ITT We Reimagine Innocuous PG Films into Harrowing Horror Tales

What happy-go-lucky or innocuous movies out there do you think could go through a successful reimagining as a horror film? IE, Honey I Shrunk the Kids with Rick Moranis's character being a mentally disturbed scientist who deliberately shrinks the children in town so as to freeze them and sell them in store as miniature toys...or something along those lines?

retourner a l'avenir, in which Martin de Fly is kidnapped by a mad scientist and sent back in time to rape his own mother. he is discovered in the act by his future father, and is beaten to death. (dir. gaspar noe)

A Christmas Story, in which the kid is preemptively warned by a soothsayer in different physical forms that he will shoot his eye out with that Red Ryder BB Gun, and at the end of the movie, not only shoots his eye out, but the back of his head. The father attempts to build a time machine to undo the events but the crude machine explodes killing the whole family and destroying the house next door.

also for no reason Kevin Pollack is killed

Freeman stars as a gentle, wise black chauffeur Hoke Colburn, in the service of spunky Jewish widow Daisy Werthan, played by Tandy. As the years pass, their relationship evolves into a remarkable friendship, in which Daisy's increasing obsession with Kabbalist mysticism is encouraged by Hoke, who eventually invites her to participate in the rites he conducts as a wizened voodoun priest. At the climax, Miss Daisy beheads a sacrificial chicken with her teeth and the two are bathed in spraying blood on a moonlit night.

The Aristocats. In which a wealthy woman leaves her entire estate to her cats, rather than her loyal servant Edgar. Edgar enlists a team of alley cats to violently depose the tyrants and institute a system of proletarian rule. Duchess and her kittens are, naturally, beheaded.

Big II - Though he has remorphed from the visage of Tom Hanks to his younger self, 12-year-old Josh Baskin (David Moscow) remains stricken with his big-city girlfriend, 27-year-old Susan Lawrence (Elizabeth Perkins). Similarly, Susan finds herself dissatisfied with the emptiness of her jet-set lifestyle and longing for the childlike verve of her former lover. A series of heated, late-night phone conversations arouse the suspicion of Josh's mother (Mercedes Ruehl), who summons the police, leading to the arrest of Susan for kidnapping and statutory rape. As Josh again runs away from home, this time traversing the country in search of the fated Zoltar machine, Susan hangs herself in her prison cell. Meanwhile, Josh finds Zoltar, wishes himself Big, & returns to Chicago as Tom Hanks, only to be driven to apoplexy by Susan's death. Josh then murders his mother & Robert Loggia by repeatedly stabbing them with a plastic samurai sword, and then jumps into the path of an oncoming train, ending his own life.

Pillbox did you just make that up or did you pilfer it from a box of shooting scripts from a Hollywood office?

Josh then murders.. Robert Loggia..

But not before they jointly perform Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem on the FAO Schwarz floor piano

Speaking of Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump would have been much better as a sado gorefest. And anyone who takes that movie seriously and cries and stuff deserves to die in the splattery re-make.

it's so meta it just might work

Spirited nun-in-training, Maria, (Julie Andrews) becomes the governess of the seven Von Trapp children in Austria, pre-Nazi invasion. These children look eerily similar and communicate telepathically. They also possess telekinetic powers, and previous governesses have all perished in freak accidents. Their father, Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) is woefully unaware of his children's power and evil. During a freak thunderstorm, Maria comforts the youngest child, and discovers a scarified "666" under the child's Aryan blond mane. She tries to convince the Captain that his offspring are actually the spawn of Satan, but as he finally realizes something is very very wrong, the children usher in a regiment of Nazi soldiers and the Captain and Maria are shot.

Sound o Music meets Rosemary's Baby meets The Omen meets Village of the Damned meets Schindler's List!

It's still a musical, though, right?

yes - but the songs are by Goblin not R&H

Finding Neil: having been evicted from their plush west end flat after the collapse of their business, Mark and his wife Sheena, heavily pregnant with triplets, are given council housing in Glasgow's downtrodden Drumchapel. Despite these circumstances they remain hopeful, but this hope is shattered by an encounter with the Drum Young Team which ends with Sheena in a critical condition and Mark having lost his right eye. Sheena's injuries prove fatal, but doctors manage to save one of the children - Neil. The film tracks the strained relationship between Mark and Neil, with the fear, lack of ambition, and overprotective nature that have defined Mark since his wife's death widening the gap between them as Neil grows into an adventurous teenager. After one particularly heated argument, Neil runs away from home and finds himself embroiled in the world of prostitution. Mark must overcome his fear of the outside world to traverse the seediest and most violent areas of Glasgow's underground to rescue Neil from his grim fate.
