* A Christmas story (featured on one of the ''special Christmas edition'' of all things) seems more like a horror story than anything else. Jimmy accidentally breaks a star ornament (a favorite of his mom) and goes with Smudge to buy another one... Only the store is run by two witches who transform people into ''Christmas tree ornaments'' (worse, they have boxes filled with them). Jimmy's mom buys Jimmy and Smudge and they have to watch as she and Jimmy's father grow increasingly scared when Jimmy doesn't come home (worse, at the police station, the cop admits he isn't sure if they will be able to help because ''there are several people going missing on the town and they have no idea of what's going on''). Smudge at one moment is relived that at least now, no one is going to force him into taking a bath... [[AndIMustScream Jimmy points out that ''after Christmas they will spend an entire year locked away in a box and this will go on forever until the day someone breaks them'']]. Earlier, one of the witches was leaving to transform more people and they laughed about how those people might fall and break apart (implying it has happened). The story has a happy ending since Santa Claus realizes what was going on and fights them, turning the people back to normal, but ''sweet Jesus, what the hell was that???''

* The second BadFuture makes the above look like a ''Bug-a-Boo story''. The main four are possessed and taken over by evil entities under the Flying Donkey's bidding, Maggy's latent magic saves her, Monica and Smudge, but Jim decides to keep the entity within himself because of the powers it gave him, to use them for his ambitions. The three turn on him and warn the others against him, but Jim convinces most of the boys to join him with the promise of making a better world, Smudge obtains Captain Fray's powers and turns evil, Maggy isolates herself out of fear people are only using her for her magic, leaving Monica, Sunny, Denise and the rest of the gang to lead a resistance against them after Jim takes over the world and all communication devices with Franklin's help and turns everything into a Crapsack World.

* A fairy once tried to 'fix-nature' (with the usual 'watermelons on trees' stuff) and thought Monica was a bunny due to her teeth and turned her into one. First, imagine yourself suddenly becoming an animal with no idea of what happened or why. At least, she could still speak and explained what had happened to her friends. Jimmy and Smudge lock her in a cage (too small for her to even stand up), glad that they won't have to deal with her anymore. When Maggy, horrified, asks how they can do it to a friend, they nonchalantly reply that Monica isn't a friend anymore, she's a bunny and it isn't like they know how bring her back to normal. While they promise to take care of her, you can see they are throughout ''enjoying'' what they are doing.

*** The truth behind what happened is even worse: nobody really died from the fire, it caused by Future Denise, who was trying to shoo people away from The Silent, the cyborg who came from the future with her and escaped, and his first act was [[ForTheEvulz to kill as many people as he could just for kicks]], and because he was too fast to be seen, no one could see him coming until it was too late.

* In "Chicobum", Chuck Billy becomes a living bomb after eating a ''grenade'' he mistook for a pine. Everybody but him finds out and decides to do everything they can to keep him safe, or the grenade could wipe half the village. In the end, the grenade's owner, Zeke's great-grandfather who fought on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutionalist_Revolution Brazilian 1932 Revolution]], reassures them that it stopped working long ago when he took out the gunpowder. But then, when they retrieve the grenade and toss it out, it '''explodes''', and the old man calmly comments on how there was still a little powder in it.

!The Graphic Novels
* White Night is a primordial evil being that takes the form of an eerie white mist. It preys on indian tribes, possessing the males, who are transformed into cannibalistic monsters, and devouring all women and children. It only leaves a single survivor, whom White Night compels to seek refuge in another tribe, thus guiding it to its next victims.
* In Tina's graphic novel, Katia is walking home, when she notices someone in a car appears to be stalking her. Though she manages to safely arrive at her place, she breaks down and cries in her mother's arms. The prospect of being kidnapped is horrifying on its own, but it is made worse by the implication that Katia's status as a black gay woman has led to so much harassment that she has become paranoiac.

Rewriting ecample; the first sentence doesn't make much sense on its own and has a Sarcasm Mode sinkhole.


* A particular story called "Coelhinho Perigoso!"(Translates as "Dangerous Bunny!"), where Franklin recreates Monica's stuffed bunny, only UpToEleven. When Franklin was away from his [[SarcasmMode awesome]] invention, he stole the bunny in hopes of teaching Monica the lesson of her life, then in Jimmy's thoughts he throws the bunny at Monica, blowing her up and making her [[LosingYourHead lose her head]]. And Monica gets into utter despair saying that she'll never be a normal child again. And the panel where this happens shows Monica's [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids severed arm and leg]], then [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Jimmy regretting what he has just done]] to his own friend. It's true that Jimmy was just thinking all this stuff, but that kind of thing is too much for a child.
** And while the ending is rather heartwarming with Jimmy deciding to bury the bunny so no one else can find it and giving an ending monologue about how some things aren't meant to be used, it's still frightening from Franklin's perspective, who doesn't know Jimmy stole the bunny and decided to bury it and is desperately trying to find it with the intent of destroying, none the wiser to the fact Jimmy took it and later buried it. ParanoiaFuel of the highest caliber.
