* "Winx Club" has a suprising slew of horrific moments.  In the episode "The Nightmare Monster", the title creature messes with the Winx's dreams to gain power from their fear.  Most of the dreams are pretty tame, but Tecna's features her either having a massive seizure or a violent system failure (depending on whether or not you believe she was a robot).  And you get to see this on-screen.
** In one episode in the first season, Mirta challenges the Trix on their attitude towards fairies.  Darcy's response is to throw a gob of ooze onto Mirta's face, which covers her nose and mouth.  I'm not sure which is worse, watching Mirta trying to get it off while gasping for air, or Lucy begging Darcy to remove the stuff before she suffocates.  In the end, Mirta only gets to live because the spell used to create the blob only lasts a minute; Darcy admits to wanting it to last longer.
** During the Season One finale, Bloom and Icy are flying over Magix when Icy blasts Bloom out of the air and into a lake, into which Bloom sinks under the surface.  Icy immediately freezes over the water, with the apparent intent of DROWNING her; if Bloom hadn't suddenly manifested the ability to teleport, it's likely that she would have done exactly that.
** In Season Three, Stormy develops a spell that murders a person with lightning.  Icy and Darcy don't believe her, so she follows the Winx to Flora's home planet, where she unleashes the spell on Flora's kid sister, right in front of Flora.  To make matters worse, the three of them start laughing maniacally once the spell stops.
** Tritannus, the villain of Season Five, takes the cake for scary villains.  Not only is he a monster himself, but he turns his ENTIRE FAMILY into his mutant minions; the sad part is that, aside from his father, they're all trying to bring him back from his madness.  At one point he uses them as a living shield, laughing at Aisha when she won't attack him through her other relatives.  When the Winx finally manage to restore his brother and sister to their non-monster forms, their conversation hints at them being able to remember everything they did, but being unable to resist his mind control in any way.  Oh yeah, and his whole motivation for wanting to turn the universe's oceans to toxic wastelands and bring the entire Magical Dimension crashing down around everyone?  He was passed over for the title of Crown Prince.
