Countdown to Halloween: Now, fly! Fly! FLY!!

I think this scene from The Wizard of Oz can rightly be called a classic – it’s been traumatizing children deep into adulthood for decades.

I don’t know if I’ve ever met anyone who wasn’t at least a little creeped out during the flying monkeys scene, and who could blame them? Blue-faced chimps in jolly little organ grinder gear fill a gray sky, hooting and grunting on their way to snatching a young farm girl from a haunted forest. And, just for good measure, they literally tear apart one of her friends.

Ugh – I just gave myself goosebumps.
