Movie Trauma

What movie scared you when you were a child?

The Wizard of Oz. My grandmother had long hair, but she always kept it up. One day, we arrived after she had bathed. Her long black hair was still down so it could dry. I do not know why, but that long hair made my 3-4 yo self think of the witch from WoO with the hat that had the gauzy material flowing from the back. I screamed my head off and tried to run away. My parents caught me and tried to tell me it was my grandmother, but I was not having it. I would not calm down until she put her hair up. I still remember it very clearly.
