- From a literal nightmare: In Rapunzel, a number of viewers were notably freaked out by that screaming radish Rapunzel's real mother dreamt about.
- The scene with the prince, played by Jeff Bridges, bleeding from his eyes may look silly and fake now. But for a lot of kids of The '80s, it was really creepy — perhaps one of the creepiest things from their childhoods.
- While deserved, and Lighter and Softer than in the original fairy-tale, the fate of the Evil Queen in "Snow White" can still be freaky: Every mirror she looks at will turn black, causing her to scream and howl in her castle.
- When the spirit of Death comes to kill the emperor (played by Mick Jagger) in "The Nightingale".
- Henbane's One-Winged Angel form in "Sleeping Beauty".Henbane: Step into my reality. If you have the courage.
- After Henbane causes the princess to prick her finger, she removes her peasant disguise to gloat. The eyes of her human mask become pitch-black before she tears it off.
- The Cave of Wonders in "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp". Of course, is anyone surprised considering Tim Burton directed it?
- The toads in "Thumbelina" scared at least some kids.
