Despite the fact that I watched Tales From The Crypt with my father as a little girl and horror movies when staying with my aunt, the only thing that I was scared off as a child was The Wicked Witch Of The West from The Wizard Of Oz. I know you’re all thinking to yourselves: “How can that be if you watched that show and those movies as a little girl be scared of The Wicked Witch Of The West from The Wizard Of Oz?” To answer your question, I have no idea but I was and if we were watching at home, I’d run out of the room and into my parents’ bedroom or my own or I would leave the room if we were watching at my aunt’s house when she kept us. To this day, I am still scared of her. However when I was in 1st grade, my class and another saw the movie because we were taking a field trip to see it as a play so I was smart because I closed my eyes and covered my ears when she came on the screen because obviously I couldn’t run out of the room and go hide in my parents’ bedroom as I was at school so I improvised. #thewizardofoz #thewizardofoz1939 #thewizardofozwickedwitchofthewest https://www.instagram.com/p/CkweLRJPPcu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When I was a little kid, nothing or no one scared me except for Margaret Hamilton aka. The Wicked With of the West from the creepy AF film, The Wizard of OZ (1939). Writer, Noel Langley was Trippin like a MF when he created this story. Nevertheless, we here @macabrerecordsinc love this film and it’s on in the background but only the black-and-white version. The Color version lacks the Macabre esthetic in our opinion. Everyone have a Treacherous Tuesday and as always… Keep it Kreepy🎃🔪#freakfineman #macabrerecordsinc #horrorlife #margarethamilton #thewizardofoz1939 (at U.S.A) https://www.instagram.com/macabrerecordsinc/p/CYVIMmStGYQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Charley Grapewin was an American circus performer, writer, and actor. He appeared in over 100 movies but is best known for playing Uncle Henry in The Wizard of Oz (1939).

Born in Xenia, Ohio, US, he ran away from home to join the circus, which led to his interest in acting. He travelled all over the world with P. T. Barnum. He worked in silent movies and went to work in talkies.

Grapewin appeared in the original Broadway production of the Wizard of Oz (1903), 36 years before the film was made. He had worked with Judy Garland previously before they both appeared in the Wizard of Oz.

Grapewin died aged 86 in 1956 at his home in Corona, California.
