Spooky Kids Media consists of books, movies, TV series, or video games that are aimed at children and feature creepy characters, scary settings, and other spooky imagery. Even though they're family-friendly and, for the most part, still generally sweet and happy in their overall tone just like their non-spooky counterparts, these stories may also provide some NightmareFuel for a younger or more sensitive kid, and some of these are scarier than others. A HalloweenEpisode in a show for kids often qualifies as well. Sometimes, much of the setting is nice, but the character may spend a short, but perilous time in the scary setting (old Disney animated often use this approach).

Generally speaking, most (but not all) media for children is about sweetness and happiness, but in some cases, some of the children's media would take that very same sweetness and happiness and give it a [[Franchise/TheAddamsFamily creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky]] coat of paint by featuring scary things such as [[DontGoInTheWoods dark, mysterious forests]] where TheDarknessGazesBack, [[HauntedCastle creepy castles]], [[CreepyCemetery haunted graveyards[[, or strange lands inhabited by ghoulish non-human beings. As ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' states, "Life's No Fun Without A Good Scare!"
