Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Weenies is a series of short children's horror anthologies written by David Lubar. And he sure doesn't mind flaunting the scary either. A lot of these shorts contain stories that wouldn't be out of place in an Junji Ito manga! However, it should also be noted that not every story is played for horror. Hell, some tales aren't even supernatural for that matter (One short is simply about a scary experience with a barber).Quite a few are more lighthearted and embrace the weirdness of their premises (ex. One tale is simply about a kid talking with the personification of bad luck), trying to make you laugh, some even pull a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax....and of course there are those stories that are both scary and hilarious.The series debuted in 2003 with In the Land of the Lawn Weenies, and is currently has a total of nine installments. In 2019, a spinoff was launched called "Teeny Weenies" which is the same format, but with illustrations and aimed at a younger audience.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Weenies / int_3126c34a | comment |
A Cure for the Uncommon Vampire has an Insufferable Genius boy discover a cure for vampirism - albeit an extremely painful one. After successfully curing a vampire with it, said ex-vampire delivers him to a group of vampires. He's doomed to spend the rest of his days as a renewable source of blood for the vampires, endlessly undergoing the painful transformation into a vampire and the even more painful transformation back as they suck his blood and transform him back into a human for more blood. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Weenies / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: A few stories end with the child protagonist not dying, but instead being trapped in a horrible situation with no hope of escape. In "Talk to the Animals," a misanthropic girl saves a witch from danger and is offered the reward of any wish she wants. Since she loves animals more than people, she asks to be able to understand what they are saying. It seems like a dream come true—until she discover that animals have an extremely low opinion of human beings. Even beloved pets do nothing but insult and belittle her. She breaks down in tears and hides in her bedroom after only a few hours, only to discover that her wish works for all animals, including the spiders in the ceiling and microscopic dust mites in the carpet. The implication is that she will never escape the cruelty of the animal kingdom, no matter where she goes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
