Just remembered that Ever After High had Clara Lear, daughter of King Lear, implying Shakespeare’s tales are part of Ever After. Also remembered that in G1 Monster High they monsterfied Shakespeare as Spookspeare. So like, discuss?

Shakespeare's Macbeth (4.1.44-45)
Top 5 Creepiest Shakespeare Moments
Number 2: Lady Macbeth
After convincing her husband to commit regicide with her, Lady Macbeth spirals down into madness in a gruesome fashion, she cannot wash the blood of the king off her hands.
Out, damned spot! out, I say!--One: two: why, then, 'tis time to do't.--Hell is murky!--Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?--Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.

Number 4: The three witches in Macbeth
Double, Double, Toil and Trouble...
Shakespeare's witches are prophets who hail the general Macbeth early in the play with predictions of his rise as king. Upon committing regicide and taking the throne of Scotland, Macbeth hears the trio deliver ambiguous prophecies threatening his downfall. The witches' dark and contradictory natures, their "filthy" trappings and activities, as well as their intercourse with the supernatural all set an ominous tone for the play.

Number 5: The ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth
After having his old friend and comrade murdered out of sheer paranoia, Banquo decides he's going to crash Macbeth's feast, sending Macbeth down a rocky road towards madness.
Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The arm'd rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger; Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble: or be alive again, And dare me to the desert with thy sword; If trembling I inhabit then, protest me The baby of a girl. Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mockery, hence!
