What Makes a Halloween Story Kid Friendly in Scary Stories?
Well, first of all, the scary elements should be more on the side of mystery and the unknown rather than pure horror. For instance, in 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow', the Headless Horseman is spooky because we don't really know who he is or why he's there. But it doesn't involve things like excessive blood or body parts which are not suitable for kids. The characters in kid - friendly scary stories should also be relatable. In 'The Graveyard Book', the boy growing up in the graveyard is a character kids can empathize with. He has to deal with being different and facing scary things, just like kids might feel scared in new or unknown situations. Another factor is the tone. It should not be too dark throughout. There should be some light - hearted moments or humor to break up the scares, like in 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark' where there are some spooky but also funny moments.
