every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at various children’s television
programs that have truly horrifying
concepts number 10
psychedelic alien blobs dance around
Ubbe even the title booba sounds
disturbing and threatening like an
ancient incantation that can raise the
dead
in actuality booba is just a nonsense
word and the title of this extremely
disturbing children’s show from the
united kingdom that aired in the early
2000s the bull bajas are terrifying and
psychedelic alien creatures complete
with sparkling fur enormous unblinking
eyes and retractable necks who do little
else but dance around and direct
while children may enjoy the colors and
music the rest of us are left in horror
as we watch the rituals of this weird
alien race number 9 a headmaster
hypnotizes and terrorizes his school
children the demon headmaster we must
set things in motion
every child thinks that their headmaster
or principal is some kind of evil entity
but that is actually the case in the
demon headmaster and it is terrifying
this is another show from the united
kingdom and it concerns a student named
Dinah Glass who does battle with her
titular demon headmaster he has green
eyes manipulates and controls the
students and eventually tries ruling the
world by accelerating evolution and
building a hyper brain school is
supposed to be a sanctuary for children
and the idea of its leader controlling
the children and causing them harm is a
pretty disturbing concept to imagine
particularly for parents yes I have
created you and I shall name number
the 90s were clearly the peak of
children’s horror
not only did are you afraid of the dark
air from 1990 to 1996 RL Stine also
terrified us all with goosebumps
throughout the mid to late decade and
let us tell you most of these stories
were downright disturbing even for
adults these include a haunted mask that
molds to the wearer’s face a creepy
dummy that terrorizes children a haunted
house that needs blood and a father who
is apparently turning into a plant we’re
surprised the children who watch this
show turned out okay
because these are some straight-up scary
stories number 7 an organ eating alien
tries to enslave the human race invader
zim the concept of aliens is equal parts
terrifying and wondrous to human beings
particularly kids but in the case of
invader zim they are definitely more
scary than wonder inducing the premise
of this unsettling and disturbing show
is that an alien named Zim integrates
himself into society and attempts to
enslave the human race
Zim’s pursuits lead him to do some
extremely nasty things like plucking out
the eyes of a child murdering his
classmates eating human organs and
operating on the brains of children and
to think this was a cartoon on
Nickelodeon I’m afraid I don’t know what
you’re talking about number 6 a dog and
his family are constantly terrorized by
paranormal entities Courage the Cowardly
Dog courage courage the Cowardly Dog has
to be one of the scariest and darkest
cartoons of all time the basic concept
of the show is the courage in his owners
Eustace and Muriel bag are tormented by
scary supernatural entities and the
cowardly courage must do what he can to
protect them from danger the pilot
episode shows an alien chicken snapping
the necks of other chickens and it only

broadcast human children on their
stomachs eat custard room with an
intelligent vacuum cleaner and live
under a Sun composed of a human baby’s

you out to no end
artistic sure disturbing and unsettling

[Music]
number four two animals with parents
made of legs are scammed by the devil
cow and chicken science project
while cow and chicken is often presented
as a comedy its basic premise is quite
disturbing and the episodes are full of
dark humor and unnerving surrealism for
one thing chicken and cow have delirious
parents whose upper halves are
mysteriously absent so their home lives
are none too happy and more than a
little creepy on top of that they
frequently encounter someone from hell
called the red guy also known as the
devil who obviously does numerous
disturbing things like drag chicken to
it’s surreal it’s dark and it’s full of
eerie scenes seriously what was with the
what number three a boy and his dog live
in a post-apocalyptic world filled with
terrifying beings Adventure Time
adventure time is very fun but it’s also
incredibly dark the premise of the show
is that two best friends Jake the dog
and Finn the human go on adventures in
the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo while
the show is mostly innocent fun it also
features a host of nightmarish villains
including the Lich and Goliad a creepy
baby Sphinx hybrid with mind-control
other monsters include the Earl of
Lemongrab a Frankenstein II and creature

mysterious formless beings covered in

this post-apocalyptic world and the
monsters inhabiting it are more than a
number 2 – kids keep the grim reaper as

suitably unimaginable and nightmarish
creatures frightened by Luke and I’ve
just arrived achieve a meteor from out
of this guy due to his servitude and the
kid’s manipulation of him the Grim
Reaper often fantasizes about
straight-up murdering the children
[Applause]

disturbing but the show is also filled
with terrible imagery and situations
making this one of the most disturbing
kids programs yeah
terrifying number one a mentally
unstable dog commits horrible acts of
violence the Ren and Stimpy show to this
day the Ren and Stimpy show is known for
being one of the darkest and most
violent children’s cartoons of all time
the show was infamous for being
needlessly brutal and numerous episodes
were censored due to their extreme acts
of violence one episode even saw Ren
beat a man so badly his eyeball pops out
this episode was banned from airing on
Nickelodeon and resulted in the firing
of series creator and showrunner John
Criswell Uzi while the show received
critical acclaim parents despised the
subject matter and it quickly gained a
negative reputation for being disgusting
