But I do like his sense of humor.

I know, right?!

No way. There's been even more disturbing cartoons like Courage the Cowardly Dog and The Grim Misadverntures of Billy and Mandy.

I'd give my left nut for a Jhonen Vasquez run on TMNT.

That is awesome!

I'd actually say this cartoon is at risk of becoming a little too goofy instead of real horror. Especially when they don't focus on plot.

Okay back again, and after seeing a few episodes...I still wouldn't call the show "too scary for kids" but Buried Secrets wouldn't have been a total "kid friendly" ep. *I think that was mentioned somewhere in here* though it was a nice homage to John Carpenter's movie The Thing. -At least that was the vibe I was picking up at the time.-

My son isn't SCARED of the show. He just hasn't enjoyed this season at all (With the exception of Napoleon). He says it's been 'creepy' and just has no interest in rewatching any of this seasons episodes (again...outside of Napoleon).

^Show him some Courage the Cowardly Dog episodes, that'll fix him.

maybe. some kids are so...whimpy these days. when i was a kid i watched wizards (1977) and heavy metal, and other violent messed up animations. and i turned out just abnormally fine. yeah the show is scary. but atleast it has balls.

Like others have said, I think it's entirely kid dependent. I don't necessarily think the episodes are too scary- I hate horror stuff, have a low tolerance for anything labeled scary, and Season 3 hasn't creeped me out much at all- but I can certainly see how they might not be as appealing as some of the episodes in previous seasons. They still have their funny and light-hearted moments, but they're fewer and further between for the moment.

The range in episode types (i.e. serious vs. horror vs. silly) does give kids the ability to directly compare them and determine what they do and do not prefer as far as television genres are concerned. That's pretty neat, to me at least.
