As a child I saw a scary kind of Alice in Wonderland. Which one could it be?

Submitted by JT11erink t3_10ozwsh in movies

SOLVED: The movie is **'**Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey' Thanks all the comments!

It is a movie with a grandma watching tv. And the whole house is painted pink. And scenes where it could be light blue. Like everything. The grandmother is crazy scary and the grandson is in holes sometimes creeping or crawling away from the grandma.

Ow and some kind of rabbit like doll a very scary rabbit, dolls with cloth and fur bigger eyes? I remember the scenery pink and light blue. I was a child of about 4 years old (now 31) and my aunt was babysitting when I saw this scene and I had nightmares about it. Does anyone know what movie this could be?

Sounds kind of like the flashback scenes from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey when they're in Hell.

"I saw it when I was a child".

Fine, but we don't know how old you are.
You could have been a child 5 years ago or 50.

Either way, maybe the 1988 Alice?

Im looking at it now haha! And it brings back so much childhood “trauma” haha. The sergeant drilling them man ow man how much fear I had for that voice. And the later scenes gave me so many nightmares.

Pretty much all the Hell segments are shot with a sort of deranged creativity (which is appropriate for Hell of course) that would be particularly troubling for pretty much any normal child, so the fact this stayed with you is very much the same for any other kids who were born in the mid 80's- it happened to me too, though I was also one of those 'Tales from the Crypt'/Monster Joke/Monsters and Aliens/Reads-lots-of-Books kids so I managed to flip the trauma into appreciation fairly quickly.

some of the big hits for me on this topic are: the bathtub scene from the IT miniseries which I walked in on one night while staying at my uncle's place when I was maybe 6 or 7, this random moment from the Alien ripoff Leviathan where a monster's arm is sliced by an elevator that I caught on USA one night a few years later, and this Christmas-time dinner at a neighbor's house where one of the TV's in a corner of the house had The Shining on and I kept going back and forth between the party and the movie and I think my combination of confusion, horror and fascination with what I was seeing actually inspired my interest- I think I was no older than 9 or 10 for that one.

What a lovely story and so recognizable. I also saw IT at a young age and found it very scary. But these scenes, from Bill & Ted's, left me with that scary granny, the sergeant and that rabbit and the coming after. I was so scared that years after seeing this. I'm glad I can finally give it a place now too!

When I read the title of this post I definitely did NOT expect the answer to be Bill & Ted.

This sounds like the 1999 live action version of Alice in Wonderland. The "people puppets" in that one always freaked me out as a kid, but I haven't gone back to this one since the 90s so it might not be as bad as I remember.
