* Another terrifying tale has got to be "Bluebeard". When TheBluebeard leaves his mansion and Josephine, his ''extremely'' naive new bride, is given the keys to all of the doors, she ends up going to the forbidden door and finds... all of Bluebeard's previous wives that he murdered, [[DeadGuyOnDisplay their bodies pretty much mounted on the wall]]. One of the wives is rotting, with JumpScare close-ups of their degrading boney arm, hand, and face. Not only that, but all the white roses change red, the petals fall, and all the fallen petals change into a flood of blood, ala ''Film/TheShining''. And of course when Bluebeard finds out, he coldly states that [[HeKnowsTooMuch he has to kill her]] and [[AxCrazy chases her throughout the mansion]], [[{{Determinator}} even when it catches on fire]].
* The adaptation of [[Literature/TheTwelveDancingPrincesses The Worn Out Dancing Shoes]] has the very creepy scene where it is revealed that everyone within the strange world the princesses secretly go to and dance in are actually monsters and demons in disguise.

* "Spirit in the Bottle" opens with a little demon alone in the dark, trapped in a bottle, shouting for help. Then there's a segue into the protagonist and his father entering a forest to chop wood, which seems innocuous until the young boy wanders off, releases the trapped demon, tricks his way out of being eaten, and gets a magic cloth as a reward for freeing the spirit. The cloth turns metal into silver. From there, the story takes a drastic turn from the original, becoming AnAesop about realistic expectations and handling money carefully. The boy's father's dying wish is for him to throw away the magic cloth, which he refuses to do but does by accident. When he runs to the tree where he found the spirit to beg another cloth from him, he falls into a hole. Then there's a scene of another young boy and his father entering the woods...and the episode ends with the '''protagonist''' trapped in the bottle, screaming for help. In the English dub, the music is quite suspenseful, but the original Japanese version music is very light and happier that it doesn’t seem to be [[SoundtrackDissonance fitting]], making the scene come off as more terrifying.
