* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8E79b1N0XU original]] animation meme to "Body" by Music/MotherMother contains literally no blood. Almost every other derivative (such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bCnHYLX81s these]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSFtEywIZWM two]] popular ones) focuses on BodyHorror.

** The ''Transformers: Generation 2'' comic was probably the "goriest" incarnation of ''Transformers'' ever. It had all the visual trappings of UsefulNotes/{{the Dark Age of comic|books}}s with truckloads or blatant robot substitutes for organs and blood.

* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel's ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}''. It features [[spoiler: morbidly obese mutant Blob devouring Wasp's ripped guts, then in Hank Pym biting off Blob's head then later getting blown up by suicide bomber Multiple Man, complete with flying guts and a skeleton being incinerated, then Doctor Strange getting squeezed by his own cape until his head explodes, and so on]].

* Where to begin with ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos''? All of the battles (especially the ones against Shroud, which take BodyHorror to the next level) in the series feature copious amounts of blood and gore. Episode 73 takes the cake when Tsali storms through the Blue Typhoon - Tsali [[spoiler: almost]] fatally stabs Sonic and Amy, shatters Cream's arms, blasts Chris with a radioactive blast of Dark Chaos Energy and finally [[spoiler: opens up Tails' ribcage and tears his still-beating heart and lungs from his chest]]. The story is rated M for a [[DarkerAndEdgier very good reason]].
** And the rewrite is ''even worse''. Episode 68 has [[spoiler: Rouge find a gore-filled cannibal larder used by Molly's group to dispose of their dead]], while Episode 69 has the Marmolim fortress [[spoiler: and the screaming remains of the Marmolim scouts [[AndIMustScream absorbed into the walls]]]].

* The dark Cinderella adaptation ''Sunny Ella'' features an unnecessary throat surgery [[spoiler: performed on Cinderella by her stepmother]] and multiple stabbings. There's also a mildly gruesome vampire subplot.

* ''Series/AndThenThereWereNone2015'': In ''spades'' - not only are the deaths more bloody ([[spoiler:Brent]] goes from being jabbed with a syringe to outright stabbed in the neck with her own knitting needle), but several characters have hallucinations and dreams that expose their crimes in gruesome detail, particularly [[spoiler: Armstrong's nightmare]].

** In the sixth season of the episode "Prisoner of Benda" a member of a stage audience gets his arm cut off, however all you see are rings representing his skin, muscle/blood, and bone. Later, in the Season 7 episode "Tip of the Zoidberg", Zoidberg is forced to give Fry a liver transplant for his [[spoiler:Simpson's Jaundice]] brought on by excessive bleeding, with Leela as the donor. [[AccidentalPun Cut]] to the rather catastrophic end result: Leela is [[WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody sawed in half at the waist, her upper torso hopping around the operating table]], with blood dripping from the incision area into a clearly visible pool of it.

** Halo/Violet. Over the course of the season, so far [[spoiler: she has had half of her face burnt off, her neck snapped, and been stabbed in the stomach by Lobo. Of course, with her healing powers, none of these things have killed her.]]
** In "Home Fries," [[spoiler: Ocean Master seeks to blow up Iris West-Allen's house, which at the time contained the loved ones of nearly every single member of the superhero community. This in of itself would qualify, but he is confronted by Lady Shiva towards the end of the episode, who says that murdering the loved ones of the heroes is considered "the nuclear option," and is only considered as a last resort given that the heroes will retaliate with full force. Ocean Master refuses to back down, so Lady Shiva cuts off his head.]]

** What happens to Victor Stone. [[spoiler: He gets caught in an explosion when he accidentally trips a wire in his father's lab. When the dust clears and Silas finds his son, the viewers see his broken and bleeding body, complete with half of his skull exposed, and a large gaping wound in his chest that even shows his [[BeatStillMyHeart still-beating heart]]. To date, this is the most violent version of the accident that created Cyborg.]]

* ''WebVide/UnwantedHouseguest'': The ComicBookAdaptation contains much more explicit violence, and the graphic deaths of human beings.

* ''TheShipWho'' is a short series where every entry is co-written with Creator/AnneMcCaffrey and a different author and is largely independent of the other entries, though callbacks abound. ''The City Who Fought'', written with Creator/SMStirling, is the longest, darkest, and most sexually explicit. Much more fighting happens in this book than the others, often without a GoryDiscretionShot, and NoDeadBodyPoops is averted. Memorably, StreetUrchin Joat sets a trap with RazorFloss and gleefully waits for the enemy to blunder into it, but her gloating turns to horror when she actually sees the immediate aftermath - there's ''so much blood'', internal organs are sloshing onto the deck, and a maimed survivor has reached for her severed legs, [[{{Fingore}} split her hand in half]] on the wire she couldn't see, and started to scream in incomprehending terror.

* The later episodes of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' can get quite gory with things like people's [[AnArmAndALeg limbs being torn off]], disemboweled, [[YourHeadAsplode heads exploding]], torn in half, etc, when in the earlier episodes hardly any blood was seen. Even when a guy was shot about 20 times and died, not a single drop of blood was shown coming from him.
** Special mention should go to their parody of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', where just about every single injury of people who weren't wearing full-body armor had pretty realistic-acting blood spill. This was probably to compensate for all the pain Creator/SethMacFarlane had with Ewoks and [[ExecutiveMeddling FOX's pressuring]].
* In the sixth season ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' episode "Prisoner of Benda" a member of a stage audience gets his arm cut off, however all you see are rings representing his skin, muscle/blood, and bone. Later, in the Season 7 episode "Tip of the Zoidberg", Zoidberg is forced to give Fry a liver transplant for his [[spoiler:Simpson's Jaundice]] brought on by excessive bleeding, with Leela as the donor. [[AccidentalPun Cut]] to the rather catastrophic end result: Leela is [[WhoNeedsTheirWholeBody sawed in half at the waist, her upper torso hopping around the operating table]], with blood dripping from the incision area into a clearly visible pool of it.

* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfAlice'': This story is a darker version of [[Franchise/AliceInWonderland Alice in Wonderland]]. There are lots of murders, with blood spraying everywhere.

A SisterTrope to DarkerAndEdgier, HotterAndSexier and YoungerAndHipper.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'', while there's no visible blood spilled, Hercules decapitates the Hydra on-screen while still inside its neck, although the Hydra grows a few more heads but still. Kinda brutal for a Disney movie.

* PlayedForLaughs in the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyXkq2vpFws&list=PLq1RHkcWD75fIZDdVVXTv6HEqhfJJZoIg&index=1 With Blood]]'' series on [=YouTube=], which adds in bloody effects to scenes from ''Film/HomeAlone'' and ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. The result is both disturbing and hilarious.

** '''[[Film/{{Transformers}} GIVE]] [[LargeHam ME YOUR]] FACE.''' (And that line doesn't cover the staff impaling that is also included.)

* ''ComicBook/TheBatmanAdventures'' is [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]] and more bloody than the [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries series]] it's adapted from.

* The ''Fanfic/BoundDestiniesTrilogy'' is a lot more violent than the three ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games that each story is based around; especially in the case of ''Blood and Spirit'', which is quite gory despite the fact that it's set in the generally light world of [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]].

* ''Fanfic/BreakMyHeartBreakYourHeartreak'' is an ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' fanfic that ''far'' exceeds the usual level of violence from the T-rated game. Most of this is due to the fic's treatment of [[WasOnceAMan Reaper]], who, contrary to the fandom's portrayal of him as a walking edgelord joke, has his AxCrazy tendencies cranked up and is utterly ''[[NightmareFuel terrifying]]''.

* ''WesternAnimation/NightOfTheAnimatedDead'': Being an animated adaptation of Creator/GeorgeARomero's [[Film/NightOfTheLivingDead original movie]], as well as audience tolerances for blood and gore being much higher than back in 1968, this movie is much more visceral than the original. For instance, when Johnny has his head struck against a headstone in the graveyard, a large pool of blood forms under his head, and we see him bleed out through his nose and eyes. Also, the zombies get much more brutalized, having hands and fingers stabbed through, having holes blown through their bodies, and having their heads blown off.

* The T-rated ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series has always had its fair amount of blood, considering the murder mysteries seen in the games. However, [[''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'' Dual Destinies]] has bloodier images, specifically those related to a particular backstory seen in the last two cases[[note]]Not counting the DLC case[[/note]], including [[spoiler:[[Main/NightmareFuel a young Athena Cykes, covered in blood, smiling over her dead mother's body]].]] [[Main/SameContentDifferentRating It's highly possible that this was a reason the game had an M rating]].[[note]]The ESRB wasn't entirely guilty for this - other organizations such as PEGI and CERO also gave higher ratings than usual[[/note]]

** The ''Transformers: Generation 2'' comic was probably the "goriest" incarnation of Transformers ever. It had all the visual trappings of UsefulNotes/{{the Dark Age of comic|books}}s with truckloads or blatant robot substitutes for organs and blood.

* The ''Fanfic/TheOtherSide'' fanfic series, an adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TrollsWorldTour'', isn't necessarily darker and edgier than the original movie (asides from other fanfics integrated into the multiverse that the second fanfic follows upon), but is full of violence and [[ActionizedAdaptation action]] compared to the movie's mild use of it. While the violent sequences start off somewhat light, they eventually get really graphic and brutalized, with some characters bringing themselves to BloodKnight levels. Even characters like [[AllLovingHero Poppy]] (who might probably take the cake out of the entire cast, since her fighting style is just ''that extreme'') are not immune to this. And even unlike Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's more actionized movies/franchises such as ''Franchise/KungFuPanda'' and ''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'', it's exempt of {{Gory Discretion Shot}}s. This is an especially jarring case of the trope for a fan work out of [=DreamWorks=]' first franchise ''explicitly aimed at children''.

* In addition to being DarkerAndEdgier than any of the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' franchise films, The Geeky Zoologist's [[Fanfic/JurassicWorld2020 reimagining of Jurassic World]] is just as bloody and gory as Michael Crichton's novels, with a lot of gruesome deaths and descriptions of dead bodies and maulings.

* ''Fanfic/GodsAngelsAndKings'' is much bloodier than Franchise/{{Godzilla}} media, although it is roughly on par with the [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion other franchise]] it crosses over with.

* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'''s trademark [[CruelAndUnusualDeath violent deaths]] got progressively more gory and detailed thanks in no part to its ArtEvolution.

* The 1978 ''WesternAnimation/TheLordOfTheRings'' cartoon, even compared to the live-action ones that came out later. As Creator/TheNostalgiaCritic said, when someone gets stabbed, you can feel them getting stabbed.
