It might be disappointing to hear, but the making of The Wizard of Oz was plagued by misfortune. The unfortunate incidents on set have become well-known and cast a shadow over the beloved film. While Wicked and Wicked: For Good offered a seemingly enchanting take on the story, a new film, Gale: Yellow Brick Road, is now revealing a darker side of Oz. The trailer is both terrifying and captivating, suggesting a reimagining of the classic tale.

Gale: Yellow Brick Road is a dark and unsettling fantasy story that reveals the terrifying truths hidden within the world of Oz. An older, troubled Dorothy cautions her granddaughter about the dangerous creatures that still reside there. The trailer shows quick glimpses of familiar faces – the witches, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man – all returning to torment Dorothy and her family. We also see the iconic silver slippers and a worn-down Yellow Brick Road, now marked by dirt and decay.
This isn’t the first scary take on the world of Oz. Filmmaker Daniel Alexander started exploring a darker side of the story in 2023 with Gale: Stay Away From Oz, which gained some attention. This new film continues that frightening narrative. Because The Wizard of Oz is now in the public domain, many different versions are appearing, and Alexander’s probably won’t be the last.
This movie reminds me of Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, which was a truly terrible slasher film – it only scored three percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and I didn’t even bother watching it. Hopefully, Gale: Yellow Brick Road will be different and won’t follow that trend of taking classic characters and making them into gory horror stories. Let’s hope it’s a good film for those who are excited about it.
Fathom Entertainment showed the scary movie for a single night on February 11th. You’ll soon be able to stream Gale: Yellow Brick Road.
