History NightmareFuel / CareBears

* The Spirit in the movie is a spirit of implied demonic origin, being sealed away in a book. She "befriends" Nicholas, a lonely boy who wants friends, and convinces him to turn her magic on the town and eventually the entire world, removing everyone's feelings and making them violent and hateful. By the end of the movie, Nicholas has gone completely crazy and power-mad, and she comes within two people in the entire world of destroying Care-a-Lot forever. Many modern-day reviews have expressed amazement at the MagicIsEvil plot, with special attention paid to the scene where Nicholas chases Kim and Jason through the funhouse with intent to kill/seriously injure them.

* It's ''all'' PlayedForLaughs, but the death traps (yes, ''death'' traps) in Grams' story in the Nelvana episode "The Perils of the Pyramid" are creepy in their own right. They include being shot by a giant arrow, falling into a pit and getting [[BuriedAlive buried in sand]], [[DeathFromAbove crushed by a falling ceiling]] and [[FedToTheBeast winding up trapped in a pit with a giant cobra.]] Fortunately. The Professor in the story (Brave Heart Lion) manages to evade all of the traps due to the two young helpers (Hugs and Tugs) and through dumb luck (with Beastly being on the receiving end of the traps, but even he wasn't seriously hurt.)

** The episode when all the Care Bears have nightmares is... kind of disturbing. Grumpy's dream is funny, it has him being bothered by singing flowers and cute animals. But Wonderheart's dream is just AdultFear. She dreams she is shrunken to a small size, and birds swoop above her. It finally reaches its peak when a humongous Floppy Bunny appears onscreen, smiling frighteningly cheerfully. Funshine's dream is even worse, as he is being chased by his motorcycle, and it ''is moving by itself''. Sweet dreams.

* The Bubbles of Uncaring, in their [[HatePlague infection with crazed hatred]], somewhat anticipate [[Film/GhostbustersII Mood Slime]]. When No Heart throws Beastly into an abyss full of the things, the Bubble-held Beastly has been reduced to a crazed, snarling maniac. The usually malicious Shreeky is openly horrified.
