My Mother grew up in the time the original books came out. She read everyone, she had, and now l have the original books. She loved both the movie with Judy Garland, and attended the movie's premier. She also enjoyed the movie, "The Great and Powerful Oz" with James Franco, as well. My Mom passed away five years ago, l miss her terribly. I have learned so much from the comments recently left.

For those who do not like the darker element presented in this trailer, remember the original film was based on the first book. And the book is dark, creepy and has many elements of horror. (At that time it would have been much, compared to today.) However, it was the film’s adaptation that made the story into a light, musical fantasy. Because the film is many people’s first introduction to the story is why they would think the story was a wholesome family oriented type fantasy. It was not. The original books are a 13 book series. Growing up I read them all. So much was changed in the movie. (For example: The Great and Powerful Oz was a shapeshifter who appeared to Dorothy as a head with no body, to Tin Man as a horrific beast, to Lion as a ball of fire and to Scarecrow as a beautiful lady. And in the books, the shoes were silver, not ruby. There is a lot of dark wizardry in the books. The books caused a lot of controversy at the time and in fact, some groups managed to get the books banned and pulled from libraries in some cities. Anyway, it’s been a while, but from the way I remember the stories, this movie would fall right in line with the original stories of the book series. I am looking forward to seeing it. Check out the movie, “Return to Oz” based on the second book that is more true to Frank L. Baum’s original stories. But I still love the musical with Judy Garland. It is one of my all time favorite movies.
I think about that video from time to time, and every time I come across it, all I can think of is '....I REALLY wanted to see how this conversation started...'
People tend to romanticize Wizard of Oz, but they forget that there truly were some horror elements in the original film, so it's natural that somebody would eventually do a horror take on it.
@@andrewkohler3707 I was gonna mention Return to Oz.. that movie freaked my sister and I out..my mom rented it for us because we saw it in the rental store and didn't realize it dark af.
This would be such an awesome take. Think about it, all these decades going by, she doesn't know if she was dreaming or it really happened. She has been telling everyone about it but they think she is crazy. The more she dwells on it and thinks it is real, the crazier she gets, starts losing her mind because all she wants now is to go back to OZ, but she cant figure out how to get back or why her friends from oz wont come rescue her. She starts Lashing out at friends and family for not believing her and thinking she is nuts. Finally they have her committed.
It’s cool to see people talking about “Return to Oz” in this comment section. It’s always been one of my favorite childhood movies and they should make more like it.
While at the time yes the aspects of creepy and horror got to me in return to oz. The moment I saw princess mombi..( I was like 9?) I was infatuated..that and woth the aspect of you could somehow romance her she could be a new woman every day. It's actually amazing cause I watched part of it and it gave me horrible nightmares and then the moment I saw mombi I was just like. The whole thing didn't phase me..and I do recognize that I do have psychological issues..I mean I crushed on a woman that could detach her head..but in a way it's cool how the brain can compat horror with other things with the flick of a switch.
Two years ago I decided to binge watch every episode of Supernatural. Among my very favorite story arcs was the one featuring Dorothy and her determination to return to Oz to find her dog. And I STILL keep my eyes peeled for one of those Men of Letters coffee cups when I go to thrift stores...
I'm 53 and The Wizard of Oz has been one of my favorite movies since childhood. I also am a horror movie fanatic. I've never been so excited as I am to see this movie.
I’m so happy to see something explore the darker sides of Oz. As much as it’s a tale of whimsy and fantasy, there’s so much darkness in it as well, that should not be forgotten just because the film portrays it as nothing but full of light.
Official Announcement We are excited to announce that we have partnered with ‘Chilling’, the #1 app for horror stories and now evolving into the ultimate horror streaming platform, to bring you GALE in 2023. Thank you to everyones support, see you in OZ! UPDATE.....Gale will be landing this Autumn
dude, this is so incredibly awesome - i LOVE the spin, i hate superhero movies - find them pretty dumb, with the exception of Jaquin Pheonix's Joker which was mindblowingly brillant! this adds an element of belief we can get behind and makes it real, cool and really cool, thank you soooo much.
I really like this take. The original Oz could be absolutely creepy and sometimes plain horrifying. It was a faerie land, ruled by faeries. The Fair Folk in traditional tales could be extremely hostile, and their lands alien, even eldritch. Nobody in Oz died - even when they were torn to pieces - but they could be destroyed by being eaten or through magic. And traditionally, those humans unfortunate enough to be lured into the fey lands either never were seen again, or came back *wrong.* As long as Dorothy stayed in Oz, she never aged, never grew up and was effectively frozen in time, and that's how it was in the original series. But if she returned to our world to stay, after an extended time in Oz? It would have... changed her. And not in good ways. This is even a darker take than Return to Oz - it posits that her stay in Oz *corrupted* Dorothy and drove her to insanity, as any eldritch land would. There were a lot of good people and heroic beings in Oz. There also were abominations out of your worst nightmares, hidden in areas one could quite easily stumble into.
Oz always was a world of horror even in the books.... I mean the Tin Man's backstory and even how Dorothy's journey began with her house falling on and crushing the Wicked Witch's sister was horrifying... Flying monkeys and I always thought that the Wizard held some really, really dark secrets..... Emerald City was one of my favourite versions of the novels and I can't wait for this one
For someone like me who grew up watching Wizard of Oz, and then it’s darker sequel in 1985, The Return to Oz, I will definitely be watching this one. And this is coming from a 42 year old. Most definitely am I watching this one.
Yeah, This trailer was great. I wish every film could have enough interesting visuals and story hooks in the first thirty minutes that we never had to see clips from the climax that would give the whole thing away. Like in The Matrix, anyone who saw the commercial knew Neo would stop bullets by the end, and when he supposedly died, the commercial gave away that he wasn't really--or was only temporarily--dead, because he still hadn't done that.
The most sad part is when Emily holds the photo of TOTÓ in her hands still in black and white showing that TOTÓ has passed away so many years ago. I hope that they make something epic for this movie.....because Tin-Man, Lion and Scarecrow deserve to be in this movie. But i hope too that TOTÓ are still alive in OZ, he was an great canine actor.
Idk if you're eyes were open while watching the trailer. But this doesn't strike me as the hand holding singing movie you're hoping for. I doubt those characters will be in this version and if they ate it won't be like ur hoping
We are excited to announce that Gale - Stay Away From Oz will be streaming on September 18th 2023 exclusively on “Chilling”, the #1 app for horror. Thank you for everyones support & allowing us to turn an idea into reality. See you in OZ!
Can't wait!!!!! I think I've emailed 3xs and left tons of comments here and Facebook asking when it's going to come out 😂😂😂 sorry I was impatiently waiting this film
@@007beck9 I think the Original Wizard of OZ is what Dorothy actually went through. While Returning to Oz is a fewer dream in her head. The timeline between those movies means she is 46 years old. Leading up to to this movie.
For all those who’ve actually seen RETURN TO OZ, this new film is a natural progression in the story and absolutely goes the correct route. 👏🏼😂 it’s always been a horror story. ALWAYS.
@@huelu982 tell that to all the people who worship the original film and act like it’s completely untouchable and how dare anyone share a new vision or put any kind of horror spin on it while ignoring the fact that in the books it was originally a pretty dark tale
In 1982 Phillip Jose Farmer wrote A Barnstormer In Oz. Its a wild sequel to the original story that re-imagines that Dorothy only went to Oz once, then spent a little time in a hospital recovering from injuries she got in a tornado. Not wanting to spend her life in a sanitarium, she went along with the doctors' explanation that the wild tales she told of Oz were a temporary delusion caused by shock and injury. Later she collobrated with Frank L. Baum as a silent partner on the Oz series and went on to live a normal, happy life, aided by quiet royalties. She did share the true story with her son who, in 1923 flies into Oz through a magical green storm. There, he recalls his mom's adventure was really NSFW and UnFamily Friendly. Example: the Tin Woodsman was more like the Tin Headsman who cuts a bloody swathe through the Flying Monkey Horde.
Hi, just an add to my last text. I was a little confused. My Mom and l enjoyed the "Great and Powerful Oz", with James Franco. We obviously cherish all the movies and books. Looking forward too seeing, "Stay Away from Oz". Thanks again everyone for the great written information. I won't forget.
This looks absolutely amazing, and terrifying! I haven't been scared by a movie trailer in a long time, so that immediately impressed me! I also appreciate that the plot wasn't given away, and I just wonder if Glinda will be the baddy in this one!
There was a great series called "Emerald City" It was a modern take on Oz. They killed it after one season and it was FAR superior to some much of the dreck on the air now. This looks similar in feel. I can't wait to see it. Oz was a dark place at times.
Why did this spawn so many ideas about the look of all the other characters and the fact that Glenda could be revealed to be the villain in this movie would make it hugely good
This trailer was posted 1 month ago & I’m just now finding out about it. I love Wizard of Oz sequels & spinoffs like the mini series titled “Tin Man”. Somebody managed to turn Wizard of Oz into a horror movie, even though the Oz novels already had elements of horror in them. This looks good❗️🔥🔥🔥🔥
When I studied politics I learned that all the characters are representing an element of societal paradigm and the younger generation now is horrified by the older model.
Really hoping the characters come back as horror style villians like in the danielle Paige Dorothy must die series where the characters are all terrifying and twisted to be terrifying
As a kid I read the OZ books by Frank L Baum- I enjoyed them but as an adult I realized how disturbing they actually were. EG: The tin man's origins was that a guy was cut to pieces by an axe now his soul inhabits the tin man. The film with Judy Garland gave a whole different feel to the books. Then there was the female who exchanged different faces every day that she stole from other girls- she tries to take Dorothy's face. The 80s film 'return to oz' is far more accurate to the books. I totally look forward to this movie. 😈
Same with the books and movies, but I watched the original Judy Garland flick as a little girl on VHS at my grandparents house every weekend till it broke. Then my grandpa showed me he had a backup tape! (Love that dude!) The female you were referring to was Mombi, aka The headless witch, aka the Wicked witch of the North. She was scarier in the book. Pumpkinhead freaked me out for some reason. He was scared of eggs. And in that movie -Return to Oz she had a pet hen (name?) instead of Toto a little Carin Terrier. Anyway… your comment took me way back. Nice to meet a fellow lover of Oz. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. ☺️
@@rodian_skypyratz6181 It's certainly a fantasy with very strong horror elements, I wouldn't say it's strictly one or the other. In Praise of Shadows video on the history and making of it highlights both genres with in the film
Oh my goodness...as someone who has always thought Oz was a very different place than what was shown in the famous movie after reading all the books when I was young, this looks AWESOME! I hope to see it when it comes out. Thank You...
Well if Oz 2 didn't scare you as a child this feels like the appropriate upgrade to do the job as an adult. Anyone else want to see there terrifying abomination that monkey birds are in this movie or is it just me?
@@codyevans6454 It was the only disturbing movie that I adored as a child (and still do now at 38). It took me until adulthood to process the trauma of Secret of Nimh and The Neverending Story, but now I think those are both great (although I'll never really forgive the latter for Artax and the dude being brutally zapped to death).
This is what I wanted....I was always more fascinated by Return to Oz because the darker content. I had such empathy for Dorothy, being judged as a schizophrenic. We leave Wizard of Oz saddened that Dorothy left her friends. Yet, it is bittersweet: a union either means psychosis or Oz is real. We are left to question, "What if it were me?" Dorothy became real in my eyes because of her mental struggles. I still held hope that she had access to this beautiful world to escape the tornado and it's path of destruction. She deserved that reprieve after not only her physical trauma but the mental imagery she gathered from the aftermath. I am so excited about seeing this! 🤗💜
I’m so excited to see this movie. I like this re imagining/re telling or unofficial type of continuation of the Wizard of Oz . I hope and assume that Oz does indeed exist and Emily will unfortunately NOT listen to her grandmother Dorothy and go to Oz or find herself there somehow and see all of the horrors that Dorothy did, but be able to overcome and defeat them and help cure her grandmother’s trauma in the end. I hope Oz is dark, demented, twisted, evil and hopeless and I hope the inhabitants remember Dorothy and what happened there with her and hopefully we get some back story
@@scottmantooth8785 if you know about What happened behind the scenes o ‘ th’ original “Wizard Of OZ” ya could very well claim that this “franchise” was horror from its very essence
Never heard of this movie but have always been intrigued by the creepiness of the original. I saw someone post about this on Facebook and looked up trailer. Can't wait to see it
I'd watched wizard of Oz as a kid, the wicked witch of the west scared me, 20 years later I watched return of Oz dark sequel. Finally there's darker sequel of Dorothy's grandchild to find answer about her life of Oz and her dog toto, I'm looking forward this movie next year.
Honestly, I don’t hate this, usually movies that try to make a classic non horror story a horror movie just plain suck but this looks like it has legitimate effort in it
I remember reading the book for the first time long after seeing the movie. I just remember thinking "this is WAY different than what I saw in the movie."
It says her mind’s entanglement with the paranormal. “And the dreams that you dare to dream REALLY DO COME TRUE” Oh. That would have been good to be said here
I like the premise. But I fear as it goes into a reimagining that it will not be translated well. I mean would be a great idea following the concepts in Disney's Return to OZ with Mombie, Wheelers, and especially the Nome King; who was the constant antagonist of the OZ series. Alot think the Witch is the main villain but really it was him more then anything that was present in all the books.
OK aside from the drastically underrated 1980s Disney attempt "Return to Oz", NONE( including the 1930s version that we all know and love) of the adaptions or the spinoffs of L Frank Baum's original books and illustrations have come close to capturing the creeping childhood scares and horror that I felt reading those books as a kid in the musty 100 plus year old Public Library above the fudge shop in my hometown. The library had early editions perhaps first mass print hardback editions that you had to read in the library and couldn't check out. I'm already having phantom fudge smells again watching this trailer and can't wait to see the film. In the mean time while we wait for this... I'm assuming most you haven't seen the creaptastic fest that is"Return to Oz". i highly recommend it if you like the willies that this trailer gives out. it is a mostly family friendly film.. but not really lol. anyone who has seen it knows what i'm talking about even if they hate the film.

This trailer was posted 1 month ago & I’m just now finding out about it.
I love Wizard of Oz sequels & spinoffs like the mini series titled “Tin Man”.
Somebody managed to turn Wizard of Oz into a horror movie, even though the Oz novels already had elements of horror in them.
This looks good❗️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tin man was absolutely awesome
When I studied politics I learned that all the characters are representing an element of societal paradigm and the younger generation now is horrified by the older model.
Where can I watch this movie!!!!!
I'm just finding out about it.
I was like "meh" until that last "STAY AWAY FROM OZ" and that legitimately freaked the hell outta me. Bravo
If this is as creepy as Return to Oz then I’m all in 😂
The wheelers!
😂
Omg YES!!! That was wonderfully dark!
Hell ya! Return to Oz is one of my favorite movies. It's a brilliantly crafted film. I'll be open to seeing this one.
MOMBI!!!!
I've always wanted a scary follow up to the original. I've always wanted to see more of the haunted forest. I really hope they spend some time there.
😱 That trailer definitely freaked the crap out of me! I think I'll stay on the yellow brick road from now on!!! hahahaha 😂😂
Really hoping the characters come back as horror style villians like in the danielle Paige Dorothy must die series where the characters are all terrifying and twisted to be terrifying
I loved that series
That would be sweet
Well, we did see the scarecrow! Can't wait to see what it looks like.
That series was definitely good, but have you read Shadow of Oz by Nick Damon? IMHO it was even better!
I've tried to start reading "Dorothy must Die" so many times and haven't gotten past the first chapter.
As a kid I read the OZ books by Frank L Baum- I enjoyed them but as an adult I realized how disturbing they actually were. EG: The tin man's origins was that a guy was cut to pieces by an axe now his soul inhabits the tin man. The film with Judy Garland gave a whole different feel to the books. Then there was the female who exchanged different faces every day that she stole from other girls- she tries to take Dorothy's face. The 80s film 'return to oz' is far more accurate to the books. I totally look forward to this movie. 😈
Same with the books and movies, but I watched the original Judy Garland flick as a little girl on VHS at my grandparents house every weekend till it broke. Then my grandpa showed me he had a backup tape! (Love that dude!) The female you were referring to was Mombi, aka The headless witch, aka the Wicked witch of the North. She was scarier in the book. Pumpkinhead freaked me out for some reason. He was scared of eggs. And in that movie -Return to Oz she had a pet hen (name?) instead of Toto a little Carin Terrier. Anyway… your comment took me way back. Nice to meet a fellow lover of Oz. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. ☺️
The Hen was called Belina and I was obsessed with her as a little girl ❤
They already made a horror movie version of Wizard of Oz. It's called Return to Oz.
I have trauma from that movie 🤣
But it wasn't intended as a horror movie. But yeah, I do see your point. The freaky imagry in it is definitly horror movie material.
Not only is Return to Oz a horror, it's truest to the source material out of any Oz movie
@@katieo1787 I think it’s more of a straight fantasy movie like the original.
@@rodian_skypyratz6181 It's certainly a fantasy with very strong horror elements, I wouldn't say it's strictly one or the other. In Praise of Shadows video on the history and making of it highlights both genres with in the film
I live in Syracuse New York where the author wrote these Oz stories… Ozfest and a museum in Chittenango NY
Oh my goodness...as someone who has always thought Oz was a very different place than what was shown in the famous movie after reading all the books when I was young, this looks AWESOME! I hope to see it when it comes out. Thank You...
Where can I find this film now please? It doesn't come up when I search for it on Chiller, though I may be doing it wrong. Thanks in advance.
I saw it and I loved it. It's only 28 minutes but waiting on the rest to be released. Any info on when it's going to be finished/released?
I love the premise of this movie. It looks extremely interesting.
Tone,lighting on point. The director has a good eye.
The dialogue is rough, find a solid screenwriter to bring this project home. 🙏🏾
I hope this comes out for real. Looks great.
Are they ever going to release this please please please say yes
Not a movie but a mini series. I want to see the world you’d create & I want to take my time!!!
Well if Oz 2 didn't scare you as a child this feels like the appropriate upgrade to do the job as an adult. Anyone else want to see there terrifying abomination that monkey birds are in this movie or is it just me?
Monkey birds....nightmares since I was little!
return to OZ was so creepy
@@codyevans6454 It was the only disturbing movie that I adored as a child (and still do now at 38). It took me until adulthood to process the trauma of Secret of Nimh and The Neverending Story, but now I think those are both great (although I'll never really forgive the latter for Artax and the dude being brutally zapped to death).
@@andrewkohler3707 oh Artax 😥
Where to watch??
The Wizard of Oz is one of my top 3 fav movies.. and i said yeaars ago i hope someone makes a horror version... THANK YOU!!!
O-M-G … how am I just hearing about this?! My favorite movie is Wizard of Oz, and my favorite genre is horror … YES, PLEASE!! 👏😄
i wish all trailers were this vague. my take away is scary version of the wizard of oz, i'm in. thanks for not spoiling the movie
The subtitles said "stay away from us" when she was supposed to be saying "stay away from oz"
This is what I wanted....I was always more fascinated by Return to Oz because the darker content. I had such empathy for Dorothy, being judged as a schizophrenic. We leave Wizard of Oz saddened that Dorothy left her friends. Yet, it is bittersweet: a union either means psychosis or Oz is real. We are left to question, "What if it were me?" Dorothy became real in my eyes because of her mental struggles. I still held hope that she had access to this beautiful world to escape the tornado and it's path of destruction. She deserved that reprieve after not only her physical trauma but the mental imagery she gathered from the aftermath. I am so excited about seeing this! 🤗💜
I’m so excited to see this movie. I like this re imagining/re telling or unofficial type of continuation of the Wizard of Oz . I hope and assume that Oz does indeed exist and Emily will unfortunately NOT listen to her grandmother Dorothy and go to Oz or find herself there somehow and see all of the horrors that Dorothy did, but be able to overcome and defeat them and help cure her grandmother’s trauma in the end. I hope Oz is dark, demented, twisted, evil and hopeless and I hope the inhabitants remember Dorothy and what happened there with her and hopefully we get some back story
When I first saw this trailer I was so taken away that I watched the original again and then read the book. Super stoked for this!!
I love this trailer, turning the classic movie into something nightmare, I'll be looking forward to watch whole horrifying film
*the books were in fact pretty dark in more than a few places*
@@scottmantooth8785 if you know about What happened behind the scenes o ‘ th’ original “Wizard Of OZ” ya could very well claim that this “franchise” was horror from its very essence
"I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!". Apparently that witch wasn't all hot air and brimstone.
I really need to see this. I hope this isn't fake. When does this come out?
Its a startup trailer. He needs funding to make it into a movie from my understanding
@@Oregonman2011 Can't wait.
Looks rather dark.
And very promising 👌
@@nightstar11801 Take a number and join the queue mate.
DAMMIT!! I KN EW that jump scare was coming and I STILL JUMPED!!! 🤣
Yaaay! 😱😆
This looks incredible, great work, very exciting project! x
Never heard of this movie but have always been intrigued by the creepiness of the original. I saw someone post about this on Facebook and looked up trailer. Can't wait to see it
this looks SOOOOOO GOOD! if she ends up going to Oz, i can't imagine how creepy that will be!
I'd watched wizard of Oz as a kid, the wicked witch of the west scared me, 20 years later I watched return of Oz dark sequel. Finally there's darker sequel of Dorothy's grandchild to find answer about her life of Oz and her dog toto, I'm looking forward this movie next year.
Honestly, I don’t hate this, usually movies that try to make a classic non horror story a horror movie just plain suck but this looks like it has legitimate effort in it
Its crazy that who ever made this an independent studio ❤
Now this is how a trailer is supposed to be like
Now thats a Trailer 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love when trailers don't give away the whole movie by showing too much this is what I miss about movie trailers so hopefully I hope we get.
Wow, when is this film coming to our shores? Never have I seen so terrifying and engaging,at the same time. I want more, the true story of Oz .
This is better than any other trailer I have seen in years without giving away the movie
Confused was this movie released if so where can I find it can't keep looking
Wow. As good a trailer as any by a major studio. I'd pay to see this.
The noise right at the very beginning startled me with headphones in. This will be good!
I can’t find a release date anywhere does someone know when it comes out?
I was trying to find that out to
It’s not real lol well it hasn’t been. Picked up
I really want to see this film. Can I watch this film on amazon or Netflix.
Good job. I love how naive ppl are. I hope this gets a major distribution 🧡
Wow !!! I didn't know about this movie ! Fascinating! Maybe I can find the dvd .😮
How do I watch it 😢
I hit rewind for that stay away from us at the end like six times and was great
Glad it’s the dark story without Disney in way screwing it up
Exactly! I wanted American Mcgees Alice...not that bs we ended up with.
I remember reading the book for the first time long after seeing the movie. I just remember thinking "this is WAY different than what I saw in the movie."
Id definitely see this in theaters no question
Oh hell yeah! Love dark takes on traditional stories. Can't wait...
I knew something evil was going to show up in the mirror behind that man, but I still jumped when it occurred, LOL.
When can i watch this?
It says her mind’s entanglement with the paranormal.
“And the dreams that you dare to dream REALLY DO COME TRUE”
Oh. That would have been good to be said here
When and where does this release? Looks fantastic!
When does this come out?
Hopefully December-ish
Real cool, is there a place I can watch the whole thing?
Poor Dorothy, you'd thought she'd live a happy life after she woke up from her 'Yellow Brick Road' dream! Apparently not!
I like the premise. But I fear as it goes into a reimagining that it will not be translated well. I mean would be a great idea following the concepts in Disney's Return to OZ with Mombie, Wheelers, and especially the Nome King; who was the constant antagonist of the OZ series. Alot think the Witch is the main villain but really it was him more then anything that was present in all the books.
OK aside from the drastically underrated 1980s Disney attempt "Return to Oz", NONE( including the 1930s version that we all know and love) of the adaptions or the spinoffs of L Frank Baum's original books and illustrations have come close to capturing the creeping childhood scares and horror that I felt reading those books as a kid in the musty 100 plus year old Public Library above the fudge shop in my hometown. The library had early editions perhaps first mass print hardback editions that you had to read in the library and couldn't check out. I'm already having phantom fudge smells again watching this trailer and can't wait to see the film. In the mean time while we wait for this... I'm assuming most you haven't seen the creaptastic fest that is"Return to Oz". i highly recommend it if you like the willies that this trailer gives out. it is a mostly family friendly film.. but not really lol. anyone who has seen it knows what i'm talking about even if they hate the film.
I'm a huuuuuge Wizard Of Oz fan! The movie was my childhood. This looks absolutely amazing. Where can it be watched?
Oh my goodness, I didn't realise I'd been waiting for this film all my life til I saw the trailer! Looks creepy and scary. Can't wait to see it!!
Where is this going to be playing?
I don’t know
Chilling app
I loved the old wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland and this for me, is an awesome re-imagination. And awww poor Toto 😢
All that's missing is a creepy version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" playing in the background
LMAO
I’d be down to see that
spot on!!
Was literally thinking the exact same thing
I was actually waiting for that; I thought it was during the swing scene.
Welp. I guess Return to Oz is no longer the scariest Oz movie anymore. (Even if that one beautifully captured the style of the original books)
