A key element to WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME is the insidiousness of childhood fear. Growing up in the 80s/90s, it seemed like every movie featured at least 1 TRAUMATIZING moment that came outta nowhere. Here are some that messed me up (one of which might get a li'l cameo in the book). What are yours?

THE FACE FALLING OFF IN CHUNKS.
Rest was great. But holy crap, that got a PG?!
When I *was* a child, I loved horror movies. But put on Brave Little Toaster & the scene where the AC breaks would have me running for my mom!
Mine is a well-worn one:
1. Fuckin Large Marge (PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE)
2. The unbearable terror of the end of SUPERMAN 3
3. Fuckin Judge Doom (ROGER RABBIT)
4. The freakishly uncanny shark from JAWS 3D
(contd…)
6. Dying ET
7. The fuckin boat scene acid trip in the og WILLY WONKA
8. Podling draining (THE DARK CRYSTAL)
(contd…)
10. Pretty much any scene from THE SECRET OF NIMH
11. Pretty much any scene from THE BLACK CAULDRON
12. Nazi Face Melt from RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (I approved of its existence; just a little intense there for a wee one)
