilemma. He is a good person, but as part of the spell, he is compelled to eat humans. Is he still good? Does he now... Enjoy it? Okay, I'm done! Just a thought though, would you be keen to do a part two with people's ideas? I'd be super interested in hearing other people's picks for this, and any additions or tweaks you would make to the ideas if it were your movie!

But she figures out what the kids are doing, and manages to fake her own death. Then... does she stop the kids? Does she try to help them (and maybe guide them as to whom they should and shouldn't kill). Hell, does she kill the kids?

You could keep the fantasy feel, but you could have some traps in the maze, and the creatures are dangerous instead of friendly, to give you some suspense as she's going round, and there could be more of a sinister "boss fight" against Jareth at the end. Mary Poppins could be a fun one as well, but instead of taking the kids on whimsical adventures of their imagination, she takes them into their nightmares, and maybe she only leaves once they have faced their fears. 😨

Some comedies that would work well as horror are The Cable Guy, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (A film about drugs and the craziness of being constantly high would work very well. Enter the Viod kinda is this already but I digress). The Mask, almost any Buddie Comedy would work if handled right. Edit: For the idea of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas I thought it would be interesting if 2 friends that follow Hunter S. Thompson like it's a religion. They would get an idea that in order for them to be true to Hunter they twistedly decide to copy his drug fueled bender. In the process they can't handle how f***ed up they get. Imagine the possibilities. This is kinda like Spooky's idea lol. Also the movie The Voices even though it's already a comical horror if you film it from the "Victims" aspect it becomes a straight up horror film.

In the end, Kevin falls victim to one of the traps and really does die instead of escaping with the rest of his family... or so they and WITSEC think.

I like to imagine sitting in a bar having a drink with you spitballing these ideas. The video has that kind of vibe. Inception it could be nightmares instead of dreams where each character is getting killed off in some way. Would be like final destination but in the dream world and no Freddy Krueger Sex and the city could have Carrie as completely delusional doing all these bizarre antics with her friends in New York (who don’t actually exist but represent different parts of her personality) Spy Kids could be another fun one or an evil inspector gadget he’s basically like the terminator and only one person knows how to stop him. Get Jordan Peele on the soundtrack 😂

As far as Summer's secret, I'm gonna go VERY dark, and say that she kidnaps children to be sold on the black market. 😳 Drop Dead Fred sounds great! I used to love that movie as a kid. Hehe. I think the only movie I'd like to see remade as a horror that you didn't already mention would be Alice in Wonderland. Hehehe.

The best version of non-horror remade/reimagined into horror (albeit unintentional) is The Wizard of Oz and Return to Oz. The latter is a fright fest.

Some really fun picks! I’d totally see a full horror Willy Wonka, 500 Days of Summer, and Smiley Face (so few people have seen this one!)

ET, Cast Away, and Back to the Future could make for some interesting horror concepts.

I suggest "What About Bob?" It would be like Misery. But with more moving around.

Yes! That head in the book was so creepy and contrast it with the bright colours and the bears. I think I may re-watch that now.

The internet has shown that 'Mary Poppins' isn't too far removed from a horror film. 'Harvey' could make for a good horror-comedy (psychotic alcoholic goes on killing spree, urged on by a giant rabbit). ... but how about 'The Room'? The obvious approach is, again, as a horror-comedy but a full-blown stalker-thriller would be fascinating to see (but all done well with a good script and acting). Imagine being able to compare that with the original.

Your so right about Willy Wonka being near horror, Gene Wilder played his part with a sinister edge, but Drop Dead Fred is a fave of mine would work brilliant as a horror....also I'm obsessed with Amelie it would be interesting as a horror, especially if Audrey Toutou could still be Amelie that would be amazeballs!!! Great picks and a great idea!! One film I would say would make a great slasher/horror film would be Adventures in Babysitting....it's an old film and would make a great idea for the horror genre!! 🙂

I would LOVE to see a horror/comedy sort of Smiley Face remake/reboot/spinoff sort of deal!! & kind of a weird horror reboot idea but I think it'd be really cool to see "Holiday in the Sun" (with good ol' Mary-Kate & Ashley) remade as a horror lol - honestly, the more I think about it the more I realize this is a cheap sci-fi idea but I still think it sounds fun as hell hahahahahaha

Clifford: OMG, giant killer dog! YES YES! A simple version would be it's just a feral dog and the heroes have to stop it. The more complicated version would be that Clifford has an owner making him kill. Either a revenge thing (Carrie, Deadly Best Friend, etc), or just a bad guy that needs to be stopped.

There's a YT video on Film Theorists about the possibility that Snowpiercer being a secret sequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factor. Have you seen it? And if so, what did you think of this theory? I think the comedy Planes, Trains, and Automobiles would make an interesting horror movie as well. While You Were Sleeping would as well; even the title is creepy.

How about Pinocchio? (SPOILERS) A film that features child abduction, humans mutating into animals and huge sea monsters is nearly horror anyway. Just needs a creepy ending, perhaps he gets the soul of a boy but it remains trapped in a puppet body.

The Hunger Games but turned into a fully brutal rated R Battle Royale horror movie. Coco could easily be turned into a movie about a child trying to escape from purgatory. Jumanji and Zathura can both be turned into cursed board game horror films. Matilda can be turned into a horror fantasy about a murderous boarding school.
