History NightmareFuel / PrincessTutu

* Perhaps the creepiest scene in the entire series is when Rue, after the Raven attacks her, comes home to a slightly too-friendly evil Mytho. He wraps his arms around her waist, and talks to her about him sacrificing his heart to the Raven when he completes it. While he cuddles her hand, she takes out a knife and prepares herself to take out his heart so it won't come to that, even if it will kill him. She's about to plunge the knife in when he murmurs, "When you gouge out my heart, give it a kiss, and dye your lips red with my blood." She drops the knife, and their shadows merge into the Raven Prince's silhouette.

* The fact that if the Story has need of them, people just ''appear'' at the gates and disappear when they're no longer needed.

* The Depths of Despair that Rue becomes trapped in after offering her heart up to the Raven to save Mytho. There are ''skeletons'' around her. and it's pretty much outright stated that's what Rue would've become if Mytho hadn't been able to save her. A reminder that this girl is a '''teenager.'''

Warning: The majority of the more disturbing scenes take place in the second season, so spoilers will abound.

* The last two episodes, where [[spoiler:the Raven's blood rains upon Gold Crown Town, turning all the peaceful townspeople into ravens that attempt to peck out Mytho's newly-restored heart]]. Their chant of "[[spoiler:Give us your heart!]]" starts out unsettling and gets worse the more it's repeated.
** Not only do [[ThoseTwoGuys Pique, Lilie]] and [[HotForStudent Mr. Cat]] suffer this fate, but a quick scan of the crowd in the finale shows ''everyone'' did. Every minor character [[spoiler: nearly murdered several of the main cast.]] They weren't even aware of it.
* Drosselmeyer, the gleeful master of tragedy who [[spoiler:escaped death by writing a story of his continuing to control his world after his death with the bleeding stumps of his arms when the bookmen cut his hands off]]. His startling appearances adds to the creepiness of his slow disintegration from narrator/weird commentary guy to malicious writer-god.
* Fakir's backstory. Those ravens that seem ever-present whenever battles or foreshadowing's afoot? The ones that congregate on rooftops and are generally unnoticed? [[spoiler:Yeah, they rip people to pieces occasionally, and everyone would be concerned if the story didn't hold them in.]] The townspeople sort of know, but mostly ignore the "outbreak" of ravens that has apparently lasted for nine years.
* The scene in the cemetery where Rue finds out just what [[spoiler:she's done to Mytho.]]
* The fact that [[spoiler: Drosselmeyer's ultimate plan was instating a ViciousCycle so the main characters would be trapped ''forever'' in the town. That means for as long as he wanted, Rue would watch her boyfriend turn into a monster, Ahiru would drown herself in the lake, and Mytho would have to cut out his heart before the whole thing started over. And knowing Drosselmeyer, he'd probably make them ''aware'' of all this just to watch them go insane.]] Thank god Fakir turned out to be a SpannerInTheWorks, or this would've been a depressing finale.

* The fact that [[spoiler: if the Story has need of them, people just ''appear'' at the gates and disappear when they're no longer needed]].

* In Akt 22 Fakir almost [[spoiler: gets his hands cut off]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHWFYqsa0nY music]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5OHJ1ZQRAg used]] when Drosselmeyer is angry or up to something sinister. The latter's heard in episode 25 when [[spoiler: Fakir tells Autor that Drosselmeyer forced him to write a story about Duck trying to drown herself]].
* Episode 24 has the [[spoiler: Demon Raven's revival, set to Danse Macabre, and Mytho attempting to feed the Raven his heart]]. Rue and Tutu try to stop him but he shoulders on past, cawing and flying freely to his doom.

* Drosselmeyer, the gleeful master of tragedy who [[spoiler:escaped death by writing a story of his continuing to control his world after his death with the bleeding stumps of his arms when the bookmen cut his hands off]]? His startling appearances adds to the creepiness of his slow disintegration from narrator/weird commentary guy to malicious writer-god.

** Earlier, Autor gets electrocuted by the rock that Fakir was meditating at.

* Fakir's experience with the Oak Tree.

Oh, come on, the series is called Princess freaking Tutu! And the first season was interesting, but kinda fluffy, so there isn't possibly any room for NightmareFuel [[GenreShift in the second]], right? [[TemptingFate How bad can it get?]]

Turns out, [[CrapsaccharineWorld Pretty bad]].

* The scene in the cemetery where Rue finds out just what [[spoiler:she's done to Mytho.]] Her scream in the Japanese version is nothing sort of haunting.
