Top 10 Darkest Cartoon Network Episodes

[@angelloderrico710]

Courage the Cowardly dog was the darkest series ever made by Cartoon Network every episode is dark as hell

[@kendallbellors6102]

Literally every episodes of courage the cowardly dog is dark' scary' and nightmarish as hell in my personal opinion yet I am still loving the show a hell of a lot even as a little girl plus it is literally one of my personal favorite animated shows of all time

[@missfanie2012]

Looking back I still enjoy the show, I realize now how creepy it truly was. I still wonder how I appreciated it as much as a kid.

[@0deadx21]

The episode with Eustace's mother after the episode "Night of the Weremole" was harmless.

King Ramses Curse was dark

Thank you! I’m not the only one!! Both of my parents are scared but for me I really like it for sure!! Although there’s one episode that did creep me out; the one with Ramses.

[@LucyLioness100]

It’s amazing how the ‘90s & early ‘00s cartoons I grew up with were able to get away with disturbing episodes. The ghost fish, Speed Demon, practically all of Courage & more

[@donovan802]

Was anyone else horrified by White Diamond’s face when she plucks out Steven’s gem? Rebecca took risks!

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

I'm surprised nobody put that under "Nightmare Face (gallery)" on the Evil Wiki yet.

The unreleased musical episode is even creepier... it is like a mind control brainwashing cult with creepy music and images... I tried watching it once on Hulu and I nearly went insane because it gave me a headache and I had nightmares for weeks as an adult...

[@GabrielaTorres-do3cg]

I'm 28 years old and I still can't watch the episode, that clip alone freaked me out. The unreleased musical episode is creepier than the one released.

How is The Night from Gumball a dark episode. It’s funny.

Out of all the episodes of Courage the Cowardly Dog, Freaky Fred was the only episode that REALLY freaked me out.

[@donovan802]

Freaky Fred and Perfect were two Courage episodes that obviously deserved to be here, but I’m kinda surprised that The Curse of King Ramsey wasn’t, not even as an honorable mention. Granted, that would’ve been too much representation for one show, but still. It doesn’t really frighten me, at least, but I heard a lot of people had nightmares that Cartoon Cartoon Friday Night from the horrifying 90s CGI.

[@ekbrandon93]

How did Gumball's episode "The Night" get picked over "The Rival" or "The Puppets"? I'm pretty sure those episodes are more darker since one is about family murder and the other is about demonic puppets. Meanwhile, we got the one about goofy (and/or, at the very least, normal) dreams.
