* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He's effectively Uncle Grizzly in all but name, still serving his role as the stories' narrator in addition to having the same voice actor (who already did all the characters' voices anyway) and identical aside from his concierge uniform, mustache, goatee and hair horns.

----
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He is dropped by the eighth series, with the retool changing location from the Squeam Screen theatre to the [=HotHell=] Darkness and the Night-Night Porter serving as the new narrator.
* DepravedKidsShowHost: Aside from taking delight in the horrific fates subjected to the children in the stories he tells, he also abuses his pet spider Spindleshanks a lot.
* EvilLaugh: He will frequently cackle maniacally.
* HorrorHost: He presents the show's stories by starting the projector at the Squeam Screen theatre, frequently making quips about the bad behaviour and unpleasant fates of the children featured in them.
!!Spindleshanks
Uncle Grizzly's long-suffering pet spider.
----
* ButtMonkey: Almost every episode has Uncle Grizzly subject him to injuries and torture.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He was dropped from the show by the fifth series as a side-effect of the stop-motion FramingDevice being truncated to the point that Uncle Grizzly's only featured appearances were the story being preceded by stock footage of Uncle Grizzly starting the projector as he narrated in addition to occasionally ending with stock footage of Uncle Grizzly laughing maniacally.
* FuzzballSpider: He looks more like a purple ball with eight limbs than he does a real spider.
!!Night-Night Porter
->'''Voiced By:''' Nigel Planer
A sinister concierge who replaces Uncle Grizzly as the narrator for the show's retool in its seventh and eighth series, where the setting was changed to the [=HotHell=] Darkness.
----
* ChildHater: He really enjoys torturing kids, plus the episode "Frank Einstein's Monster" has a speech where he compares children to dogs and remarks that he despises both.
* DevilishHairHorns: He has tufts of hair shaped like devil horns to accentuate his sinister nature.
* HorrorHost: Like Uncle Grizzly before him, his role is to present the stories, this time in the form of reading them from a visitor's book containing entries on the naughty children held prisoner in his hotel. Some episodes even end with him revealing to the audience the kind of torture he's subjected the child to once they wound up in the [=HotHell=] Darkness after the events of their tale.
