I read one of the books when I was 9 or 10 and I will never pick up another one again. What was apparently the "Most Mild" of the goosebumps got me so scarred that I couldn't sleep for months, not only did the "happy endning" turn into a trap where characters had to run and fight for their lives in order to escape a playground of deaths that monsters place humans in for entertainment. Those who were fans of the books said that the books were no where near as scary as the show. Now, I still remember direct quotes from that book, and I was TERRIFIED, It gives me shudders to think about it, and I did not nor do believe in monsters when I read that. Common sense has it ranked appropriate because there is no blood or gore, but there is WAY intense scenes that NEVER END. SPOILER ALERT for one of the books/episodes! After MANY very intense near death experiences at a park, the workers are revealed to be horrible monsters who tell them "it's all a joke, you're on a hidden camera show for a monster channel" they say, here is the "real" exit over this way, then they lock them in a dark hall, tell them "NO ONE EVER SURVIVES HORRORLAND" then set various traps and monster on them, one character says "They REALLY ARE GOING TO KILL US!" then they escape with the monsters chasing them after the fight for survival ends.

its pretty bad 4 kids under 8

the show IS pretty scary i have to say. when i was little, i guess my brother watched the gnome episode because i had a dream that garden gnomes were chasing me. little kids won't be able to sleep at night from this, but since im older, it doesnt TOTALLY bother me!

scary

It All depends on the kid. I watch this with my siblings. One is nine and one is ten. It doesn't scare them, in fact we even some times laugh at the cheesy effects. If your child gets scard easily I wouldn't recommend watching this. It is totally appropiate language wise. I don't even remember them saying some thing like crap or anything. Some episdoes are scarier then othes.

good

It's not too scary for most kids. It was made specificly for kids! (was specificly spelled wrong?) Although,it may be scary for some kids. If you're hesitant about watching it, just know there's nothing too scary.

This show isn't really that scary. Creepy, yes, but not too scary if you're at least 10. I love watching it around halloween and just about anytime i'm looking for something creepy to watch. The first time I saw this was when I was at a halloween party when I was ten and I really liked it.

After seeing one of the Night of the Living Dummy episodes, I stopped watching the series.
