* JerkassWoobie: The Beast may be a sinister, harsh, creepy demon, but he is also utterly pitiful that you can't help but feel bad for him sometimes.

* NightmareFuel: 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 [[spoiler: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. [[spoiler:[[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.]]
** In "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]].
