Did the Oompa Loompas freak you out as a kid?

[Simslover92]

Watching Willy Wonka 1971 version and was just wondering if they freaked you out. They didn't freak me out but I thought they were so odd. I guess that was the point though since they came from a small isolated island called LoompaLand.

I was always scared they would climb through my window and drown me in chocolate 😭

[Awesomesauce2005]

Thanks for mho

[Simslover92]

You're welcome!

[OddBeMe]

I always wondered the backstory…

[Simslover92]

Haha gotta love robot chicken

[smahala1991]

Not really the 71 ones but the 2005 ones were creepier

[Simslover92]

Yeah they were.

[FunkyMonkee]

No, why should they? From what I can tell in this picture, the one on the far left was the butler at Number 2's residence on, "The Prisoner". I KNOW Angelo WAS one of the Loompas but, I've never actually seen him in the movie. He was also in a very minor part in The Beatles movie, "Magical Mystery Tour". Before that, he was a midget wrestler.
He shows up here at 9:35.

No. I had more important things to worry about, like Chucky being under my bed, or Freddy killing me in my sleep.
Sure as hell wasn’t freaked out by a damn Oompa Loompa 😅 I never cared too much for the movie either

[BlissfullyCurSed]

I still see women looking like those from time to time.

[Simslover92]

Damn

[BlissfullyCurSed]

👁👄👁

[Simslover92]

Yeah I see that too unfortunately.

[dustybiker2]

They were a bit forgettable to me. Probably because they seemed detached when on screen.

[Simslover92]

Oh ok.

[purplepoppy]

I always thought they were pointless and added nothing to the film.

I also know when it came out loads of dumb parents called their kid verruca not realising what it meant.

[dolemite58]

No I was always so scared of gene wilder in that scene where he initially tells Charlie he loses and gets nothing though.

[Simslover92]

Oh yeah that scene scared me too along with the scene where they are on the boat and he's singing and everything turns dark colors.

[dolemite58]

Is it raining is it pouring is a hurricane a blowing 🤣

[Simslover92]

Lol yep that scene 🤣

[EmyyWolf]

No…. Most men look like oompa loompas, at least where I live

[PBandJ_Nerd]

No. I just saw them as Willy Wonka's workers.

[KaiidiraX]

Not really. They kind of look too silly to be scary or creepy

[NewUser22]

I always used to have to fast forward through all of their songs in the movie because they creeped me out so much 😂

[Sevenpointfive]

not until i grew up and realized they weren't children

[NathanDavis]

they're still weird...

[Simslover92]

Agreed.

[NathanDavis]

will be my next Halloween costume

[Simslover92]

Haha seriously? That's neat if you're serious.

[NathanDavis]

a twice, or three times the size Oompa Loompa... yes

[Simslover92]

Oh ok lol cool.

[NathanDavis]

did you try anything last year?

[Simslover92]

A nun. I dressed up as a nun lol

[NathanDavis]

[Anonymous]

The grinch and cat in the bat freaked me out more

[bowenw]

[itsclearlynicholas]

[Twalli]
