You don’t realize how dark Roald Dahl actually was until you’re trying to explain Matilda to someone who hasn’t read/seen it and you’re like, “Oh, yeah, it’s this really cute story about a girl with abusive parents, and she goes to a school where the headmistress is torturing students, so she uses her telekinetic powers to get revenge and the headmistress thinks that she’s being haunted by the ghost of the man that she had killed, a death which the police ruled a suicide.”
