** When the king sees all the gold Rumpelstilskin has made, his expression slowly changes into a terrifying and ''completely'' unnecessary NightmareFace, pictured above.

* The Beast from "Beauty and the Beast" looks truly demonic- looking like a cross between a LivingShadow and [[OurDemonsnAreDifferent a demonic animal]] with IcyBlueEyes and an echoey voice that sometimes looks eerily [[UncannyValley like a distorted interpretation of a human]], giving it a more creepy vibe than most bestial interpretations of the form.

Given what children's media could get away with just in the previous few decades, never mind hundreds of years ago, it's perhaps unsurprising that many of the stories can be utterly horrifying for young children.
----
* "The Woodcutter's Wealthy Sister" has a terrifying moment where the titular character ''takes off her face'' to reveal the monster beneath. If that wasn't bad enough, the story ends on a rather nightmarish note with the man-eating monster silently entering the woodcutter's room to eat him. The way it plays out is almost like something out of a horror movie.
* The evil fairy from "Sleeping Beauty" is quite scary with her piercing yellow eyes, and while no [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]], she is still quite sadistic in her delivery of the curse. [[FromBadToWorse She only gets worse]] in the second part when time has transformed her into an AxCrazy, [[LeanAndMean emaciated]], [[PrimalStance feral]], demon-like ogre who is [[{{Determinator}} still obsessed]] with making Sleeping Beauty suffer alongside her children.
* "Rumpelstiltskin":
** When the king sees all the gold Rumpelstilskin has made, his expression slowly changes into a terrifying and ''completely'' unnecessary NightmareFace.
** Rumpelstiltskin himself is pretty freaky, with a {{Gonk}} face that the camera's fond of getting up close to while he makes unsettling expressions. His defeat scene has him loudly screaming "THAT'S NOT FAIR!" with a demonic echo as he stomps the ground hard enough to make the room shake, and then he apparently dies by disintegrating.
* "Hansel and Gretel" is already a disturbing story, with little kids getting abandoned by their stepmother and then lured in, captured, and almost eaten by a witch. The witch in particular has a creepy design and is introduced silently moving through the dark forest while the children are alone, and her death scene has her [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath loudly screaming as she's burned alive]].
