There are dark spots in almost all of them, but I actually like that, more so because the overall feel and theme of the films stay positive and enjoyable.
It's very similar to how I see life! lol

There is also an animated version of The BFG released in 1989 which is fantastic and rather frightening at times (especially with the animation of the cruel giants and the Queen's nightmare), but is well worth a watch. I haven't seen the new version but it looked fairly decent from the reviews.
The Witches genuinely frightened me as a child, the visuals are quite shocking and are quite true to the descriptions in the book, so it's a good one for Hallowe'en!
