* "The Big Explosion" lives up to its name when Muffle and Stinky got an great idea of testing Muffle's fuel on Snork's flying ship. The fuel ended up being so strong that it actually ''melted'' the engine before exploding the ship. This episode was banned in Sweden due the intensity of the scene.

-> Therefore in the Moomin Valley,
-> everyone is scared.
-> If the Groke happened to
-> come at night.
* The Lady of the Cold, with her creepy singing and ability to freeze people where they stand. It bears to mention that even the [[TheDreaded Groke]] [[HorrifyingTheHorror is afraid of her]]. And when she frozes Little My, you can briefly see her ''smiling''. While her singing voice is obliviously beautiful, it has somewhat of a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp58iuIDbxQ haunting tone]].

* The [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dnko-NZX0AMdCi2?format=jpg&name=large giant]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dnko-qVX4AAOjHS?format=jpg&name=large kappa]] that chases Snufkin in Moomin's dream in "Hurry Up, Snufkin". Doensn't help that the backgroung music is like a disturbed version of Snufkin's harmonica.

* In the episode "Sand Sculptures" Little My makes a Groke sculpture. Later she goes to protect it from getting ruined from harsh rain and soon there is a thunder storm. Lightning strikes at the tree and soon the whole area is on fire and Little My is trapped. She hits her head on tree and she just sadly mutters that her sculpture is ruined and faints. Then the real Groke comes to save her and puts the fire out.

* The second part of ''Comet in Moominvalley'' is pretty disturbing, especially at the end when everyone seeks shelter and quietly awaits the coming doom. [[spoiler: Fortunatly, the comet never strikes Earth.]]

* ''Moominpappa at Sea'' is a pretty spooky novel, but the animated series (episodes 25 & 26) tones down or removes most of the creepy elements, like the Groke, who in particular becomes really, REALLY scary. But the animated show adds the ghosts and their ship with headless figurehead maid. There is one chilling scene where a ghost walks on Moomin, with only the feet visable. The scene is already creepy in itself but becomes horrific in the Swedish dub due to Michel Budsko's and Sixten Lundberg's performances as Snufkin and Moomin. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness The utter confusion]] Budsko conveys in combination with Lundberg's panicked performance sells it as a scene out of a horror film.

* The evil Imp in his lone appearance in the 90s anime. Moomin and his friends find him imprisoned inside a tree and he tricks them into releasing him from it by pretending he is nice and promising to give them all presents if they let him out. At several points his mask accidentally slips but he still manages to convince them all that he is good (except for Moomin, who remains suspicious). Once free, the surrounding landscape darkens and the Imp reveals himself as a giant demon-like creature that towers over the main characters and threatens to turn them into evil imps themselves, and even freezes their feet in place with magic so they can't escape from him. On top of that, the Imp speaks with a [[EvilSoundsDeep very sinister, deep, booming voice]], and while he sounds appropriately evil after he is freed, he also sounds very chilling when he initially pretends to be nice to Moomin and his friends. It's only thanks to Snufkin outsmarting and defeating the Imp that everyone is saved. This episode was actually banned in Finland and Norway and it's no wonder why.
