10	* "Beddy Bye" features detailed, jarring and ''so'' very graphic images of Cosmo's and Timmy's sleep-deprived faces, making it completely out-of-place for a show with such a [[ThickLineAnimation simplistic animation style]].
11	* "That's Life" is one ''hell'' of a ZombieApocalypse. Timmy's dead gerbil Eddie comes back to life as a zombie, and tries to seek revenge on Timmy, and later Timmy's parents, for his death. After Eddie's plot is resolved, the episode ends with all of Timmy's ''other'' dead pets coming from their graves...
12	* How about the [[CrazyJealousGuy clingy and insecure behavior]] of Superbike in, well, "Superbike"? His desperation to [[AttentionWhore garner all of Timmy's attention]], to the point of outright manipulating him by both hypnosis and [[WoundedGazelleGambit playing to his sympathies]] comes off as disturbing and creepy, akin to a stalker, and when his position as Timmy's favorite bike is threatened, [[{{Yandere}} he instantaneously morphs into a vicious, blood-red dragon like thing]] with [[EvilSoundsDeep a demonic voice]]. On top of that, when he realizes Timmy is actually trying to get rid of him (by pretending to fix him when he's really tearing him apart enough to where he loses his indestructibility), [[VillainousBreakdown he completely loses it]] and [[IfICantHaveYou tries to]] '''[[IfICantHaveYou kill]]''' [[IfICantHaveYou the poor kid in retaliation.]] Even after he completely falls apart, he desperately tries begging for Timmy not to leave him with his normal voice--while still in his dragon form, mind you. This guy is the ''definition'' of obsessed.
13	* The episode "Timmy's 2-D House of Horror":
14	** Timmy wishes to make a boring 3-D movie volcano into a real volcano, but it erupts and destroys Vicky's house, and her family move in with the Turners, leaving Timmy moving to ''Doidle's doghouse!'' Timmy wishes Vicky's house repaired, but his parents don't want Vicky's family to leave and his father's response is to ''re-destroy Vicky's house with a sledgehammer like a total maniac!'' So Timmy deliberately wishes for 3-D glasses that would show horrific images so that Vicky and her family would move out of the Turner's home. These images included severed arms in the food and spaghetti and [[EyeScream eyeballs]]. As the purpose of this episode was to show the most frightening images to Vicky's family, the producers HAD to know it was frightening for children and adults.
15	--->'''Mrs. Turner''': Who wants spaghetti and [[strike: meatballs]] '''''EYEBALLS?'''''\
16	'''Vicky''': [[EyeScream Eyeballs?]] Big deal. That's not scary.\
17	'''Mr. Turner''': Who wants a slice of French [[strike: bread]] '''''ARM?'''''\
18	'''Vicky''': A severed arm? Only one? Been there.
19	** How Vicky sees it as mundane is also terrifying in and of itself, making her seem far more sociopathic and cruel than usual, which is saying something. What everyone else finds horrifying, she barely bats an eye at.
20	--->'''Vicky''': Nobody's going anywhere! Haunted house, schmaunted house! As long as I'm making money here, '''''WE STAY!!!!'''''
21	** Very unfortunately for Timmy and fortunately for his parents, Vicky, and the viewers, this doesn't work as Vicky's parents are actually even more afraid of her. Thankfully, what follows is pure NightmareRetardant from this point on.
22	* And there's ''[[NothingIsScarier "Just The Two Of Us"]]'', where Trixie goes '''[[{{Yandere}} batshit insane]]''' after Timmy wishes for the two to be the only people left on Earth. Especially considering she's willing to ''kill'' Timmy [[IfICantHaveYou if she can't be with him.]] The worst part of it is she needs him around to ''compliment her''. '''That's all'''. She's so used to being told she's pretty that she can't imagine being in a world were she isn't hearing that 24/7. [[GoMadFromTheIsolation She never liked him, she only was trying keep herself from losing sanity. And that was by, ''constantly being around Timmy'']], enforcing/demanding him to say the same thing over, and over, and over. '''[[MadnessMantra AND OVER]]'''....
23	* That [[CreepyChild creepy kid]] that Cosmo and Wanda were almost assigned to in "The Big Problem!" His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him wishing that he had some Fairy God Parents to knock around. He was even shown to be ''happy'' when the head of his doll fell off. Thank God Timmy was able to revert back to his normal age or God-knows-what that kid would've done to Cosmo and Wanda.
24	* "Transparents!" shows that Francis' dog eats first graders in order to keep his coat shiny. Yikes.
25	* While there's nothing particularly scary about the episode "Truth or Cosmoquences", given how it's mostly just a silly episode, there's something, unsettling about the overall appearance of Luther. There's something off-putting about his eyes and how creepy they make him look, or how he overall just looks like a predator.
26	* The climax of the episode, "Action Packed", in which Jorgen uses Cosmo and Wanda and all the other fairies' energy to fuel a device that makes his muscles grow even more ridiculously massive. The sight of Cosmo and Wanda's DisneyDeath is quite unpleasant to behold, but things get really disturbing when Timmy and Jorgen's cat hit the device's reverse-switch; which not only takes away Jorgen's extra muscles, but ''all of his muscles'', reducing him to nothing but skin and bone.
27	-->'''Jorgen''': Aah! My muscles! MY BEAUTIFUL MUSCLES!
28	* In another episode, because of Timmy traveling to the past to prevent his dad from winning a race and thus Timmy's mom, this results in a dystopian future in which Dad becomes a creepy StepfordSmiler to cope with his loss and forces everyone else to be one as well, whom he calls his "children".
29	* The sequence where Crocker had his memory erased as a child. Doubles as a TearJerker, as the person who UsedToBeASweetKid had his life destroyed in one fell swoop, thanks to Timmy, who tried to prevent this from happening, as well as Cosmo, and he went through what seemed to be a painful appearance-change when the wishes disappeared, getting his hump, long teeth, neck-ears and immediate hair-loss in one unsettling sequence. And then he was chased by a mob after everyone forgot about what they're doing there....
30	** "Timmy's Secret Wish" confirms that incident aged him 50 years at once… imagine how painful that must've been to physically age without getting older.
31	* In the episode "Lights Out":
32	** Timmy wishes everything to be dark for 12 hours after Poof's crying keeps him up all night. This causes Cosmo and Wanda to become "Scary Fairies". Not only do they [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fairlyoddparents/images/8/87/LightsOut118.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/635?cb=20110718013127&path-prefix=en look scary,]] they're out to get Timmy, and do various things to kill him. And that picture isn't even their scariest form.
33	** The fact that the episode takes place in total darkness allows for multiple [[GoryDiscretionShot Gory Discretion Shots]] where Timmy, his parents, and Mr. Crocker are brutally [[InsistentTerminology lacerated]] by saber-toothed tigers and Cosmo/Wanda in their monster forms.
34	* Another very disturbing thing is at the beginning of the episode "When L.O.S.E.R.S Attack", when "Timmy" is incinerated by a type of ray gun. Timmy was standing there and screamed [[BigNo NOOOOO!]] and then there was a big hole and his hat fell to the ground. Granted, [[spoiler: it turned out that it was not really Timmy]] but it was still unnerving seeing a ten year old boy seemingly vaporized.
35	%% * Super Bike's {{Yandere}} side.
36	%% ** "Super Toilet!"
37	%% ** There's also the fact that he turns into a freaking demon from hell upon being rejected by Timmy.
38	* Some of Wanda and Cosmo's evil ex-godchildren, specifically Maryann. What did she do? ''Wish for the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife.'' That's right, that little blonde girl caused World War I... and technically World War II, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the War on Terror etc. This gives her the highest (albeit indirect) bodycount in the entire series (possibly in the ''entire Nicktoons multiverse''; not even [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Fire Lord Ozai, Azula,]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Vaatu, Zaheer, or Kuvira]] ''combined'' caused as much death and destruction), when civilian casualties and victims of the Holocaust are factored in. She is THE reason RealLife is a CrapsackWorld today, and also the likely reason for the "no killing" rule.
39	* Ms. Sunshine. [[spoiler: Or, that's the name she uses when acting as a substitute teacher]]. Thanks to Timmy wishing for her to become Crocker's ''permanent'' replacement, [[spoiler: she sheds her "Mary Poppins" facade, revealing herself as another evil fairy-believing teacher, her "professional name"... Ms. Doombringer.]] [[spoiler: Doombringer is yet another adult who knows that Fairy Godparents really exist, but she's [[KnightOfCerebus less funny than Crocker]] and has a more serious attitude of hunting fairies.]] [[spoiler: She comes to class with a variety of torture weapons, traps Timmy and her friends in a class room under a butterfly net (to prevent fairies like Cosmo and Wanda from escaping her or using their magic against her) and tries to kill Timmy upon figuring out that he has fairies while he tries to escape.]] [[spoiler: Ms. Doombringer even proudly displays a plaque with ''torn off fairy wings''.]] She's a chillingly competent and cruel villain, who even makes Crocker look like a good-guy.
40	* The episode "App Trap". Oh dear:
41	-->'''Chatty''': Hello, Timmy. I'm your virtual assistant, Chatty. I come complete with games, a camera, an [=MP3=] player, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and]] '''[[{{Yandere}} A BURNING DESIRE TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE.]]'''
42	-->'''Timmy''': WHAT?
43	-->'''Chatty''': ...I mean, [[BaitAndSwitch UNLIMITED TEXTING]].
44	* There are many scenes in "The Big Fairy Share Scare" where Timmy snaps and yells at Chloe. What makes these scenes odd (and honestly a bit creepy), however, is how Chloe reacts to Timmy... by not reacting to him at all. She outright doesn't have any sort of emotional reaction to Timmy yelling at her and berating her. For example, when Timmy and his fairies are in Chloe's room after they escape the center of the Earth when Timmy wished to be as far away from Chloe as possible, Timmy snaps and yells at Chloe. The scene is about six seconds, but for those entire six seconds while Timmy's yelling at Chloe... Chloe does absolutely nothing. She doesn't even react to Timmy yelling at her. She doesn't get mad, upset, afraid, or annoyed at him. In fact, she doesn't even MOVE. She doesn't make eye contact or even BLINK. She just... stands there, completely still, like a fucking doll. And the fact that she LOOKS like a doll and her room looks like something you'd see in a Barbie dollhouse just makes it more jarring.
45	* In "Balance of Flour", it's revealed that fairies and Anti-Fairies used to battle over the right to have godchildren until they reached a stalemate. So they decided to settle things with an annual bake-off instead. In the unlikely event the Anti-Fairies win, they'll win the right to have godchildren which means Timmy will be stuck with Anti-Cosmo, Anti-Wanda and Foop until the next bake-off.
46	* In "You Doo," Timmy gets a hold of magic voodoo dolls. The one that looks like Timmy falls in a woodchipper, and Timmy himself starts getting shredded headfirst. He is able to revert his wish in time, only having lost his hat and hair.
47	* The Eliminators from ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishology}}'' are some of the most terrifying antagonists in the entire series. Besides looking menacing, the Eliminators have the power to suck up weapons and other lifeforms like vacuums, and even take on the forms of other objects or people after they steal the fake-i-fiers from Yugopotamians and kidnap Timmy's family and friends. Basically, imagine the [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000]], except there's an army of them.
48	** The Lead Eliminator, AKA the Destructinator, deserves special mention, as he attempted not only to destroy Timmy Turner, but also cause mass genocide and eliminate '''all organic life'''. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Crocker and Vicky were put off by his motives!]]
49	* Timmy's parents decide to find him backup babysitters after one of his wishes makes Vicky too miserable to babysit. The backup babysitters are... less than ideal.
50	-->'''[[VoiceOfTheLegion GIVE USSSSS THE BOOOOYYYY.]]'''
51	* From the ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' era, the Fairy Flu could easily cause fairies to produce bombs, weapons, drugs, and poisons; things that kids wouldn't understand properly.
52	* Tootie can get a little bit scary at times. Sure, she's just a GenkiGirl who has a huge crush on Timmy but as the series progressed, her stalker tendencies towards Timmy have been amped up to the point of becoming obsessed with him. She has a Timmy doll which she mentions that she "likes to squeeze" (she meant it in another way but you never know), she stole Cosmo and Wanda's wands just to close closer to him, once built a brick wall around her and Timmy in the dark so that no one would bother them and all sorts of disturbing, [[StalkerWithACrush stalker-like]] tendencies. One episode reveals that she has a StalkerShrine dedicated to him, for Christ's sake.
53	* "Timmy's Secret Wish": You know how it's ForegoneConclusion that all kids lose their fairy godparents some day? In this episode, it's revealed that all wishes that aren't unwished[[note]]''Those'' got into lockers in Fairy World or, in Timmy's case, since he has so many, a desert island in the Bermuda Triangle.[[/note]] but ripped away by that rule are thrown into a PhysicalHell known as the Hocus Ponocos. [[spoiler:[[WouldHurtAChild Including Poof]]]]. He was one of Timmy's wishes after all.
54	* As the show went on Vicky became more and more steeped in Nightmare Fuel as a being of pure unfiltered evil. Even with her more comedic moments she just feels… wrong…
55	** The episode "Frenemy Mine" shows just how truly unhinged Vicky can be. After Timmy saves her life, she is physically incapable of properly grasping any idea of empathy. So she channels that into stalking Timmy every hour of every day in an effort to be his friend. She gives him absolutely no personal space and the whole thing comes off as claustrophobic.
56	** Other episodes show off how deep her evil really runs. In "Open Wide and Say Aaagh!!!" Vicky attempts to perform a "Twerpectomy" on Timmy; which would remove his will to live! What's worse is this is apparently a known medical practice that Timmy's parents sign him up for!
57	** "Vicky Loses Her Icky" is creepy as a whole. The idea of a tiny little insect that crawls up your ass and makes you a psycho sounds funny. The end results if Vicky is any indication are anything but. Hell mere SECONDS before Timmy inadvertently removes said bug? Vicky was apparently prepared to MURDER HIM then and there!
58	* "Scary GodParents" will probably never make you wanna go trick-or-treating ever again. Basically, it goes like this: Timmy wishes that everyone's costumes were "real and scary", starting with him. His monster form [[https:fairlyoddparentsfandom.com/wiki/Scary_Godparents/Images/1?file=ScaryGodparents375.jpg looks about as scary as you think it does]]. {Warning: It's '''''VERY'''' scary).
59	* From the episode “Pipe Down!”:
60	** The lead up to Timmy making the wish has a rather nasty argument between Timmy and his fairies as they get into a shouting match which causes Timmy to make the wish. It might not be this to adults but younger viewers may get upset especially if they’re sensitive to loud noises.
61	** The wish itself is rather terrifying when you think it about. Imagine you wake up one morning and not only have you lost your hearing but you’ve also lost your ability to speak. Now also think about how this affects day to day life like not being able to hear a car coming or what about a more commutation driven job like fighting fires?
