Guide to the Unknown 134: Unexpected Horror for Kids

This week on the show we're looking at a VERY specific, and kind of complicated topic: things on television that are inadvertently scary or traumatizing.

Some of our list of topics came directly from listeners, others came from our own childhood. Sometimes kids shows and movies tell stories that are a little TOO freaky!

We're looking at YOU, Alice in Wonderland, Rugrats, Salute Your Shorts. And don't think YOU'RE off the hook, PeeWee's Big Adventure, Brave Little Toaster, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Return to Oz, and Willy Wonka.

Shoutout to Genesis and Rumplestiltskin...We hate you.
