Even a [[LighterAndSofter softer, more comedic]] [[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 show]] can provide a few scares.
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: General ]]

* Whatever you do, [[BerserkButton do NOT anger]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes Penny]] [[BearsAreBadNews Ling]]. It is quite unsettling if you do.
* [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant Buttercream]] is this at times whenever she cools down. The way she calms down though is a bit cringe worthy. The BackgroundMusic playing during this doesn't help matters.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Episodes ]]

* The pets' nightmare about being captured by the Biskits in the second episode of the first season.
* In "What Did You Say?", [[CreepyChild the girl who kidnaps Vinnie]] is a little bit unsettling, as well as Vinnie himself in the beginning of the episode, trying to capture and eat a fly that has both a face and apparently a personality, and speaking with a very low and un-Vinnie like voice.
* [[SanitySlippage Mrs. Twombly in "Door-Jammed" during her doorknob frenzy.]] Both SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}} and [[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment Amusingly Unnerving....]]
* Blythe's DarkReprise of the "F.U.N. Song" in "Missing Blythe" when she is having a nightmare, where fashion students with [[WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}} buttons for eyes]] menacingly approach and attack her.
** Listen very carefully to the lyrics of the original song. It's painfully obvious the students there are both workaholics and completely obsessed with fashion and ''only'' fashion! Even one of the lines in the chorus is "our clothes are pressed and we're way obsessed". It gets to the point where Blythe is getting more and more progressively freaked out at the students' obsession (something she goes over in the dark reprise "everywhere I look all I see is fashion and style but I need other things to make my life worthwhile") to the point that she's ''running away from the singing students to get to class''!
* Wiggles the alligator's bullying is pretty scary. Makes it even worse when the pets are trying to get Blythe to help them but she's too depressed to notice.
* Vinnie in "To Paris With Zoe" turns into some kind of giant monster with claws and teeth and screams in Sunil's face when he tries to change the channel. Even creepier is that it wasn't part of a fantasy, [[MindScrew it just happened.]]
-->'''Vinnie:''' [[VoiceOfTheLegion NO ONE'S CHANGING THE CHANNEL!]]
* Vinnie's absolute freak out in "Sunil's Sick Day."
* Blythe's nightmares in "The Expo Factor" can be this with a little humor [[ItMakesSenseInContext due to the watermelons]].
* Though written to be silly and not meant to be taken seriously, the ending to "War of the Weirds" still implies [[spoiler: if Mrs. Twombly didn't scream at such a high pitch, they ''WOULD HAVE'' been invaded.]]
* In "Secret Cupet," [[spoiler: Russell, Sunil and Vinnie forced against their will to fall in love with their female friends, acting [[StalkerWithACrush really insane]] and completely alienating them, is somewhat terrifying. Especially when they come back to their senses, the three remember acting like that and were mortified. Even worse, what about Baa Baa Lou who was never cured? (But then again, seeing as Josh was cured between episodes, maybe it wears off once Valentine's day ends)]]
* The fact that Goldie [[spoiler: was inches away from being literally torn to shreds]] is pretty dark for a light fluffy kid's show such as this.
* While the original [[spoiler: ''Film/GroundhogDay'' was a comedy, the scenario itself is rather terrifying, especially seeing as the main character in that movie was [[WordOfGod stated to be trapped in that loop for 10 years (originally implied to be 10,000 years)]]. Russell temporarily losing his sanity over this was incredibly unsettling, his friends begging him to calm down while Blythe panics and runs off to call a vet makes it even worse. And thank goodness it's a kids show, as most characters who go through this trope are DrivenToSuicide [[AndIMustScream (which only made things]] [[FromBadToWorse worse)]]. ]]
** Also unsettling is that the above spoilered episode, is never explained. Harold says offhand that he knew another hedgehog that this happened to. So either Harold unknowingly has this power, (which may only affect hedgehogs), or yet again, this is implying the shop being magical. But if so this makes the (sentient?) shop seem outright [[EldritchLocation malicious]], even if the whole reason was to [[spoiler: improve Russell's social skills]].
* "Littlest Pet Shop of Horrors" parodies ''Literature/{{Misery}}'', a book about an author who, in one scene, has his ankles smashed by his captor so he cannot escape. Luckily, [[AxCrazy Penny]] did not go that far, but still.
* [[CreepyDoll Sweetest Sweetsie]] is pretty creepy at times, [[HellIsThatNoise especially her loud, artificial screaming and crying.]]
* [[BewareTheNiceOnes Sugar Sprinkles' plotline]] in "[[Recap/LittlestPetShop2012S4E11Snipmates Snipmates]]", in which we learn that [[TheBerserker when there are no sprinkles on her head]] (and when they are not arranged in the right order), she becomes increasingly angry until she [[HulkingOut hulks out]] and goes into an UnstoppableRage that causes her express her emotions of pure, utter hatred (as well as insane anger), and continues to makes herself attack anyone in the vicinity, including her own friends. Sure, it's PlayedForLaughs, but seeing one of the nicest characters in the series [[JekyllAndHyde transformed into a rampaging monster]] is still pretty rough.
** "Race Team: Buttercream" reveals that Sugar Sprinkles's best friend, [[CloudCuckooLander Buttercream]], also has a SplitPersonality that can be easily, yet rarely triggered (only her alter ego's behavior is less threatening).
* In "Guilt Tripping", during "The Guilty Tango", Blythe and Pepper sing about how they imagine the punishments for [[spoiler:Whittany, Brittany, and Pepper]] after [[spoiler:Blythe accidentally caused them to pull the fire alarm]] and [[spoiler:Pepper accidentally broke Vinnie's lucky rock]]. During the first verse, Blythe sings about [[spoiler:Whittany]]'s punishment; being forced to row the barge she is on with oars. Then we see a GrossUpCloseUp of [[spoiler:her]] sore, cut-up hands. Apparently, it was so unsettling that [[{{Bowdlerized}} in the United Kingdom airings of the episode, it was replaced with another shot of the drummer on the barge]].
* InUniverse Example: The pets' reaction to Minka's surreal painting in Episode 21 of Season 4, due to its {{Uncanny Valley}} look.
