* In ''Dorothy And The Wizard In Oz'', the Mangaboos (humanoid PlantPeople) are both incredibly beautiful and frighteningly sociopathic. When Dorothy and her friends arrive in their kingdom BeneathTheEarth, they immediately blame them for the earthquake that has broken their glass homes (despite their visitors being at least as much victims of this natural disaster) and take further issue with their need to eat (Mangaboos viewing fruits and vegetables as artwork). Their current ruler decides that the heroes must leave immediately but, since there is no way for them to return from whence they came, ''[[MurderIsTheBestSolution he orders their execution]] via ManEatingPlant'', and refuses to consider any less deadly solutions. When the Wizard invokes their KlingonPromotion by awakening the next ruler - a princess - she [[UngratefulBastard also decides that killing Dorothy and her friends is the best solution to their problem]]. As no other members of the Mangaboo species appear as anything other than vain, selfish and greedy, they make for a rare example of AlwaysChaoticEvil in an L. Frank Baum novel.

The ''Literature/LandOfOz'' books are children's books classics, but that doesn't mean everything in them is child friendly. Due to a combination of ValuesDissonance, FridgeHorror, and intended creepiness, the series contains quite a large amount of nightmarish potential. Scary Oz-related happenings are not left solely to DystopianOz reimaginings and {{Grimmification}}s.
