I've never thought it was any more creepy than other adult cartoons like Family Guy, The Simpsons, Robot Chicken, and so on.

I mean, yeah some of the deaths may be a bit scary to younger or more squeamish viewers but to be considered true horror the show has to be made with the intent of frightening it's audience. I'm pretty sure MondoMedia created Happy Tree Friends to make people laugh, not give them nightmares. Am I the only one who thinks that's kind of weird? I guess whoever put Happy Tree Friends in the horror category doesn't quite understand the concept of dark comedy. Blood and gore are both staples of the horror genre, but plenty of comedy shows and movies use that type of graphic content as well. Just look at how many people love the Black Knight scene from Monty Python & The Holy Grail. Just because it's gory, doesn't automatically make it horror y'know. Wikipedia is a piece of shit, anyways, I remember one time they refered to Kriss Kross a "One Hit Wonder", NOT TRUE, Just because "Jump" is their only number one doesn't mean they have other songs that were sucesful.
