Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The character of Bill Cipher does some disturbing things, such as pulling teeth out of a deer's mouth ("Dreamscapers"), summoning a constantly screaming severed head and then stripping all the flesh from it to reveal a skull ("Sock Opera"), rearranging Mr. Northwest's (Pacifica's father) facial features entirely ("Weirdmageddon Part 1"), or speaking in a demonic voice (various episodes). These moments are very brief, but may scare some younger or sensitive viewers.
- Characters frequently use black magic to solve problems or for their own personal gain. This includes multiple instances of chanting incantations, spells, curses, magic crystals, potions, summoning rituals, demonic possession, raising the dead, etc. Some sensitive viewers may find these things disturbing.
- Some spooky visual scenery throughout, such as dark caves and foggy lakes.
- Non graphic severed body parts are infrequently shown. During Bill's Weirdmageddon, a giant severed head with an arm on top chases Dipper and says it wants to eat him. In another episode, a witch who collects severed hands, steals Stan's hands.
- Season two is significantly more intense and suspenseful than season one.
- The ending is very sad.
- It's worth mentioning that some of the official merchandise for the series such as the real life Journal 3 have slightly edgier content than the tv series. Another real life book called "The Book of Bill" which explains Bill Cipher's origin story is specifically written for adults and contains a content warning on the cover because of this.
- Mystery and horror are frequently featured throughout the show. Although the horror can be considered relatively mild, many episodes have a lot of suspense.
- Dipper and Mabel encounter a variety of intimidating creatures such as ghosts, demons, zombies, shapeshifters, and various kinds of monsters. Some of these may be frightening to young children.
- There are some scenes meant to shock viewers, such as a scene where blood suddenly oozes out of an animal's eyes and mouth ("Northwest Mansion Mystery"), a scene where the bodily openings of Mr. Northwest's face are rearranged ("Weirdmaggedon Part 1"), etc. This contributes to the horror element of the show.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Many of the town's characters are quite visually unsettling, especially Lil' Gideon, the Multibear and Old Man McGuckett just to name a few prominent ones. In many cases, these characters in fact turn out to be benign and friendly, or at least so by the series's end, but their visual appearance may frighten younger viewers.
- There are many emotional and upsetting scenes present. These include Mabel and Dipper discovering that they may not really know their uncle's true identity ("Not What He Seems"), Dipper deciding to stay in the town with Stanford and not go home with Mabel, causing Mabel to throw a big meltdown at Dipper ("Dipper and Mabel vs. The Future"), the haunting memories of the Stan twins ("A Tale Of Two Stans"), the false security of a fantasy world ("Weirdmageddon 2: Escape From Reality") and the most emotional of all: Stan losing his memories and Dipper and Mabel going home after calling Gravity Falls their home for a matter of months. ("Weirdmaggedon 3: Take Back The Falls").
