There should be a spin off series but about bad parents. Like for example; a parent beats their child and gets turned into a living voodoo doll that feels everyone’s pain. Or a parent tries to force their child to be pretty for beauty pageants and gets a tapeworm that eats their flesh until they are a skeleton. I’d call it Petrifying Tales for Poor Parents or Awful Tales for Abominable Adults

The Childhood Snatcher is one of those. A father makes her daughter grow up too fast.

[@Muninnnr]

Oh god, this show freaked me out as a kid. The scariest thing in each episode was usually the narrator. The only episode that I can clearly remember was about this kid/teen nagging his mom about getting candy, and the mom refused. The kid/teen gets lured to a candy shop where where the owner throws him into a caramelization vat or something, coating him in candy and making him unable to move, and finally putting him on display at a store window. The story ends with his mother walking past, seeing him without recognizing who he is and the kid shedding a tear as he's stuck, unable to move or communicate with his mother.

Its cartoon blood so its cant be classed as anything above a 12

[@Spamster3212]

@@demonic_myst4503 I don't think whether it's a cartoon or not has any effect, it just depends on the level of violence. Like, there's no way Rick and Morty would be rated 12 even if they took out all adult content other than the violence. Another example is Invincible. I agree that in this show it's not excessive, but given that it was watched by young kids, it just surprised me is all. Whether or not the show having such content is a good thing is up for debate I guess.

What makes Grizzly Tales unique though is it’s moral in each episode. For example: 1. Don’t lie/ tell fibs 2. Don’t be greedy 3. Listen to your parents 4. Don’t say I want 5. Don’t use tears to get what you want 6. Always eat your vegetables 7. Share (I think it’s important) 8. Don’t abuse pets 9. Don’t be rude 10. (Which I think is very important for parents who want their children to be famous) don’t force your kids to grow up too fast!

[@KsenyaV1307]

Another interesting aspect of the show which I really like is that there were actually some episodes that showed the faults of adults as well, basically telling the viewer that the amount of years you've lived doesn't matter, if you didn't learn to be a decent person, you'll always be nothing more than a brat that needs to be punished. For example, in "Burgerskip" a greedy businessman cut an entire forest for the needs of his business but one of the trees turned out to be magical and sentient and takes the guy away and he's never seen again.

[@chumon1992]

Yeah. I feel that's really important in kids shows because a lot of the time adults seem like, and portray themselves as infallible. Which creates a certain us vs them mentality between them. Its important for kids to know that adults arent the be all and end all of everything and that their opinions and thoughts matter too.

[@operaanimelover369]

Steve, brother, I am a certified Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids fan for life. I love the sense of catharsis I could attain from this show. Seeing horribly bratty kids and the occasionally horrid adult get punished for their atrocities is indubitably gratifying. I just want to make a tiny correction. They implemented the first theme song from Series 1 to 4. However, the second theme song was used from Series 5 to 6. Speaking of theme song, I do agree that the first Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids theme tune was a whole lot better composed than the later one. The one aspect that remained consistent with Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids is Nigel Planer's impeccable vocal performance. It is incredible to know that the same gentleman who portrayed Neil from The Young Ones can let loose with abandon as Uncle Grizzly, and he did in the most fabulous way ever.

Fun fact in the episode the combine harvester clip is from, the kid, his bike and his rabbit all get chopped up and the doctors mix all the pieces together, resulting in the kid loosing his humanity to the rabbit brain and being this grey human sized monster with a bike handlebar sticking out of his stomach, jumping around the room like a rabbit. For kids!

I remember watching the Grizzly Tales on HBO on Saturday morning back when I was a kid. I have a vague memory of the show as if it's a fever dream, but the stop motion segment is the most memorable part, especially for that creepy looking narrator and his pet. The scene where the narrator got knocked by a punching glove to the point of getting decapitated and he's laughing headless as he scared off his pet spider is the only part I remember about the show.

It’s funny because looking back I notice most of my favourite shows as a kid were the more scary and gruesome ones but now I absolutely hate horror and scare easily. I think it’s a different kind of scary though, you don’t have jump scares and people running for their life from a psychopathic serial killer in a kid’s show. It’s more just dark and unsettling. And I guess I still like dark shows. I like zombie shows and movies, I don’t find them scary at all. But I do fall asleep every night with a light on because I’m scared of getting murdered and I had nightmares after reading the Wikipedia page for the human centipede. Somehow I never got nightmares from any of those creepy kid shows I watched but Doctor who gave me nightmares for years. I was fine watching this show but watch a cyberman kill one person and I was scarred for life.

At least you won't have to worry about a Weeping Angel if you do lose your eyelids. In all seriousness, though. Due to automatonophobia (fear of human-like things like mannequins, wax figures, statues, animatronics, or robots), I'd much rather lose my eyelids than have to deal with a Weeping Angel. Mine is so bad that I can't even have plushies designed after humans (though plushies don't cause the fear, they just make me uncomfortable). And forget about porcelain dolls. That's a horror movie waiting to happen, and I'll have no part of it. Give me a porcelain doll, and I'll ex-communicate you so fast that you'll get whiplash.
