Subject: Return to Oz
Written By: preston181 on 05/20/12 at 10:00 pm
Had a little trip back to 1985 today...
I watched Return to Oz on HBO Family. It's that "so horrible it's good" sequel to the masterpiece The Wizard of Oz. I was a young child the last time I watched it. I had been meaning to watch it again because it's Fairuza Balk's debut role, back before she went all gothic, and starred in The Craft in the 90's.
I had forgotten most of the movie, but vaguely remembered the wheelers, the lady with the multiple heads, and Dorothy guessing the Gnome King's collection for her friends, and saying "Oz!". I noticed that the voice actress for the chicken sounded familiar, and I'm pretty sure it's the same lady who did the voice of the "trash lady" in Labyrinth, my all-time favorite movie growing up.
Anyone else remember watching Return to Oz growing up?

This was one of my favorite movies! It really creeped me out back then, and it STILL creeps me out!!! I love it though!

The sequel followed the books much closer than the orginal flick.
In fact from what I remember the story line was a made up from two of Frank Baums Oz books.
I personally loved it and wish it had been more popular so it would have spawned further sequels.

Fairuza Balk was the most adorable child in this movie! She doesn't get enough credit as an actress, even to this day!

This was a creepy movie, for sure!! From beginning to end. Almost to the point where I didn't enjoy watching it. But, definitely good for nostalgia!

I used to have the hugest crush on her back in the 90's, when she was in The Craft. Something about the gothy look, I guess.
On a semi-related note, Chibi of the band The Birthday Massacre, (a modern band with an 80's style of sound), sort of resembles her.
