* ''[[Coraline (novel)|Coraline]]'', by [[Neil Gaiman]], and the film adaptation also by Henry Selick.
** [[Word of God|According to Gaiman]], at least, adults find it much scarier than children do, because children tend not to pick up on the implied [[Adult Fear|Adult Fears]]s.
* ''[[Goosebumps]]''.
** Taken quite literally with the story ''Vampire Breath'': one of the elder vampires wore fanged dentures because he had no teeth.
Line 79:

** The poster boy for [[Defanged Horrors]] would certainly be Koh the Facestealer, a massive centipede demon that steals faces. The [[The Blank|faceless monkey]] in front of his lair is a genuine scare, but it's his voice and his words, which are genuinely spine chilling.
** The keeper of the library in the desert is just a very large owl, that's actually very polite and friendly. But it's clearly not a mere mortal creature and it's made very clear that one should not abuse its trust. And when it eventually gets angry, things turn really scary.
** The [[Weird Moon|Blood Red Moon]] during the season 1 finale.
