The Wheelers were nightmare fuel for years for me as a child, glad Tik Tok got to beat the shit out of a few of them.

I remember between the Wheelers and the Deadly Desert and the Goddamn HOSPITAL I couldn't watch most of the 1st act as a kid!
Mombi and her swappable heads however looked awesome!
There's a great video on YouTube about how Return to Oz was basically written to trigger as many common childhood fears as possible.

It was never the wheelers who did me nightmares. It was all the heads in the glass cases that scares the fcuk out of me.

Me too. That scene creeped me out and no one ever seem to remember the movie. I thought I had imagined it.

The wheelers stopped being scary the second they show their faces, and you see they're just regular guys in hats.

Tik Tok himself was nightmare fuel..... everything in the whole damn movie was.
That's the magic of it. It's truly the most horrific horror movie made for kids, it's far more terrifying than horror movies for adults too.

Yes! My mom took me to see this at the theater as a kid thinking it would be like the original. I was 4. I still remember scenes close to 40 years later. I rewatched it a year or two ago to see if my little kid mind had just blown it out of proportion. Nope! That movie is definitely not kid friendly.
