* Elmer Bernstein made a number of terrifying soundtracks for this movie. Some are [[CrowningMusicofAwesome Crowning Music of Awesome]], while others are not, such as the Horned King's theme.

* The Horned King is telling his warriors to become "messengers of death" and the screen makes a close up of his face, and we get [[http://application.denofgeek.com/pics/film/darkdisney/08.jpg this]] lovely image. It almost looks like an example of TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou.

** He is one of the most horrific Disney villains, being [[TheGrimReaper a skull-faced, brown-robed nightmare]] with horns and the menacing voice of John Hurt. But then you add [[DemBones the warrior skeletons]] reanimated by the Black Cauldron, [[ImplacableMan the Cauldron Born, who lurch out of the cauldron, attacking anyone in the way]]. They shamble inexorably from the Horned King's castle to slaughter all in their path, and boy, do they not skimp on the slaughter and death in this movie. It ended up needing several cuts to avoid an ''R'' rating, and that still left in some of the blood.

** To quote website Blog/ToplessRobot, here's two of the scenes that Disney cut out of the movie:
-->In one of these missing shots, an undead warrior spawned by the title cauldron gorily slices through an unsuspecting villager. In the other, one of the villain's more disposable henchmen gets a dose of cauldron-born mist and dissolves quite messily.[[note]] A rare animation cel that depicts the latter scene can be viewed [[http://www.toplessrobot.com/blackcauldron.jpg here]].[[/note]]
** The King's VillainousBreakdown when the heroes shut off the Cauldron with Gurgi's sacrifice, leading to his army of undead falling apart. He loses all his cool temperament, and his normally pitch-black eyes turn RedEyesTakeWarning.
--> '''Horned King''': Get up you fools!! KILL!!

* In the climax of the castle tour attraction at Tokyo Disneyland, you face the Horned King and get to watch him as he raises the skeletons lying on the battlefield in front of you as Cauldron Born. And it takes place inside a dark cavern. With realistic audio-animatronics. It's as terrifying as it sounds.

-The Horned King himself. He's an undead sorcerer who wants to raise an army of dead warriors to destroy everyone. [[ SarcasmMode Yeah, he's totally not scary at all.]]

The Horned King's [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath]] by melting until there's nothing left of him.

-This is one of the only Disney films where they say kill and die numerous times, only adding to the horror.

-The fact that in order to stop the cauldron, someone living has to jump into it.....ALIVE.

-Gurgi's death is pretty terrifying. They actually showed a SUICIDE in a Disney Film.
-The last few parts of the film where the cauldron-born attack a group of soldiers. It is HIGHLY IMPLIED that they have killed them.

Henwen almost has an EyeScream moment when Creeper wants to burn her eye out with a coal. Later, her head is nearly cut off by an axe.

Taran has blood on his lip. The number of times he has axes and swords aimed at him only show how DarkerandEdgier this film is compared to others such as FindingNemo, TheLionKing, and Aladdin.

Elmer Bernstein made a number of terrifying soundtracks for this movie. Some are CrowningMusicofAwesome, while others are not, such as this one here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOVOfS_N-y4

The people turned into frogs. It's implied that the witches were going to eat them. While they were still sentient. Talk about Fridge Horror.

While TheBlackCauldron may be related to its innocuous, light-hearted Disney Cousins, it subverts them by being full of NightmareFuel beyond most children's comprehension.
