What are some examples of creepy kids bedtime stories?

A simple one is about a haunted doll. There was a doll in an antique store. Its eyes seemed to follow people around. A little girl bought it and took it home. At night, she woke up to find the doll sitting on her chest, staring at her with its cold, glassy eyes. She threw the doll away the next day.

One example could be a story about a haunted doll that moves around at night. It might start with a little girl finding an old doll in an attic. Every night, she hears strange noises coming from the doll's corner, and when she wakes up, the doll is in a different position each time.

A super creepy bedtime story is 'The Dark Woods'. There is a forest near a small village that is said to be haunted. A young girl ventures into the woods one day and gets lost. As night falls, she hears strange howls and sees pairs of yellow eyes in the bushes. She tries to find her way out but it seems like the woods are constantly changing and she can't escape. Every time she thinks she's getting closer to the edge of the forest, she finds herself deeper inside. It's a story that plays on the fear of being lost in an unknown and spooky place.

One example could be a story about a haunted mansion within the Layers of Fear universe. A family moves into an old, dilapidated mansion that seems to change its layout every night. Strange noises come from the walls, and shadowy figures are seen in the hallways. Another could be a story of a cursed painting in the mansion. The eyes of the figure in the painting seem to follow you around the room, and at night, it starts to ooze a strange liquid.

Some people like them because they add an element of excitement. It's a different kind of thrill compared to normal bedtime stories. Kids might enjoy the shiver they get from a creepy story in a safe environment, like their bedroom with a parent or guardian nearby.

There are many. For instance, 'The Ugly Duckling' by Hans Christian Andersen. It tells the story of a duckling that looks different from the others but eventually grows into a beautiful swan. 'Alice in Wonderland' can also be a fun bedtime story. Alice follows a white rabbit down a hole and has all kinds of strange adventures in a magical world.

Well, there's the 'The Witch in the Attic'. In this story, a witch lives in the attic of an old house and she tries to lure the children who live there to come up and visit her. Then there's 'The Scary Shadow Man'. This character follows kids around in the dark and has no real form. Also, 'The Creeping Hand' is a spooky one. A disembodied hand crawls around under kids' beds at night.

Well, 'The Ugly Duckling' is a really good fun bedtime story. It tells the story of a duckling that looks different from the others but later discovers that it is actually a beautiful swan. 'Jack and the Beanstalk' is exciting too. Jack climbs a huge beanstalk, finds a giant's castle, and outsmarts the giant to bring back wealth for his family. And then there's 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', a story about a beautiful princess and the dwarfs who protect her from the evil queen.

One creepy kids story is 'The Babadook'. It's about a single mother and her son who discovers a mysterious pop - up book that seems to bring a menacing presence, the Babadook, into their lives. The creature torments them, especially the boy, and it's really spooky.

One popular one is 'The Three Little Pigs'. The pigs are cute characters, and the story of them building their houses and outwitting the big bad wolf is both engaging and has a moral lesson. Another is 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Goldilocks is a curious and somewhat naughty but cute character, and kids love to follow her adventures in the bears' house.
