"When you watch your favorite childhood movies as an adult, you might notice some subtle changes in your review.\nMaybe you identified with a character when you were 10, but now, they seem like an insufferable brat. Or perhaps you've come to realize the \"evil parents\" were just trying to keep their kids safe.\nSee also: 11 Animated Children's Films More Devastating Than Any Disney Movie\nOf course, some pleasures of a movie don't change. Old or young, it's still fun to jump around, chanting, \"Amok, amok, amok!\"\n\n\n6 Halloween Movies Seen in the Harsh Light of Adulthood\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Hocus Pocus: When you were a kid, you wanted to be Danny. \nDanny had everything an elementary schooler could want from Halloween night: A cool older sibling to escort her, candy, a haunted house, and the temporary custody of a talking cat. Those kind of perks were definitely worth the mortal peril. \n\nImage: Tumblr grampas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Now: You're kind of worried about Danny. \n\nNever mind whether or not little Danny understood the concept of virginity, this perception of the \"best Halloween night ever\" would probably physiologically scar you. \nIn just a few hours, she adopted and lost a talking pet, then almost died -- plus, she learned when there actually is a monster under the bed, her parents can't help her. \n\n\nImage: Tumblr movie-geek-77\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Casper: When you were a kid, you thought Casper was a hopelessly romantic ghost. \nHe wanted a human form so he could share one real kiss with her! How sweet!\n\nImage: Tumblr moviegifss\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: Casper kind of seemed like a creep.\nNo, Casper, you can not keep her. You can, however, take a women's studies class.\n\nImage: Tumblr junibie\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Addams Family Values: When you were a kid, Wednesday Addams was a badass. \nShe staged a full-blown camp play coup! And got some amazing one-liners. \n\nImage: Tumblr fuuckinggunicorn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: Wednesday Addams was insightfully wise beyond her years.\nThis line is funny, but as an adult you might understand just how mature a kid would have to be to realize this about a peer.\n\nImage: Tumblr cheshire-smiling-cat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Halloweentown: When you were a kid, the mom came across as pure evil.\n\nIt was hard to decide which was a worse offense:  Keeping her kids from free candy or from their magical birthright. \nIt was basically like she was stealing their Hogwarts letters, and putting them through the shredder. \n\n\nImage: Tumblr cultfilm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: Maybe she had the right idea after all.\nThroughout the movie, a magical man pulls sweets from behind his ear and offers them to a small child -- one who has just spent hours watching other children stuff their bags with candy -- yet she doesn't take any of it. That is one obedient kid. \n\nImage: Tumblr thegrimsleeper\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSleepy Hallow: When you were a kid, you were terrified of the gore. \nThis was was no Hocus Pocus. Heads were chopped off, blood was spilled and Christopher Walken had the world's scariest dentures. \n\nImage: Tumblr tomhiddles\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: The religious persecution seems terrifying. \nThat poor woman was killed in the world's least inviting sarcophagus because her husband thought she was a witch, when in reality she was just a kind of friendly pagan. \n\nImage: Tumblr disasterinbloomxox\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Little Vampire: When you were a kid, you wondered who thought up the vampire cows?\n\n\nVideo: YouTube, Asanator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow: You still don't understand the vampire cows. \n\n\nVideo: YouTube, Asanator\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Walt Disney Pictures"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
