* The Whisper Country was a really creepy episode, the overly religious people in that episode made the show creepy and treated Mary like a evil outcast.

* Albert's sickness in "Look Back to Yesterday", especially when he cheerfully speaks without knowing a huge geyser of blood is pouring out of his nose.
* The final destruction of Walnut Grove in "The Last Farewell" isn't pretty to look at. All those iconic building are shredded to bits in very loud and shocking explosions that are shot in slow-motion film just to make it sink in.

* "100 Mile Walk": Charles is forced to make a pilgrimage to a far-off work site due to being strapped for cash, as well as a neighbor, Jack, both trying to support their families. There is {{Foreshadowing}} in the middle of the episode that the place Charles, Jack, and company on the job are working is full of dangerous explosives that never went off, like a forgotten minefield. After they finish the job, Jack gets so caught up with excitement he [[{{Retirony}} carelessly runs around the place celebrating in glee... only to accidentally set off one of the charges that failed to detonate]] and get ''vaporized'' by the resulting explosion- and we are ''not'' treated to a GoryDiscretionShot. The moment he steps on the wrong place at the wrong time, there's a ''very'' violent and abrupt '''[[JumpScare BOOM]]''', and Jack is ''literally'' blown sky-high, with a panning shot of the resulting smoke cloud rising up into the wild blue yonder, helping to illustrate the fact he got blown to kingdom come. And this is just ''the fourth story.'' [[WebSeries/TheNostalgiaCritic You know]], [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids for kids!]]

* "Plague": Seeing all the rats running around the storeroom where the cornmeal is stored can be very unnerving. Not helping: An eerie musical cue is played. Worst of all is when Doc Baker demands they "Burn this place to the ground" and all those rats are implied to be ''immolated'' to kill off the plague carriers.

to:

* ''Little House In The Big Woods'' makes mentions of panthers. One that chased Laura's Grandpa home in a story, one that was stalking her Aunt Eliza (her [[EvilDetectingDog dog Prince intervened]]), then in ''Little House on the Prairie'' it provides Pa and some Native American tribesmen the [[PapaWolf the incentive to hunt and kill it]].
* ''Farmer Boy'' usually isn't the most exciting book but has a few nightmarish moments.
** The Hardscrabble Boys are known for [[BadlyBatteredBabysitter driving out hapless teachers and even using physical violence on them]], some of them are [[DaddysLittleVillain encouraged by their father]]. One of them drove out a teacher so hard that he died from his injuries. All this in a time that MoralGuardians tend to laud as "innocent" and "simple" unlike our [[OlderThanTheyThink post-ColumbineShooting world]]....how is it those boys aren't in jail?

Added DiffLines:

** Honorable mention to the snowstorm that catches Laura at school. The entire school must walk in blinding snow to get back to a town they can no longer see ahead of them. It quickly becomes a nightmarish slog as Laura realizes that they've been walking far too long, shortly before she bumps her shoulder against the final house on the street and calls everyone back. If they had continued to walk, the entire school would have been lost on the open prairie.

This phenomenon is addressed again in Little Town on the Prairie, when Almanzo, who is driving Laura home from her teaching job for the weekend, has to keep stopping to melt the ice on his horses' noses.

* "The Music Box" is both an in-universe example and an example of something that could shake up young viewers. After stealing the eponymous music box from Nellie's room, Laura suffers guilt that manifests itself as three nightmares, one in a courtroom, one in a jail, and one where she is [[spoiler: being hanged.]] All three show Laura in a ragged dress with tangled, dirty hair and shackles on her wrists. All three also have a sadistic minor version of the music box tune as background music. The jail nightmare also features a grim-faced matron throwing scraps at prisoners, who then throw themselves on the floor and gobble them, groaning the whole time.

* Laura's malaria-induced fever dreams in ''Little House on the Prairie'' are pretty trippy.
* Her first childbirth is likewise a little out there. From a [[ScienceMarchesOn medical standpoint]], the fact that the doctor gives her ''chloroform'' (now known to be very toxic) is pretty horrifying, too.
* In ''The Long Winter'', a blizzard kills some cattle. How? Their breath freezes their heads to the ground, and they suffocate. This phenomenon is addressed again in Little Town on the Prairie, when Almanzo, who is driving Laura home from her teaching job for the weekend, has to keep stopping to melt the ice on his horses' noses.
* A lot of ''The Long Winter'', in-universe and out. Laura starts having nightmares that the blizzards are deliberately trying to scour away the roof to get to them. Quite a lot is made of the fact that the blizzards always seem to come out of nowhere, so there's always a risk of getting trapped away from home and freezing to death.

* "Home Again": Michael Landon does not pull any punches when showing Albert withdrawing from morphine. They are as graphic as one will ever see, and as such this was a rare episode – in an episode where most everything else was as G-rated as possible – where parents were urged to watch with their children.

* "The Music Box" is both an in-universe example and an example of something that could shake up young viewers. After stealing the eponymous music box from Nellie's room, Laura suffers guilt that manifests itself as three nightmares, one in a courtroom, one in a jail, and one where she is [[spoiler: being hanged.]] All three show Laura in a ragged dress with tangled, dirty hair and shackles on her wrists. All three also have a sadistic minor version of the music box tune as background music. The jail nightmare also features a grim-faced matron throwing scraps at prisoners, who then throw themselves on the floor and gobble them, groaning the whole time.

* "Sylvia": The evil clown mask that the rapist hides his face behind. The fact that the rapist stalks his victims -- in this case, Sylvia -- is also enough to give the viewer shivers.

It is also scary to see the climatic scene, where Sylvia is once again visited by her rapist and, attempting to climb a rickety ladder to escape, plummets to her death.

* "Plague": Seeing all the rats running around the storeroom where the cornmeal is stored can be very unnerving. Not helping: An eerie musical cue is played.
* "May We Make Them Proud": It can be chilling, downright frightening to watch the scene where Alice Garvey is trapped in the burning house and – beating her arms on the window to try to break it and escape – screams for help. Then the flames swallow her and the crying baby, Adam Kendall Jr., she is holding. Also, hearing the baby stop crying as he and Alice are overcome by the flames and intense heat – indeed, there is a cut scene of a huge fireball shooting out the window of the room where they were just standing – is horrifying. [[NoAnimalsWereHarmed This, despite the fact that the scenes of Alice crying for help]] were shot on a soundstage, Heresha Parady (Alice's portrayer) was holding a doll and the baby crying was just sound effects perfectly stopped on cue and added in post-production.
